Representatives of Australia, New Zealand, England. Germany, South Africa, the Irish Free State, the United States, Argentina, and Norway have signed a whaling agreement providing for a nine%*months ’ close season for pelagic whaling and also absolute prohibition ofJtwhaling in certain areas. Certain species of whale and all whale calves are protected absolutely. Facts which seem scarcely credible for a country as small as New Zealand are revealed in a letter of appeal received by the organising secretary of the New Zealand Industries Fair,Christchurch, from the headmaster of a school in an isolated hamlet on the West Coast. The letter states that the writer hopes to bring about twenty children to see the fair. Most of them have never seen a train, a tramcar, a field of wheat, a reaper and binder, or even a town of any size.
