how many the island can handle."
The "humaniacs, " as some Aleuts call the
preservationists, concede that seals die most
quickly and with the least trauma when
killed b . stunning and sticking. But they
object to the harvest on grounds of unnec-
essary killing and the high cost to the
government of the Pribilof program. The
federal overnment spends 5.3 million dol-
lars a y. ar-75 percent of Pribilof income.
Walte : Kirkness. director of the Pribilof
Islands Program for the National Marine
Fisheri . Service. ffers a rebuttal. "If we
halt se: . ng, it wo :Id lead to abrogation of
the tre :: . As ares :: It. we could easily see the
return free-for-all slaughter of seals at sea
withou any inter ational controls at all.
That would be de: : stating to the seals."
Mik: Zacharo: had an even more basic
object: 1: "Instead of worrying about seals.

not wo y about an honest-to-goodness en-
danger: i species-the Aleut people?"
Since the Russians first gained sway over
New Da; for Alaska's Pribilof Islanders
Alaska, Aleuts have decreased from an esti-
mated 20,000 to a mere 3,200. White man's
diseases wiped out many. So did a Russian
disregard for native lives.
Under U. S. administration, a repressive
bureaucracy brought little progress until, in
1971, the federal government settled aborig-
inal claims for land and compensation and
gave Alaska's Aleuts, Eskimos, and Indians
a means to control their lot. The settlement
established profit-making corporations for
each native village and region, with every
villager a shareholder. For St. Paul's Tan-
adgusix, the chief profit makers are hotels
and a restaurant.
Islanders won a reprieve for sealing when
Congress extended the fur seal treaty
through 1984. They were helped by the Sier-
ra Club and National Audubon Society.
which supported the treaty and looked upon
it as a hallmark of wildlife conservation and
management.
But a new threat to the islanders' econom-
ic well-being has suddenly loomed.
"It's called Reaganomics," said Agafon

seals follow two migration routes,
to California and Japan In the spring
70 percer.t of the world population of
1.4 million fur seals congregates on the
Pribilofs to breed. The uninhabited
