Parrot fever and ordinary ty-
phoid, pneumonia and influenza
are very similar in so far as
symptoms are concerned. Treat
ment Of the disease, however, has
baftled even the most noted ply
sicians, DR.. Cumming said.
Psittacosis has been diagnosed
as the disease in all cases report
ed so far in which a person suf-
fering from pneumonia or inf1u-
enza has failed to respond to the
usual treatment.

Wynne's report, Cumming will
communicate it's information to
his field men and to local health
officers wherever the patrons are
reported to have been sold.
These officers will be requested
to trace every bird sold by the
local retailer. All the parrots of
the infected shipment may be
killed upon discovery because of
the mysterious nature Of the dis
ease which officials fear they may
be carrying.

BY ARCH RODGERS,

LONDON, Jan. 10. = Great Bri-
tain's reply to the French memo
randum on naval armament, out
lining the British position on
important issues to come before the
five-poWer conference here, is con-
sidered the final action needed to
clear the atmosphere before the
delegates meet at st. James palace.
With the British statement, each
of the powers now has presented
its viewpoint on the problems to be
discussed, and each knows where
the others stand on the main ques-
tons.
Through these pre-conference ne
gotiations and memoranda, it is
known now that France has re-
jected Italy's plea for naval parity,
and that she wants guarantees as
to Mediterranean security.
Great Britain and the United
States appear to have reached a
working basis on which to build an
agreement for naval reduction.
Japan has shown a willingness to
put her cards on the table frankly
in an effort to arrive at the same
end.
Avoid Stand
It is noteworthy that Great Bril-
tain's reply to France stresses the
advantage to be obtained if the
powers avoid taking pre- conference
positions from which they will be
unable to withdraw later. The note
also places great emphasis upon the
moral value of previous agreements,
such as the Kellogg pact.
Great Britain sets forth six main
principles to which, the government
believes, the others should adhere.
In issuing the invitations to the
conference, the memorandum says,
ct was considered that it could not
be conducive to the success of the
conference if the various govern
ments were to intrench themselves
before the conference opens in posi-
lions based perhaps on misunder-
standings, from which they could
not recede."
No Plan Devised
'Nor does his majeSty's govern
ment refer to obligations contracted
under the covenant of the League
of Nations" the statement contin-
ues, cor to questions Of national Sc
curity. Such considerations clearly
are inherent to all disarmament ne
gotiationS, and they must be in the
mind of every nation taking part
in this conference"
No complete machinery to en-
force the various existing peace
agreements has yet been devised,
the government points out.
