Migratory Bird Law 



The Congress of the United States having enacted the so-called 

 Weeks-McLean Law for the protection of migratory birds, this 

 important measure became law (with the approval of the Presi- 

 dent) on March 4, 1913. 



This Commission co-operated actively and heartily with bird 

 lovers and conservationists generally in the movement which cul- 

 minated in the enactment of the Weeks-McLean Law. It was not 

 disputed that the State of JSTew York had excellent laws for the 

 protection of bird life, but the difficulty was that certain other 

 States needed to be brought up to the mark of better protection 

 for the migratory birds; and this it seemed most practicable to 

 bring about through the enactment of a general Federal statute.
