VITAL ISSUES AFFECTIN

KILLING FOB. FUN

“sport”, "Sportsmen", and "Sportsmanship"

Among the smaller mammals. the lchlef prey of the hunter includes- the squirrel, rabbit, opossum, rac- coon and fox. The hunting of each of these animals is characterized by abuses and crueltles that would l‘ not be permitted if man were real- >1y civilized, or, as the dictionary lqiiiiiiiny piiis u, “reclaimed from l the savage state." l It is customary l.u some regions 1‘ to seek the winter nests of squirrels , after the leaves are off the trees. 1‘ (an easy matter requiring no .ex- ,ertion or acumen), and then t0 1 blast the nests with the myriad- , pellet discharge of a shotgun. The 1 nest is a large target that cannot well be missed, and its occupants . are victims that have no chance of escapel Sport? Perhaps so, in the

I l estimation of hopelessly deficient

morons. For appraisal, however. contrast this method with that of the old time rifleman. He. secured the squirrel needed for an occasion-

‘ a1 stew with the aid of a muzzle- ; loading rifle; he never thought of . shooting-up a squirrel nest, and he 155°-

pridcd himself upon a skill that

1 avoided mutilation of the animal. ‘ l-fe stunned or killed it by placing

the single bullet on which success depended in the bark close to the squirrel, a practice so widely fol- lowed as to call "for the addition in the vernacular of the phrase "bark- ing squirrels." How fallen from any standard 0f skill and sports- manship ls tile present day hunter who uses a scattergun to massacre unsuspecting squirrels-yet it 1S the modem gunner who has the ef- frontery to prate of the manlincss of "sport."

If “spoi-t" were confined to practices that test the courage, en- durance oi- any other xvorthwhile quality, the common rabbit, Molly Cottontail, would not be elevated to the No. 1 position among our gunners’ game. This animal, s0 confidlng that it will livein the dooryard, if permitted, is under favorable circumstances very pro- liflc. A breederwho confined seven does and two bucks in an acre pen had an increase of seventy-five in a year. That an animal with such powers of reproduction should have been shot down until eastern States. catering to large numbers oi hunters, have been obliged to im- poi-t rabbits by the thousands, is only one of many evidences that sport either is incapable of regulat- ing itself. or that. out of pure sel- fishness, 1t refuses to do so.

Nor lsjmportation a solution of the problem of game maintenance. importation is proof that regula- tion of hunting activities either has failed. or has not even attempted. Where hunting ls not regulated- lmportation can at best be only a stop-gap. The importation of rab- bits ls a serious indication of the depletion that must surely be ov- ertaking other species that have 11 much smaller reproductive capac- ity. Nor will there alway5 b9 "sucker" states that will permit their stocks to be commercialized out of existence. Years ago. cer- tain states allowed the wholesale trapping and sale of Bobwhites. Try now w find such a state; there is none, though in 1935 Mexico foolishly permitted us to import 23,358 Bobwliites which were sent to twelve states. soon, the im- portation from state to state of rabbits as a sop to huntings greedy maw will also have to be aban- doned. A

Locally, as above noted, experi- ments ln rabbit propagation have been undertaken-a laudable effort. for game consumption should be based on game production. Pro- pagation nnd the improvement of environment honld sbe employed to the fullest extent. The logical remedy for local game shortage. however. is reduction in the amount of shooting. no matter how re-

pugnant this idea may be to the careless. self-gratifying hunters. and to the needless lee-seeking dc- partmerits of "conservation" rGod save the markll. It is impossible to provide all ‘the hunting that. the hunting industry demands. Why not frankly face the situation. and make the amount of hunting per- mitted assume some decent rcln- tion to the supply of game avail- able? If this had been done in the past, there would never have been a shortage in the numbers of so prolific a species as the Cot- tontail.

Although much. probably most. rabbit hunting is done without dogs, a considerable amount is carried on with the aid of small trailing breeds such as beagles. Other forms of hunting make the use of dogs a prominent feature, and some hunters assert that they would not hunt except for the pleasure of seeing, hearing and working the dogs. If this plea is sincere. some way can certainly he found to preserve this feature of out-of-doors recreation. and at the same time eliminate the’ wantonly cruel deeds that are now a cart of almost all hunting with dogs.

The use of dogs in the pursuit of the raccoon (and of the Opossum) 1| universal, and the Mm “coon

ducted under the Roman Empire,

but many of the things we coun- ltenancc today are lust as bad; and 1lhis rending of raccoons by dogs, in order to provide amusement for “spoi-tsmen“, is a deplorable example of bvaibarism.

The finish by reading is charac- teristic also of fox huniing. where the animal is so mangled by the dogs that only the very haiiy tall. or brush, which is o.’ no interest w the bloodthirsty hounds, remains for a trophy. Fox hunting is participated in by both women and men, and is often an important s0- cial event. Millions of dollars are spent upon this "sporV: and in some sections it 1s the major social activity. Yet such advantages as it; has can be maintained with- out ever hurting a fox. Hounds may be. and am, trained to follow the "drag", a bag of anite seed or oth- er scented material; and the chase may be as long or short. as easy or difficult, as desired. Only bar- barism on the part of fox chasers prevents drag-himtiiigfrom replac- ing, the chase that. must. end in the horrible rcnding of the live fox.

Fox hunting is a highly develop- ed example of the cruelty to which all sport tends undcr what we are pleased to call an "advanced state of civilization." It has been said that sport "sometimes becomes the almost distinctive employment of the classes 1iossessed of most leis- ure and wealth." If. 1s a severe in- dictmcnt o.’ human nature that leisuze should- stimulate indulgence in such wasteful and inhumane practices. No primate charters more blithely ihrm does the “smrs- man’ when he prates of his ptis- slonnte fondness for all liwng crea- titres: his record is a manifestation of unremitting cruelty. '

PORT OF RANGOON

In a report lsaied by the Port Commissioners of Rangoon it 1s slaved that recent tests have dis- closed that, provided the present system of dredging is continued, there is little danger of the Ran- goon River sllting up to an extent that would influence the prosperity of Burma's capital. It is disclosed also that should an intensification of the dredging operations be un- dcrtaken the com woufd far exceed that which the results would justify.

The Port Commissioners’ remarks also disclose a financial situation sufficiently satisfactory to promise an early beginning with a. pro- gramme of reconstruction and im-

provement which has long been un- ‘der consideration. The plans to which the Commissioners have ac- lcorded their general approval con- template the expenditure of nearly Rs. 2 crorea manly on the recon-

struction of the wharves. pontoons -

and jettles. and the work, which iwlll greatly facfltatc the handling of traffic. will take about'l5 years incomplete. .

It is proof of the commissioners’ confidence ln the continuance of the recent improvement in trade that they mfpect to be able to fin- ance this big improvement pro- gramme without any increase of port charges and without removing existing rebates to various classes M iaffin.

A HEAVY MONSOON

Present indications are that cer- tain parts of Burma. are to have an excessive or even a record mon- soon. Rangoon, the capital of the country, has received 10 inches more than the average. There is still fully a fortnight of the monsoonseason b0 go and unless dry weather pre- vails Rangooifs rainfall wi.l be al- most equal to the record of i913 when over 143 inches fell in some- thing like four months. The effect on the paddy crop is likely to be beneficial excepting in those dis- tricts where flooding had accounted for much damage to propelty 811d growing crops.

BURMA’S POLICE FORCE

The achievements of the Burma Police Force during 19115, according to the Report for that year, more than sustain the traditions that have been set. up. It is remarked that tho confidence of the public is essential, and that this is best obtained by courtesy and general ivillingness to assist: every endeav- our is made to inculcate these D1111- ciples at all police training schools. The sporting activities fostered by the police do much to secure the creation of a fine spirit. ,

During 1935 a high level of con- duct and discipline was maintained. Another feature of interest in the report is the reference to the popu- lar idea that in CYIIIIIDBI cases the best line of defence is to make al- legations against the police. Little can be dune in such cares except‘ to disprove the alegations, which is usually a tedious affair entailing not. a little distress not only to the 1n- dividuiil accused but also to his superior officers. To suggest a rem- edy for this state of affaiis would be reckless. It should however be borne in mind that the man who docs 111s duty is never a popular mun, and counter - nilegulions against the police srioufa therefore be entertained with the greatest re- serve compatibc with justice.

CRIME

Burma's bald name for crime re- mains, according to official reports issued by the police recently. The report says:-A committee was held in 1927 under the CIIELIYIIIBIISIIIP of a learned Judge of the High Court. to investigate the causes ol the fre- quent murders which occur in B111"- ma, and every attempt has becn made to find a remedy, but without avail. The police can do nothing to prevent murder or grievous hurl. cases—and the difference between the two in Burma is often merely fortuitous. The progress of civiliza- tion may effect a reduction of this deplorable offence, but for some ln- explicable reason offences against the person have shown a tendency to increase during the last tweuﬂ years, whilst offences against pro- perty show a decrease. I have llttl. doubt that in rural areas this is due to a feeling of unrest as a re. suit of the “Yeakening of Govern- ment authority caused by mischiev- ous propaganda.

GIRLS‘ PHYSICAL EDUCATION Purdah. or the seclusion of wom- en. has no vogue in Burma, yet

Burmese girls and girls of other na- tionalities in Burma have until re- cent years been backward 1n games and physical recreation. Anyone who remembers the young school girl of even the best schools in Bur- ma twenty years ago will realise the transformation that has taken place in dress and in physical exercise within that period. School uniforms or gym dress, were not thought of, compusory games were unthinkable, and certainly no girl would play unless compelled to. Even the boys in a well-known school in Upper Burma had almost w be dragged to the football field and were punish- ed if they did not play once a week.

There were no Girl Guides in those days. A good deal of credit for the present. interest in girls’ games and exercise generally is due w the pioneers of the Guide movement in Burma. 'As for Burmese girls games and exercises were almost out of the question. what with the hampering effect of the Ioongyi (Burmese skirt) and with the feeling. cor- responding to that of the Victorians. that a woman should be well wrap- ped up from neck to toes.

SUGARCANE GROWING A meeting or sugarcane cultiva.

tors and officials of the 'I‘hal0i. District was held last month on 1.111

‘premises of the New Burma Amril

Sugar Mills Ltd, Hninpaie. Ques-

tions confronting the sugar indus-

try, chiefly the supply of cane, wen

discussed. Mr. Maneklal Oza, in

welcoming the gathering, said:

“I do not understand why we

cannot produce better cane and on an intensive basis. Java. has been producing 50 tons of sugarcane foi every acre of land, whereas you are producing 24 1-2 tons per acre only. If intensive farming is adopt- ed you can within a few years pro- duce the same quantity of sugar- cane as in Java. This intensive farm- ing would give you better returns If therefore cultivutors and manu- facturers join hands, the day ls not far when Burma wohid also QSIJBD- lish its rank among the sugar-pro- ducing counti-igs of the world. Bu! this is not. eno gh. In the sugar in- dustry the importance of cheap ant quick transport. is very great.”
