THE WATERFOWL CRISIS Duclrs Unlimited

Ducks Unlimited. a new organ- ization of sportsmen. is sponslred by More Game Birds. and was 1n- corporaled in January. i937. How fincer‘ thhfig titlesdlsxioundi It is vtgtltl su -soun g phrases a the nature-minded public Is led astray. Ducks Unlimited is an or- gnnizstlon whose aim is to shoot ducks without limit; More Game Birds moans more game birds for the hunter to destroy.

The big idea of Ducks Unlimited u first set forth. is to spend a million dollars or so in improving the marshes of Canada, in order to increase the waterfowl of North America. But without a sufficient hreedinl 5100K. bigger and better

"The finest duck hunting area in New England is Merrymeeting Buy. on the coast of Maine. Lo- cated st the mouths of two rivers. the bay is one great field of rice. Just recently a movement has breil launched by anti-hunting factions to close the bay to all hunting as a Federal wildlife refuge, The Na- tional Resources Committee at Washington has a/ppmved the pro- posal, and issued a report in sup- port of the project.

suppose could save

food. But the ducks that in years gone by bred in untold millions in these marshes were lured to bait. and shot while on migration through the United States. Now. baiting is prohibited. but only a tiflul remnant of ducks is scat- rcd in marshes that once sup- ported a mighty host Not lack of marshes. but excess of hunting is the cause of water- fowl destruction. Mr. W. C. Henderson. official spokesman of the U. B. Biological Survey, sm- phasizes the need to cut down hunting. saying as follows: “Unless the destruction is stay- ed, the hunting of ducks. or some

species of them. will soon be a thing of the past. "The first to be dons -

and the nmaasit so obvious that it does not requ e argument-is to cut down the numbers of ducks and geese that are killed annually. so that we may be sure of saving a satisfactory breeding-stock."

And this is what Mr. Henderson tells us of what trained fieldmen observed ln the marshes of north- ern Canada:

hc anti- “ factions could not as beaten on this proposal with- out a national organization of duck hunfcrs.

"Some day our Washington duck hunters are d to encounter s. proposition s ar to that which

now has Maine duck hunters up in the sir. "Souls of your best. duck hunt-

uges-Iwhether needed or not. Washington, D.C., pays little at- tention to local opposition to pro- posais of this kind, but when state Ducks Unlimited organizations all over the country start registering protests the powers-that-bc sit up and take nmice."

Mr. Benson makes clear that the real purpose of Ducks Unlimit- ed is to “lick to a grazzle" the con- servation projects of bird organi- zations, of women, of antihuntlng groups of the National Resources Committee, and we might add. of the public at large. The "licking" is to be administered with the help of congressmen from every state." who have no regard for the wishes of their constituents: “Washington, D.C. pays little attention to local opposition." says Mr. Benson. but wil "sit up and take notice when approached by "Ducks Unlimited organizations all over the coun-

"Without exception, each nat/ural- ist who studied condition; in Can- ada. found the breeding stock there insufficient to occupy the areas that are still favorable for nut- lng." And again. "Over a vast area to the north. where watcr and food conditions were good. only a sparse breeding population was found, in- stead of the great numbers that the environmental condition; seem- ed to warrant. As far as this region is concerned. such conditions in- dicate that the waterfowl shortage can not be charged mainly to drought. but that overshooting has not left sufficient stocks to utilize the breeding possibilities." Mr Henderson added further. "In other words. the breeding stock has been so reduced that there are too fevw birds left to occupy fully the available breeding grounds. even where conditions are still favor- Fiblfi." The facts quoted above have been widely publicized. and are

well-known to the members of Ducks Unlimited If Ducks Un- limited was serious to save the

ducks. it would embark on a. cam- paign to put a curb on shooting until the breeding-stock is sub- stantially increased. It becomes obvious that Ducks Unlimited is

The rnamh story is for the consumption of the general public; to the gunners Ducks Un- limited has promised "longer open seasons, larger bag-limits. and the repeal of petty unenforceable shooting regulations. with which the sport of wlldfowllng is now afflicted."

And Ducks Unlimited has yet another purpose. It aims to pre- vent the establishment of morc| sanctuaries in the United States because. during migration. ssnctw] arias give refuge to ducks which the gunner wishes to shoot. Its campaign for better marshes in Canada. is a gesture calculat to divert the attention of the p llc away from its cam/p to pre- vent more wild life refuges in the United States.
