FRANKLIN D ROOSEVELT By the President: Cordell Hull *Secretary of State* 52 Stat. 1467 **FINAL ACT.** The Conference, having this day signed an Agreement for the Final Act.Regulation of Whaling, to take immediate effect, desires to add, for the consideration of the Governments represented at the Conference, the following observations:— 2. The Agreement is valid for one year and will, it is hoped, continue in force for future years, unless the Governments, or any of them, decide to the contrary. It is likely, in the opinion of the Conference, to go far towards maintaining the stock of whales, upon which the prosperity of the whaling industry depends. 3. Experience may prove, however, that further measures of conservation are necessary or desirable. The Conference desires, therefore, to suggest that certain further methods of conservation and of preventing wastage of whales should be examined by the Governments concerned without delay, and that the Governments should take the necessary measures by legislation to place themselves in a position to impose such further regulations of whaling as experience may dictate. 4. The Agreement prescribes regulations mainly of general application to whaling from factory ships and land stations alike. The most important of these regulations are those requiring the observance of close seasons, prohibiting the taking of whales of certain species already threatened with extinction, prohibiting the taking of female whales with calves or suckling whales and of whales of different species below size limits prescribed for each species, requiring full commercial use to be made of every part of every whale taken, and limiting the time within which, from the time of catching, whales must be treated in a factory ship or land station as the case may be. The purpose of these regulations is to limit the number of whales killed and to prevent the waste of whale material. 5. Certain provisions of the Agreement, however, affect only pelagic whaling, in particular those provisions which absolutely prohibit pelagic whaling for baleen whales in certain large areas of the sea. This differentiation between whaling prosecuted by means of factory ships and by means of land stations needs explanation. It has been urged that whaling as hitherto prosecuted from some land stations, especially near the equatorial zone, has been wasteful and harmful because the physiological condition of the whales taken was such that their oil yield was low and because whales were taken at these stations when they were about to throw their calves. Against this it may be argued that the raising of the size limits for various species under the Agreement will greatly restrict the catch brought to the land stations, that the land stations, not enjoying the mobility of the factory ships, are already handicapped in the pursuit of whales, and that whatever catch they take is a comparatively insignificant fraction of the total catch. The Conference recommends that the 52 Stat. 1468catch of the land stations should be carefully studied and that the Governments should consider, in the light of such study, what further regulations, if any, should be attached to whaling from land stations, either generally or in particular geographical areas. In the view of the Conference, there is a certain risk that the restrictions imposed on pelagic whaling may lead to a development of whaling from land stations, and the Governments should accordingly place them-selves in a position to check or regulate such development should it occur. 6. The Conference further recommends that the Governments should put themselves in a position to limit, if it is thought fit, the number of whale catchers that may be employed in connection with any factory ship or land station with a view to further limitation of the destruction of whales. 7. The Governments are also recommended to take powers, if they do not already possess them, to prohibit whaling entirely in any area of the sea either permanently or for a limited period. It is felt that it may be desirable, in the light of experience gained, to close permanently areas which may be proved to be calving areas, or to close from year to year selected areas of the Antarctic Ocean or elsewhere for the purpose of giving to the whales a sanctuary in which they may escape molestation. 8. The Conference also recommends that the Governments should place themselves in a position to regulate the methods of killing whales. Under existing methods of whaling, whales may be fatally injured, but lost owing to defects in the guns or harpoons in use, including the propelling and bursting charges. This involves waste of whales. It is suggested that it may prove desirable so to regulate the methods of taking whales as to ensure that, by the use of suitable explosive charges, or by the use of a harpoon electrically charged, the whale when hit may be speedily killed and wastage thus avoided. Moreover, a regulation of this character may be expected to abate something of the undoubted cruelty of present methods of whaling. 9. The Conference further recommends that the contracting Governments should take steps to prevent this Agreement and any regulations made thereunder from being defeated by the transfer of ships registered in their territories to the Flag of another Government not a party to this Agreement, and suggests that for this purpose it might be provided that the transfer of a factory ship or whale catcher from its national Flag to the Flag of any other country should be permitted only under licence of the Government. 10. The Conference believes that the regulations upon which it has agreed will certainly contribute to the maintenance of the stock of whales and to the prosperity of the whaling industry. Not all the representatives of Governments present at the Conference have been able to sign the Agreement, some of them not being authorised by their Governments in that behalf. It is hoped that all Governments represented will eventually accede to the Agreement. The Conference desires to urge upon the contracting Governments that they should use their utmost endeavours to secure the adhesion of 52 Stat. 1469such Powers as are interested in the whaling industry but were not represented at the present Conference. The Conference recognises that the purpose of the present Agreement may be defeated by the development of unregulated whaling by other countries, in which case it would be a matter for consideration whether the present Agreement should be continued in force, or whether the contracting Governments should not agree to modify their regulations to meet the situation thus created, or even to permit their nationals to pursue whaling without regulation, so that they may derive from its pursuit such benefit as may be had before the stock of whales has been reduced to a level at which whaling ceases to be remunerative. For the Conference is convinced that, unless whaling is now strictly regulated, that eventuality cannot be regarded as remote. 11. In conclusion, the Conference desires to urge that a further Conference should be held at a convenient time next year, at which the results of the forthcoming season may be studied and the question of the modification or extension of the present Agreement be considered.

In consequence thereof, Sweden is held to have satisfied the equivalent exemption provisions of Sections 212

In view of the assurances set forth in the Ministry’s note under acknowledgment, the Legation has been instructed to inform the Ministry that the American Government will not require the legalization or authentication of certificates of origin issued by competent authorities in Bulgaria, such as the Chambers of Commerce and Industry at Sofia, Plovdiv, Bourgas, Varna and Rousse, which are mentioned in the Ministry’s note referred to above. With reference to the penultimate paragraph of the Ministry’s note, the Legation has no list on file of the authorities and organizations in the United States which would be competent to issue certificates of origin, but suggests that such organizations would be the Merchants’ Association of New York and the Chambers of Commerce in the important centers of the United States.
