Among Minnesota Legion state COM
mitteeS is one called "Fidac" headed
by H. E. Lamb of Worthington, with
Dr. N. @. MortenSen of st. Paul and
Mrs G. o. BemieS of Minneapolis as
committee members. Mrs. BemieS, a
native of France, also heads the Min
nesota Legion Auxiliary Fidac COM
mittee.
Fidac is a short title adopted from
the first letters of a French phrase
meaning federation of inter-allied
war veterans, composed of war vet
eran bodies like the American Legion,
British Legion, French Legion, etc.,
whose aim is to promote understanding
and goodwill between the nations.
Because the Fidac program is peace
promotion, including letter writing
campaigns between the children Of
various countries, the interchange of
students between European and Amer
lean universities, the annual encamp-
ments of Fidac representatives from
the American Legion and the veteran
societies of other nations Minnesota S
Legion state commander, Stafford
King of st. Paul, has asked Fidac
chairman Lamb of Worthington to ex-
partment paper, just what the Kellog
Peace treaty means.
Chairman Lamb in series of arti-
cles in the American Legionnaire is
telling Minnesota Legion and Legion
Auxiliary members exactly what the
proposed Kellog multilateral treaty
contains, how it came to be drafted,
and what it hopes to accomplish. Arti-
Gle One states that "the high con-
tracing parties solemnly declare in
the names of their respective peoples
that they condemn recourse to war for
the solution of international controv-
ersies, and renounce it as an instru-
ment of national policy in their rela-
tionS with one another"
Article Two of the Kellog treaty
sets fourth that the high contracting
parties agree that the settlement or
solution of all disputes or conflicts, of
whatever nature or origin, which may
arise among them, shall never be
sought except by pacific means" Arti-
Gle Three provides for ratification, etc.
At their state and national conven-
tions, Legion and Legion Auxiliary
members approved the principle of the
Kellog treaty, but urged adequate de-
fence of the nation Notwithstanding.

State. This does not include expendi-
lures in the form of regular salaries,
administrative improvements, refor-
eStation and similar expenses.
An effort was made in this study by
the Forest Service to get reliable
comparison between present returns
and the taxes which this land could
pay if held in private ownership On
the basis of the most liberal possible
classification, it was found that g.
600 acres, mostly in small, scattered
tracts, out of total of GAL ,042 in the
national forests of Minnesota might
be held in private ownership and pay
taxes. The remainder is of such a
character that no individual could af-
ford to hold it for any purpose other
than immediate liquidation of re-
sources through exploitation. The two
types, however, are so intermingled,
as to be inseparable from the stand
point of administration. Agricultural
land, of course, has to a great extent
been homesteaded, much of it before
the establishment of the national for
ests. The remainder has been CLASH
fed and listed so that it is available
for entry under the forest homestead
law.
Based on assessment rates applied
to similar lands in private ownership
within the counties containing nation
al forests, these $4,000 acres, capable
of paying taxes, would return $21, ,425
through this medium as against $685.
432 paid now by Uncle Sam. This
does not include the cost of protection
and administration which would have
to be taken care of out of State or
county funds in order to provide the
necessary safeguards against fire and
insects and to encourage and direct
conservation utilization.

more thrifty he becomes, the more we

the more we knock him down. None
of our taxes encourages production by
the simple process of discouraging
idleness, shiftlessness, inefficiency.
Sometimes in their lucid intervals,
Editors Harris and Metcalf of the Vir-
ginia Sun let loose of bit of philoso-
ply which appeals. The latest is ''to
Danish poison, quit buying it." Then
they go on to say: "It takes two to
make bootlegger-the seller and the
buyer. Most of the squawking during
the recent campaign about the poor
grade of liquor sold by bootleggers
came from men who buy the stuff. If
these accessories to the bootlegger
would quit buying, the moonshiner
would soon remove his poison from the

SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

NIHEN biting north winds
w sweep across crusted snow
and icicles hang from every
projecting cave; when hearth
ires blaze cheerily, and the
odOr of pine, and holly, and
laurel is everywhere; when the
larder is full of good things and
the heart is full of cheer-then
It is Christmas.
The Spirit of Christmas has
never been caught or imprisoned;
artists are at a loss whether to
portray the CHEEKY elf as a pas
;enger on Santa's sleigh, q
friend of his reindeer, or In q
glory and radiance that is an
gelic-they cannot portray 1t.
Christmas is more than Decem-
Der %. The turning Of a calen.
dar leaf cannot bring Christmas
1t is not dependent solely upon
profusion of good things-it is
not contingent upon playtime or
music or merriment. Christmas
is more than all of these. 1t is q
spirit of good will and friend,
ship. When it breezes In upon
us on Christmas eve, we feel
its inspiration and joy, and when
it passes early in the new year
we regret that 1t could not re-
main with us always.
Let us carry a bit of the
Christmas spirit with US through,
, out the year. w. d. Pen

SPECULATIVE BOND
ISSUES ARE ACTIVE
Trading Featured by Demand
for ConvertibIeS-0ther
Issues Lag.
RY CHARLES T. sPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December ia large
part of the transactions in bonds today
was In issues that have a speculative
character. These were mainly higher.
Strictly mortgage bonds were dull, and
distinguished by the widening margin
between bid and asked prices.
At this time of the year there is like
" to be liquidation by dealers who have
carried bonds along for some time and
are desirous of taking either their
profits or their losses before they make
their inventories. This is having some
effect on the present market, over
which are hanging number OF fairly
good sized blocks of corporation, mu-
nicipal and foreign government issues.
The money situation does not favor
buying by the institutions except a.
prices well under those on the list.
These conditions may be cleared up in
the next two weeks, or may continue
until definitely improved money stu
alton becomes visible between the mid
die and end of January.
Today's prices for high-grade issues
showed little change. Some OF them
were I'D a fraction; others down, de-
pending primarily on the supply. A
rise of a quarter point in United States
Liberty 3las was an unusual feature
of the Government market, which has
been heavy recently. The last issues of
4i4 per cent Treasury certificates are
both off a quarter on the bid side and
selling to yield around Az per cent.
Bolivian issues were stronger, the 6s
up y points and the unlisted Is back
to 80 after touching IS Monday. Among
the other South American bonds there
we're numerous small losses and a few
gains. italian issues were distinctly
heavy, especially the municipalS, with
City of Milan 6las at the lowest of the
year and on about 7l2 per cent basis.
Electric Power of Germany 6l2s also
touched new low for 1928. French
municipalS showed good rally.
Japanese descriptions were heavy.
The copper convertibles again led
their section of the market with Ana
conda rs up over points and Andes
rs points. International Cement IS
were quite active above los, Loews IS
gained 2Ia points and Barnsdall IS, 2
points. International Telephone 4l2s
sold fractionally above their previous
high.
The feature of the speculative rails
was the decline in Seaboard Air Line
Florida division IS of points to the
lowest of the year, which was 90 points
under the years best. This affected
the older Seaboard issues.
