A novel subject for international negotia-
lions has been proposed by the government Of
Italy. II is contemplated to cal conven
ion of the governments OF all the countries
n Europe to secure cooperation in affording
protection to song birds. 1t is hoped that
every government can be induced to ADOPT
the law Of Austria, which makes it crime 10
rob nests either OF eggs or young birds. It is
also hoped that international arrangements
may be made SO that protection will be affor-
dtd 10 song birds under all circumstances
AS nearly all European birds migrate in the
course OF the year, it is argued that local ar
engagements are OF little use in preventing the
destruction of the little MISUNDERSTANDING
