Davis, Commonwealth Director of Navigation, who has been a member of many Antarctic expedi-tions,-predicts the almost complete extinction of whales in the Antarctic within a few years, because of the unrestricted killing by Japanese fleets. “To preserve to the world the whaling grounds 28 British and Norwegian whaling companies formed an agreement to protect the industry through regulation of catches and seasons,” said Captain Davis. “The Japanese and German companies disregard this agreement.
