nuisance. 1t is always open season
on the English sparrow.
Large numbers of bluebirds are
here this winter. They may be dis.
tinguished by their color, deer
gray-bIue shading into pale pink
over the breast. These birds are
noted for their beautiful song, as
we'll as their gentle disposition The
disposition however, is unfortunate
for it makes is possible for boys
with.aBB guns to catch them unsus-
pecting and kill them. The cher
complaint to the police and schools
in Douglas has been due to the
finding Of large numbers of these
hluebirds dead, in the park and III
the streets.
While, collecting data for this ar
ticle the reporter found IS CT these
birds dead with BB shot and several
painfully wounded. The birds, It
seems, do not die when hit out flut'
ter away to drop dead after hours
of suffering.
When making an appeal to civic
organizations in Douglas the women
interested in this matter stated that
they believed parents would cooper
ate in helping them to preserve these
birds.
IN visiting several people who
were keeping bird registers for the
tiny visitors it was found the, num-
ber of birds coming here each win
ter is dropping off One woman sald
that birds left after Christmas, wheN
air rifles given as Christmas pres
ents were most in use
The law in this state is especially
severe in the matter of killing birds.

BUSINESS REJECTS
SOVIET HELP PLAN
Pierson Opposes Ivy l.. Lee
Idea to Establish b.
reau in Moscow.

A suggestion OF Ivy l.. Lee OF New
York that the United States Chamber
of Commerce establish a bureau in
Moscow TO advise American business
and the Russian government on trade,
etc, was emphatically rejected by
Lewis K. PierSon. president of the
chamber. yesterday. In a letter to
Mr.. Lee he said:
I'VE have received your letter sug-
costing that the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States establish
a. bureau in Moscow for the purpose
of advising both American business
and the Russian government regard
ing the development of business with
the American people.
The executive committee of the
National Chamber instructs me to adj
wise you that in its opinion nothing
but propaganda harmful to our
country would result from such a
move.
Business Resents "Insinuation"
your very full letter clearly states
that all Russian trade. import and
export, is not with individuals as in
countries where liberty prevails, but
is under the absolute, autocratic con-
troll of a small communistic group.
Since our own government has wisely
refused to recognize the Soviet regime
your suggestion amounts to asking the
representatives of American business
in effect 10 repudiate the position of
the representatives of the American
people.
THE National Chamber by official
action Of its member organizations
unanimously indorses the action of our
Government. And we resent the inn
plication in your letter that for com
mercial gain American business recog-
nize, even to this extent. the Soviet
regime which by the announcements
Of its leaders and by it's deeds has
proved to be one of continuous
tyranny, bad faith. confscation of
property, and denial of individual
rights.
Expression OF Sympathy.
I'VE do not believe that it is pos
sible to bring the Russian people back
to normal conditions through trade
relations as long as they are under the
complete control of such insincere, UNI
repentant and misguided rulers as
those who in the last 10 years have
degraded the character and lowered
the living standards of 140 millions of
people.
1T is hardly necessary to dwell on
the sympathy Of American business
for the Russian people in the trials
forced upon them by their present
rulers. Our Government, our business
men, in fact our whole people, gave
practical expression of that sympathy
in their aid and service in saving 20
million of Russian people from starva-
ton under the Soviet regime.
Nor can the National Chamber for
get the recent unfortunate experiences
of other countries in dealing with the
Soviets, whose every effort, short of
open war, has been to overthrow the
governments of those countries. 1t
cannot, therefore. ask American bust
ness to trade with a political group,
whose system is that of selling for
cash or it's equivalent and buying
with little cash and large credit in
order TO provide funds to finance
propaganda designed to overturn ex-
listing governments and to maintain
its grip on helpless millions of its own
people.
Trade relations prosper only when
founded on mutual good faith and

integrity and no such foundation ex
lists today in the whole Soviet record
of reputation, Of conflicting and con-
fisontory edicts, of bad faith, and mis-
representations in international rela-
lions and in the treatment of their own
people,
The National Chamber is heartily
in accord with the policy of the
American Government and it is our
belief that no good and much harm
will come from suggestions such as
yours based upon either lack of knowl-
edge of the facts or a misjudgment
of the ethics of American business.
The motto of the National Chamber
is that if it is not for the public good
it is not for the good of business.
American business is certain that
recognition of the Soviet regime, how
ever skilfully disguised, is not for the
public good

ecuted by Hans Schuler, a Baltimore
by William Gordon Beecher of the
same city. This design was tentative
ly approved by the commission, and
the entire commission four years ago
visited Baltimore to inspect full size
model in wood and plaster. This model,
with certain minor changes, was ap-
proved and stands today as the final
conception of the Buchanan memorial.
The plaster cast of the figure of
President Buchanan, of heroic size,
with the figure seated in chair, lies
in the atelier of the sculptor in Balti-
more. awaiting casting in bronze. In
the meantime work on two life size
figures in granite to flank the wings
of the surrounding granite wall, is
moving to completion in Mr.. Schuler's
studio.
Lawrason Riggs, the sole survivor
of the three original executors of Mrs.
Johnson's will, said today he is pre-
pared to rush work on the memorial
to completion as soon as he receives
word from the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission that grad
ing is to be begun in preparation for
placement of the memorial. Just how
much money remains in the Johnson
bequest he does not know, declaring
that Mrs. Johnson apparently consid-
cred 100000 ample to complete the en-
fitire conception, but that since the
war prices of material and expert ad.
vice have risen to new levels.
