WILD LIFE CONTROL

STATE DEPARTMENT SCHEME COMMENT ON PROPOSAL fBY TELEGRAPH—PREBS ASSOCIATION] WELLINGTON, Tuesday "This means that, by creating a new State department, control of wild life will pass from acclimatisation societies to the Government, and that the voluntary work now being done by members will become a charge on the State," said Mr. D. J. Gibbs, chairman of the council of the Wellington Wild Life Control and Acclimatisation Society, to-day. He was referring to a statement made in Invercargill by the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Hon. W. E. Parry, that all pests, from rabbits to deer, should be under the control of a national wild life department, which I should conduct research. "Of course,-licence-holders will have to pay," said Mr. Gibbs, "but there is a limit to their contributions. The balance will bo required to be found by the State. The- present system of licence-holders electing their own councils is most democratic and should be adhered to, as State administration takes away from the individual personal interest he has in wild life of the- Dominion. - "No attempt at national reforms should be made without the full consent and co-operation of all wild life control and acclimatisation societies," concluded Mr. Gibbs.
