elusively as bases for smuggling operations % ths
United States"
That international liquor smuggling has reached
enormous proportions nearly every well informed per-
son knows. In addition 20 the 225 ports where liquor
smuggling is carried on almost exclusively" there
probably are many others from which liquor ships set
sail for American waters or ports close to the American
mainland from which it Is comparatively easy to SNUG
gle contraband liquor into the United States.
DR.. Doran proposes that the foreign governments
concerned require that duly authenticated landing
certificates be produced by ship masters. showing that
liquor exported has been actually unloaded in the port
for which the vessel cleared. He continued:
"The earnest efforts Of the United States to enforce
its laws make IL not inappropriate TO suggest that
other nations cooperate with the United States to COM
bat the international Illicit traffic IN liquor"
1t may not be inappropriate" TO suggest such CO.
operation, but the weak spot in DR.. Doran's argument
is the fact that other nations hold opinions Of prohi-
biticn different from those held in the United States.
Nations that permit the manufacture, sale and
transportation Of alcoholic liquors are not much inter-
ested in helping the United States government 70 en-
force federal prohibition laws. especially when those
laws cut off a substantial revenue formerly derived
from the legitimate expectation Of wines and liquors
into the United States.
After some delicate negotiation It was announced
that the British government had agreed to assist the
United States government in stopping the flow u
liquor smuggled from British ports into the United
States. What, IL any, benefit has followed this un-
derstanding, we do not know, but the agreement did
not make a favorable impression on large numbers Of
BritOns who scott at Americas dry laws

Protecting the Wild Fowl

The plan for migratory bird refugees, approved by
the senate during the last session, promises to become
a bone Of contention when presented to the lower house
Of congress. Organization Of large land owners.
shooting clubs and others is now underway TO prevent
passage OF the Law unless ID is 10 amended that some
Of the so-called refugees are thrown open to sportsmen
who propose what might be termed private club pre-
serves.
DR.. Vim. T. Hornaday, president Of the permanent
Wild life fund, who was instrumental in getting the
measure through the senate, is opposed 70 any COM
promise. and will direct = vigorous campaign in the
lower house to prevent ~rehashins Of the bill. He has
indicated that he is totally unreceptive to the invita-
tiors from those who desire private shooting grounds
in connection with the bird sanctuaries.
The Norbeck bill. passed by the senate, providing
for establishment Of the migratory bird refugees, was
a decided victory for conservation Of bird life, and was
u.cr after seven years Of effort on the part Of friends
Of unqualified protection for migratory game birds.
These advocates gained their point when the bill went
through the senate shorn Of the shooting grounds fea-
ture, which certain shooting clubs proposed TO inject
They argued that to set up bird refugees and then 70
open them occasionally to hunters would be a tricky
way Of supplying wild fowl for sportsmen.
The Norbeck bill provides for the purchase Of large
areas where the birds may feed unmolested on their
migrations, perpetual refugees in which hunting -
forbidden. Il is a real conservation measure, and is in
support Of the migratory bird treaty which Canada Is
conscientiously carrying out. The bill authorizes an
nual appropriations OF Sis0VusVVV &c acquire suie@oA
refugees; and il lays the foundation for saving Wild
fowl that are now in desperate straits for protected
feeding grounds adapted 60 their habits.
The Lower Rio Crande Valley, often referred to as
athe sportsman's paradise" is greatly interested in the
Norbeck bill. There are vast areas Of coastal lands
and waters in South Texas admirably adapted for bird
refuRes-the natural habitat or winter feeding grounds
for almost every variety Of water fowl as we'll as other
birds. Designation Of these areas would tend not only
to improve shooting in those sections outside the
refuge ones. but would assure sport for future genera
tions, providing the proper limit Of game birds Is es-
tAblished by law and the law properly enforced.
The real sportsmen, those who deplore the annual
slaughter Of game birds, will welcome the establish
ment Of refugees, and are in accord with the opinion
Of DR.. Hornaday that when such refugees are designas-
ed they should rot be turned over to shooting clubs
and others.

The success attending the efforts Of Secretary Of
State Kellogg and Premier BRAND o. France in con-
neetion with the treaty designed to outlaw war. which
has received the approval of practically all civilized
nations, has aroused a great variety of claims as 20
whom IL deserving OF the honor Of having originated
the movement for world peace.
To Woodrow Wilson, president Of the United States
N 1918. and Lloyd George, British premier, much credit
Is due for the final naturalization Of their ambition
20 secure international recognition Of the injustice Of
resorting to war to adjust international controversies.
But TO Secretary Kellogg and Premier BRAND must 20
the honor for securing international acquiescence in
the plan.
The peace pact, signed recently at Paris. is not the
child Of the brain OF any individuals. II is merely
the cutTrowth Of a decade Of effort on the part Of
scores Of leaders and thinkers. Secretary Kellogg and
Premier BRAND were the logical men to select to bring
the proposed pact before the nations Of the world, and
the manner in which they handled the diplomatic fea-
lures has gained for them a well-earned niche in the
worlds hall OF fame.
The strength Of the new peace pact rests directly
upon the convictions and good faith Of the people
themselves. Public opinion has compelled govern
ments to take action. whereas during the days of Will
son and Lloyd George. public opinion, then obsessed
BY prejudice and suspicion, imPeded and prevented
such action. The seeds Of international peace, planted
by those great war leaders, outlived the era Of hate
and prejudice that followed the world war, and under
the skillful manipulation Of kellogg and BRAND have
born fruit.
The epoch-making treaty signed at Paris commits
the governments of the world to the Remuneration Of
war a. an instrument of policy. This means that
hereafter these governments, in their dealings with
each other, will not contemplate war. prepare for war,
or much less threaten war as q means Of securing the
success Of their contention or points Of view in any
international business or difference which may arise.
Governments will. on the contrary, act as civilized hu-
man beings act, and bring their discussions, major and
minor alike, 70 . peaceful end by establishing methods
Of diplomatic discussion. cancellation, arbitration and
judicial settlement.
In every phase the new peace treaty carries out the
policies for which President wilson fought SO strenu-
ously during the later years Of his life. the policies
the United States senate refused to endorse except In
a half-hearted manner which was more disastrous to
the cause Of peace than open hostility. However, il
must be remembered that ut that period in the worlds
history the hates and ~prejudiees aroused by the World
War were still burning fiercely. and public opinion,
which tocsy demands general ratification Of the treaty,
was opposed to what was termed "entanglins alliances"
