NATIONAL POLICY.
ON ACCLIMATISATION MATTERS. MINISTER’S INDICATIONS. (By Telegraph.-—Special to Standard.) WELLINGTON, April 20. Assuring a deputation of Feilding Acclimatisation Society members that, as an enthusiastic shooter, he was about tired of carrying a gun around for a walk, Hon. W. E. Parry (Minister of Internal Affairs) mentioned an important policy he will suggest to the conference of acclimatisation society delegatee he has invited to meet him oil Tuesday. They would have to rear and liberate game, for it- was impossible to keep on taking it without - better replacement. There might have to be breeding stations in each island, and a national organisation to do the job. There was an absolute need for better organisation and control of sport. The vermin question would have to be considered. A forest was not an incubator for pests. The Minister suggested that the slate be wiped clear of all former differences and that all sportsmen co-op-erate on a national policy which would include improved sporting facilities and the preservation of bush and New Zealand bird life, for the Dominion was one of the best countries in the world for game.
