MIGRATORY BIRD PROTECTION
The migratory bird conservation bill
now before the Senate is supplemental leg
islation to the bird treaty now in effect with
Canada and necessary to carry out the pur
poses of the treaty. A new and wholly un
anticipated danger threatens the existence
of migratory wild fowl because of the ex
traordinary rapidity with which fresh wa
ter areas and marshlands are being drain
ed or otherwise destroyed. The birds are
being crowded into the remaining water
areas to such an extent that their food sup
ply is endangered, and for the same reason
diseases have developed which have des
troyed millions of birds.
1 The only posisble remedy which will in
sure the perpetuation of the wild fowl sup
ply and the fine sport of wild fowl hunting
is "the saving of existing marshlands and the
restoration, when possible, of drained areas,
always with due consideration for farming
values.
The migratory Dim Din now oeiore me
Senate provides the maens to accomplish
the result. Funds for purchasing the marsh- i
lands are to be provided by a Federal license
fee of one dollar imposed on the duck hunt
ers. The States require similar fees from
those who hunt localized game. The hunt
ers are anxious to be thus taxed, not only
for the sake of their sport, but to save from
annihilation the splendid species of water
fowl which are one of the glories of Am
erica’s wilds.
The bill provides for both bird refuges
aid public shooting grounds. Some objec
tion has been raised to the latter under the
mistaken idea that shooting would be per
mitted on areas designated as refuges. This
is an error, as a reference to the bill will
show. Many marshlands will be preserved
solely as refuges, and no shooting will be
permitted at any time on any of these sanc
tuaries. There will, however, be other areas
which will be open for three months or so
for shooting under proper regulations.
Whenever it becomes apparent for any rea
son that hunting on any of the shooting
grounds becomes harmful to the perpetua- ,
tion of the wild fowl, such areas will be '
made refuges and shooting prohibited.
Sportsmen are giving up existing shoot
ing grounds in order that they may be turn
ed into sanctuaries for the welfare of the
birds. They are to pay the entire cost of
this great conservation project. No other
class of citizens is either giving up any
thing or paying anything. All that the
sportsmen ask in return is that there be in
sured for the future, from the purchases
made under the provisions of the bill, a rea
sonable number of areas to which the pub
lic may have access for shooting.
The bill is constructive and will accom
plish its purpose without injury to any in
terest. It should pass without amendment.
“When women shortened their dresses
to their knees they added 5 years to their
lives,” declares Dr. Roger Andrieu, Paris
hygienist, apparently oblivious to the fast
that most of the woman who have lived
longest so far don’t wear them so short.
