to buy more for the money expended, and also to reach a wider 
public in this manner,   The Game Breeder and Sportsman now has a 
list of something over 4000 names, most of whom are directly interested 
in the more technical phases of game problems. 
 
     Of course, it would be essential (1) That that portion of the 
magazine devoted to the wild life management specialists' field be 
directly under their control and not subject to any kind of editorial 
censcoship, (2) That McAtee be the editor of this part of the 
magazine, (3) That the remaining portion of the magazine be 
clearly set off so that amy contributions therein would not become 
mistaken or confused with the contributions in the other half. 
(4) It would not doubt be advisable to change the name of the 
magazine to GAME MANAGE&I BREEDER AND SPORTSWAN. I realize that 
this drops out the idea of "wild life" as such.   Possibly there
is 
a way of working it in. 
 
     If this matter merits further consideration, and if my 
relationship to the Game Breeder and Sportsman, as a department 
editor or contributor, is of assistance in sounding them out, I 
should be happy to help.   Or if some of the apparent difficulties 
and obstacles seem to need clarif1@ation, I should be happy to 
have an opportunity to discuss them with you and your Committee. 
At any rate, I should respectfully suggest that the proposal 
should be weighed from all angles before rejection.     Personally, 
I believe an arrangement of this kind could be made, and that 
in so doing all wild life specialists would be brought more closely 
together into one camp, with resultant benefit to all. 
 
     I may add the following thought, also:   I often have disagreed 
with the Game Breeder, but to date I have never been censored or 
in any way limited from open discussion contrary to the publication's 
official policies.   We cannot even say as much for some of our 
professional journalsi   I believe, also, that wild life specialists 
and game breeders have far more in common, and will have far more 
to share in the future, than has usually been supposed. 
 
     To speed the discussion, I am taking the liberty of sending 
a copy of this letter to both Stoddard and McAtee.   A two to one 
commitment from you three gentlemen will b6 accepted by me as 
conclusively demonstrating whether or no this is a brain-storm. 
 
                             Sincerely, 
 
 
                             Wallace Grange
