BIRD ONSERVATlONlsTS
ELATED OVER RATIFiCATIONS
Means Protection For Practically All
Birds That Migrate Between United
States and Canada.

Not since the Federay law for the
protection of migratory birds was
passed have wild life conservationists
been so elated as over the ratification
by the United States senate of a
treaty which provides protection for
practically all birds that migrate be-
tween this country and Canada
Inc treaty is an important supple
ment to the Federal law and provides,
in effect three principle things:
1. That no bird important to agri-
culture because of Insect destroying
prOclivities shall be shot at any time
2. That no open season on any
species of game birds snail extend for
longer perior than three and one
half months.
8. That both countries shall so re-
strict open seasons on game birds as
to prevent their being taken during
the breeding season.
The Senate'S action came as the re-
suit of a campaign waged necessarily
for nearly three years by organiza-
tions of farmers, sportsmen, bird low
ers and copservationists generally I'M
der the leadership of the American
Game Protective association of this
city, the sportsmens- national
organization. President John B.
Burnham, Of the association, who was
the directing head of the campaign,
has issued the following statement re-
Sarding the senates action:
1.-THE ratification of the treaty means
that this country now possesses the
most advanced and effective legal pro-
lection for wild life of any on the
globe. The enactment of the Fed
eral law in 1918. was the first great
step toward this end. 1t was neces-
sary, however, to supplement this with
protection for the large number of
species of valuable birds that nest in
Canada and either pass through the
United States on their southern mi
grafton or actually winter here.
THE constitutionality of the Fed
eral, which is now before the supreme
court of the United States for adju
dication, becomes more or less an
academic question, in the opinion Of
many legal authorities now that the
treaty has been ratified, as it's oper-
