HAPHAZARDNESS
New Zealand is only one of many countries where the advocates of in telligent management of wild life are opposed by various sectional interests. For example, here is some terse comment of Tony Lascelles in 'Nature Magazine' which applies as well to New Zealand as to Canada and the United States of America: "One may justly criticise the three governments ol the prairie piovinces of Canada for permitting an organisation of laymen, untutored in the art of economic biology, to interfere with the management of thcii affairs in the wildlife field. One may question their unconcern re&aidin;4 the dissemination of propaganda sub versive to the ideals of ..cienliic conservation, including an unwairanted demand i'o* inte.Hiye -veimin" control tnat lias \io plu-.e in the agenda of any constructive conservation programme. And what applies to the go-< Mmienrs of the prairie provinces of Canada applies to certain local govern.iicnh> in the United Slates."
