 ECONOMIC PEACE

 Turning to the task of the imfne. diate future, AUriol said:
 aNow we must enlarge and con- solidate this vast enterprise, and we do not intend to halt on the road. Premier Mussolini was right when he said we must go from the ten1- porary to the durable. We must complete this common etfort and lead progressively to Q European and a worldwide financial and economic organization.
 ''It goes without saying that mo- body will be excluded from this ef. fort at cooperation, and 1t Is to be hoped that all great nations VIII give 1t their support.
 ''Mut it was necessary to have Q beginning, and that is why I re- joice that, our three great powers have set an example"
 In response to questions the finance minister said he was cer- tain of balancing the budget in France, but pointed out that other budgets notably those of the Uni- ted States and Belgium were not balanced.
 T must say that balanced bud- get is important, not for the ideas built upon around it but for the consequences. If too pressing de- mands are made on the capital mar ket to meet the deficits, we again will arrive at increasing interest rates and hamper private industry.
 "But the budget deficit can and should be filled by the resumption of economic activity. It is in this direction that we will bend our ef- forts. The experiment of defiation prov it was too SenselesS to try. I am certain I shall bring in a bal- anced budget"
 Auric' said he felt certain that "from an internal viewpoint, the monetary adjustment will lead to recovery of our foreign trade and French tourism."
 'Many stupid things have been said about devaluation," he added, notably that we were going to ruin the country. But the example of other nations proved the contrary"

John Bull held some elections on Mon
day. twenty-f hours before Uncle
Sans enfranchised millions trooped to
the polls. The issues involved and the
results that ensued do not approximate
the magnitude of what was at stake in
the United States, yet the outcome Of
the balloting in Great Britain is inn,
portant as foreshadowing the future
complexion of its government. It re-
veals conservatism firmly in the saddle
and indicates that labor, which cherishes
unceasing dreams of return to power,
has received significant setback.
The elections were for municipal
ofices throughout England and Wales
with the exception of the metropolitan
boroughs of London, which does not
hold local elections until next year. When
London last voted, two years ago, labor
swept into overwhelming control of the
County Council, which administers the
vast affairs Of the metropolis. The
newly installed chairman Of that in
fiuential body, Herbert Morrison, was
forthwith anointed by his followers as
predestined to lead labor back to the
feshpots of Downing Street at the next
parliamentary elections. London was
expected to set the pace for q decisive
Laborite victory In the country's other
municipal boroughs in 1885.
This weeks vote shows that 1t failed
to do so. Labor, which In 1888 won .
majority in forty-two out Of 372 city
and borough councils, has lost those
gains in numerous instances. The Con-

will be several small warbler-like birds,
which he may be inclined to put down
as sparrows Of some sort.
Could that be wood thrush yonder?
He was brown, he had white spots on
his vest" he had very thrush-lik
look, but what was he doing there so
late in the season?
Close inspection showed him shivering
constantly.
He may have been a thrush on his
way South. overtaken in the garden by
some sickness.
1t may have been his time had come.
The bird watcher seldom thinks of such
things, in connection with the happy,
fluttering creatures, they seem so alive
and healthy beyond human kind.
Yet nothing is surer than that each
bird has its day, and in the end must 90
the way of all birds. Seldom is the last
act of the tragedy among the wild birds
seen by man.
We know but one account by a COM
petent observer
The poor old thrush shivered and
shivered. One longed to run into the
garden and make him q nice warm bed
of an old sweater.
At the first step. however, he flies away.
He wants no sweater. If he cannot
supply his own heat, he is ended. He
Is child of Nature, which set up rules
and regulations in the beginning. He
lives and dies according to the rules.
Let us hope that he recovered from
his shivering fit, and winged away to
the South, where it is warmer. Evidently
he was on the way, but for some reason,
probably his illness, had not been able
to get past the frost line.
1t will be an interesting thing to see
whether the birds utilize bird houses
for shelter this Winter.
Often one sees statements to the effect
that they do. but right here let us state
that we have our doubts.
This belief, that they will seek shelter
in bird houses in the cold, is based on
the natural impression that it would be
a sensible thing for the birds to do.
II, of course, the birds were human
beings which, Of course, they decidedly
are not.
Nice little houses, snug and warm
what could be more natural than for
bird to occupy it?
More natural it is for bird to live
in the open, as long as he lives, and then
to die there.
OF all the birds we watched at feeding
stations last Winter, absolutely the only
one that obviously sought shelter. not
food. at one of these stations was the

This is wise bird. Although it cares
little for the seeds and grains usually
used in automatic feeders, it does ap-
preciate the shelter they give. if properly
installed with back TO the wind.
All the other birds have no use for
the feeders except as source Of dinner.
Some of them even snatch seed and
fly away with it to eat
Birds sleep in evergreens, and ask no
better shelter. Yet it will be source
of interest, to watch the new bird houses,
put UP last Spring, and see if any birds
use them as sleeping places. Let us say
again, we don't expect they will.

Fall is really here.
The first tuncos, or snow BIRDS favor

Half a dozen Of them were to be seen
at first light, poking around In the fallen
leaves at the rear Of the yard.
At first we thought them sparrows,
and did not pay much attention to them.
but soon saw the white and gray In
their pretty coats.
As the light increased. the identity of
the birds became certain; there could
be no doubt at all they were juncos.
Snow birds they were. just down from
the North, enjoying the comparatively
warmer cline of Maryland.
Though the Thermometer was down
to 80 degrees out our way that morning,
the charming little visitors must have
regarded 1t as warm, because they
chirped constantly as they searched for
food.
There are few prettier sights in bird
land than that of junco poised on some
feathery seed head.
This little fellow is so light that he
scarcely makes the stalk sway.
Restless, ne flies away, then returns,
only to fly away after few seconds.
The observer thinks he has gone. but
no such thing: he is merely roaming
around, looking over the possible sources
of supply.
The junco, along with the chickadee
and titmouse, is a small bird which
somehow impresses the spectator as
dainty beyond the manner of most birds.
The larger, coarser a bird, the more
1t seems to fall within the category Of
creatures which may become dirty, Ill,

1t is almost impossible to think of a
soiled hummingbird.

Similarly, the snow bird remains for
most observers one of the choice list, the
members of which are not altogether
like most birds.
1t is not a constant garden visitor
during Autumn and Winter, but is seen
from time to time only.
Often flock of them will visit yard
for one afternoon, or maybe two, but
seldom longer.

meadows, where more seeds of the type
they like are to be obtained, or they keep
on going farther South.

bends beneath the weight.
Another visitor of the week end was
the te-throated sparrow. This is an
interesting member OF a large and
famous bird family. Distinction between
the members is one of the first difficult
tasks of the amateur bird observer. He
will find it puzzling and disconcerting,
especially after he has looked over their
portraits in any good book.
Fortunately for the observer, he will
seldom have to distinguish between more
than half a dozen Of the many dozens
of sparrows, for by no means all of them,
or even the greater part Of them, will
be found in local gardens.
The English sparrow, fox sparrow.

He must look sharp to distinguish
these. He will confuse the purple finch,

Last.Minute Votes.

For the benefit of politicians, who
have done so much during the past
four months to entertain us, the voters
should voluntarily attempt to answer
for them one of the great mysteries
OF campaigns, to wit: How many votes
are changed one way or the other in
the final week before election day?
And of the votes SO changed, how many
were lost by a candidate on account
OF something he said or failed to say,
as against those lost on account of some
thing his political opponent said?
In this past election both candidates
kept up their pleas to the voters until
the very eve Of election day, and both
were reinforced by most of the speakers
on the list, possibly in the hope OF
changing votes. But is it probable that
a man who has made up his mind to
vote one way should have his mind
changed for him by a candidates words
just before he goes 10 the polling place?
The last-minute activities of the can
didateS are probably based not so much
on the hope of changing votes as
of catching those votes by men and
women who have been wavering all
through the campaign. 1t is q theory
of some politicians that an average
voter will vote-in the case of minor
ofhces-for the name that happens to
stick in his mind as he enters voting
booth. The same principle may apply
in the case of the man or woman who
is undecided until the final day and
makes a decision on the strength of
the candidate whose voice he last heard.
The classic example of st-minute
switch in votes Is which has been
attributed to the Rum, Romanism
and Rebellion" speech of Rev. DR.. Sam
uel D. Burchard, who, speaking in be.
half of Blaine, lost Blaine an estimated
$4,000 votes. Fifty thousand votes in
that contest would have given Blaine
the popular majority he lost by only
$4,000. One-tenth of that number would
have given him the electoral vote of the
State of New York. lacking which he lost
the presidency. The speech was made on
the Wednesday preceding election day in
1884 and the odds, which had been
two to one for Blaine in New York
City, switched to ten to nine for Cleve-
land. A lot of votes were changed in
the final five days of that campaign.
In the past contest the hottest issue
the social security tax-bobbed up in
the final two weeks of the campaign,
though foundations for presenting the
issue were under careful preparation for
some time. 1t may have changed some
votes but as far as the final results from
the industrial areas are concerned, the
issue turned out to be complete dud
for the Republicans and may even have
lost them votes. Nobody knows, nor will
know until the voters write their con-
fessions for the guidance of politicians
in future campaigns.

servatives, advocating retrenchment and
economy, swept Laborites out Of ONCE
right and left. Incomplete figures dis
close that Conservatives won 125 and
lost fifty seats, while labor gained
eighty-two and lost 206. Despite para
mountcy of local issues, the contest
nearly everywhere was fought on lines
which divide the parties in parliament
tary elections. An interesting sidelight
is that slum clearance projects have re-
duced at many points population from
which labor strength is normally re-
cruited
The results, therefore, are straws
showing how the wind is blowing in
British national politics. The Tory gov.
ernment, following its inept and humili-
ating conduct in the Ethiopian
conflict, had strong reason to fear that
it had lost caste with the electorate and
would be punished at the polls at the
first opportunity. Labor, which ad-
vocated q much stronger policy than
the Baldwin -Hoare-E regime pur-
sued, staked its political hopes conf
