David Starr Jordan objects to H.R. 4386, “An Act to prevent the extermination of fur-bearing animals in Alaska, and for other purposes.” Jordan recommends negotiating with Great Britain to appoint a joint commission of naturalists to agree on sealing regulations. They must also consider the legal rights of Canada, Russia, and Japan.
