APPROVAL OF
TREATIES IS
DEADL0(kED
Ratification BIoeke d Be-
tween Allied Nations,
German States
By ARTHUR GAYSHON

LONDON, Aug. 27-lR-A British
Foreign Office spokesman said today
a state of deadlock" had developed
among the four leading Allied IA
lions and the five European States
which fought alongside Germany
over formal ratification of peace
treaties.
He said Bulgaria, Finland. Hun
gary and Rumania were ready to
deposit their instruments of ratifi-
cation and that the Italian Consti-
tuent Assembly had authorized its
government to do so.
The United States, Great Britain
and France have passed legislation
necessary for ratification and also
are in a position to deposit their
signed and sealed documents. Russia
has not.
The spokesman said two factors
still prevented the ending of the
state of war between the Allies and
the former enemy States.
The first was that Russia propos-
ed recently that the Allies withhold
deposit of their notifications until all
five ex-enemy States ratified their
treaties. The spokesman said the
second factor was that at least two
Italian political parties, the Com
munists and Socialists, were insist
ing that the Italian government not
ratify its treaty until all The Big
-Four had done so.
Britain asked Russia to reconsider
her PROPOSAL, but has received no
ansWe-, the spokesman said.
When peace treaties become OPP
erative, the Allies will be required
to withdraw occupation troops with
in 30 days.
"As result of the deadlock, such
evacuation is not yet obligatory, !"
the spokesman said. Moreover, a
conference among the Big Four on
the future of Italian colonies is be-
ing delayed because the Russians
asked that it await ratification"

Much Coal For
Rehabilitation
Try Associated PressD

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-With
economic conditions in Europe
reported serious, Secretary of
State Marshall is hard at work to-
day trying to devise a stop
gap movement until his plan, for
the rebuilding of Europe, can be
put into effect.
Word was received here today
that the delegates at the confer
ence of the Is nations in Paris
had recommended that Europe be
supplied with 40 million tons of
lcoal in l948. 1t will require an
enormous amount, the delegates
said, to revamp the industry in
that part of Europe where the
Marshall plan will be used.
Reduced amounts of coal will
be needed between 1948 and 1851,
it was stated. with only 6 mil
lion tons required in the latter
year.
They said farther that. aided by
the Marshall plan, the nations
affected will be able to issue
sound currency by the end of
l949.

not Idl from Wnefe ne was
shot"
1t was Charles r. Brookfield,
tropical representative of the Ma
tional Audubon Societies, who
drew attention to the Key West
background of the first warden.
During his color slide exhibit on
birds at the Woman's Club last
week, Brookfield remarked that
a Key West man was the first
warden appointed after the Au-
dubon Society organized.
Young Guy Bradley of Key
West was the man. A house was
built for him in the rear of 624
Margaret street.
Bradley was d fearless young
man and refused to be intimidat-
ed by the plume hunters who
were rapidly bringing the Amer
lean and snowy egrets to the
point of extinction.
They warned him to lay Off
Plume hunting was big business,
but Bradley kept enforcing the
newly passed Federal laws
against killing the birds until
one of the plume hunters shot
him. 1t was in the year 1905
when Bradley was murdered.
His death prompted all war
denS thereafter to go in pairs and
not many more were attacked.
Young Guy Bradley gave his life
for conservation of American
birdlife. The nation in general
and Key West in particular owe
him an undying tribute.
