- Letter: acknowledging his letter of Feb. 18 [indexed above]. States that the Department is in accord with the principles of conservation but expects that some leniency would be granted in cases where game was actually required to prevent suffering. Acknowledges that the present case ([name of Golden Lake Band member's] killing of seven deer) constitutes an abuse. States that in Taylor's letter to the Indian Agent he makes reference to the Treaty of 1923; presumably referring to the Chippewas and Mississaugas Treaties of that year. States that these Treaties related to compensation to the Chippewas of Christian Island. Georgina Island, and Rama, and the Mississaugas of Rice Lake, Mud Lake, Scugog, and Alnwick in respect to their hunting territories described therein. States that the application of the treaties is restricted to particular bands and particular areas. Advises that he merely mentions this as Taylor's comments would imply that the treaties were of general application to all Indians and all areas south of the French and Mattawa Rivers, which is not the case. He adds that he is not suggesting that any Indians south of the French and Mattawa Rivers are not subject to the game laws in the same manner as other people
