Conditions That Unite
Whole Animal Kingdom

A conference of eminent scientists
recently met at the estate Of Copley
Amory, of Washington and Boston,
at Matamek, Quebec. For ten days
ecologists-that is, students Of ami
NAL life in relation to it's surround
lngs-discussed problems and find
lngs In their particular fields of
ornithology, mammology, marine biol
ogy, etc. The results Of the con-
ference were so profitable that plans
for another meeting in 1884 were
made and a committee appointed to
formulate permanent organization.
One of the points especially
stressed in the discussion was the
INTERPOLATION of the various animal
groups, including man. Fluctuations
In one species are often felt through.

out the animal kingdom. Certain
varieties are of such Importance
that they are known as key ami
mails" Mice and mice-like rodents
are "key animals" in many parts OF
the world. When mice are abundant
in the Canadian Northwest foxes,
snowy owls, wolves and bears cease
to prey on cartridges. When the
mice decline, animals turn again to
game, and Eskimos and Indians suf
fer for food. Weasels and ermina
die out in numbers when mice are
scarce and snowy owls fly south in
search of food, only to die in the
warm climate.

If any further proof of the hypocrisy OF prohibition
mere needed, activities of certain grape interests
should supply it, A company which asserts it owns
and controls 80 per cent of the output of grape prod
ucts in the United States, and which has borrowed
large sums from the federal farm board, is selling
throughout the country through circulars and sales
men. "the pure juice of California wine grapes"
Their literature amounts to open invitation to
bouseholders to make their own wine The grape in
dusry they tell you, has been organized under pro-
vision Of the farm relief laws" The product, deliv-
cred TO your home in five and ten gallon kegs, "is
l.paI but YOU must not sell transport it,
You may select muscatel, tokay, claret or other
well-known varieties
And the company will go further. Let it (the keg)
alone said its advertisement At the end Of sixty
dsys the company will call, reclaim its key and trans
fer the fruit Juice to bottles for you without extra
charge OF course by that time the fruit juice will
be wine.
The product, you told, is for home only;
not to be sold or transported from the home But its
nroper use is absolutely legal Section &c. national
nrohbition act gives you clear authority to possess
and enjoy the juice of wine grapes in your home"

CONFEDERATE CONGRESS

February 4
ION Feb. 4, 1861, delegates from
~ all the seeded states met at
Montgomery, Ala, and framed q
provisional government for the
Confederate states Of America
Montgomery was made The capital
Of the new slave-holdine republic
Jefferson Davis of MisSissippi
was elected president for six years
with Alexander H. Stephens OF
Georgia as vice-president.
An interesting fact in connection
with Stephens is that he earlier de-
nounced secession as "the height
Of madness, folly and wickedness."
In March, 1861, the Confederate
states adopted the stars and bars
as their national flag and ratified g
permanent constitution. 1t differed
from that Of the United States in a
number Of important points, -four
Of which may be mentioned here:
1. The president could not be re-
elected.
2. He could veto any appropria-
ton and at the same time approve
of any other appropriation in the
same bill.
3. All protective duties and pro-
tective bounties were prohibited.
4. Slavery was nationalized, was
protected and recognized in all new
territory which the Confederacy
might acquire.

Every time President Hoover enters the argument
about federal relief he becomes more confused and
misleading His statement Tuesday to the press re-
vealed the bankruptcy of his leadership in this
emergency.
70 insist as he is doing, that direct federal relief
for sufferers from national calamtes is un-Amerl-
can is deliberately to ignore the facts Several times
this newspaper published the long list OF federal
grants over century, for disaster victims in this
country and abroad-some of which federal appropr1a
ons like the Russian relief fund.- were requested by
Hoover himself
To repeat as he does, that the Red Cross is meet
ING the present emergency is to color the facts re-
garding widespread disease and starvation facts
proved by responsible reports by surveys Of relief
workers by statements of local officials by eyewitness
accounts of senators and congressman, and by pttu
appeals Of the sufferers themselves.
In setting the proposed federal relief over against
the Red Cross drive for $1oOooOOO the President is
attempting to create false conflict. Both the Red
Cross and federal funds are needed.
The President knows that the Red Cross has no
intention Of spending its national fund outside the
drought area that not cent will go for unemploy-
naent relief for the six million jobless and their
families.
knowing that the Red Cross has no program for
UNEMPLOYMENT relief and knowing that hundreds of
ASPOAVSN SSA0~NSS
the inadeouacy of local relief and the necessity for
federal aid how does the President repeat that
private charity is enough?
If the pending federal appropriation for $25OOooOo
< which covers unemployment as we'll as drought re-
uef-does not pass thousands of American citizens will
ssrve to death and millions Of children will be stunted
for life.
Yet the President who supported the recent federal
appropriation to feed farmers mules, argues that 1t
would be un-American for this government to feed
hungry children.
We do not believe that congress or the people viii
be turned against the great American TRADITION OF
mercy by any such partisan political appeal-even
though that misguided appeal comes from the White
tzouse and from a man whose very name once was
the symbol Of relief.
How different the Hoover who fed the Europeans
from the Hoover who refuses to aid the hungry among
his own people!
