Three Dos.n Papers
Bo far as la known the ov

llcenso for the starling of a
newspaper. The result is that
the capital now mis uireo oozen
nowspaers, which is twice as
many as it had before tlio war.
Naturally Paris can't support
so many papers, and they are
one-pax affairs. Also a noodly
number are political party or
gans and don't pay their way.
however, the government Is
ttvlns: everyone equal oppor
initios for publication.
The government Itself, by the
way, la said to have no news
paper representation.
in order to prevent abuses of
freedom of the press, the gov
ernment Is preparing a new

bevtr had before. This will
Inakt) It obligatory to disclose
to the public Die names of all
those who are backing a news
paper, so that the complexion
of the paper may be quite clear.
The law, u projected, also will
prevent the subsidising of a
newspaper by a foreign government.

more research into Just such
problems. Ilo says that over
since DDT has been available In
quantities Hint made fairly larue
scale ti-stH possible, tho scientific
workers of bin burcuu in cooper
ation with other Interested agen
cies, have been making increas
ingly comprehensive tests of
DDT in experiments that would
glvo authoritative Information
as to the effects of tho chemical
on beneficial Insects, birds, fish
and other wlldlllo.
Jin emphasizes that results
have been generally encourag
Ing. Ono of the early fears was
that DDT would destroy too
many bees, which are useful as
honey collectors and even more
valuable as pollonl.crs of many
erons. ruirllculnrly legumes and
fruit. Tests Indlcato that DDT Is
not as deadly to bees as was
feared. In work so far It has ap
peared less deadly than the ar
senical sprays now commonly
used, and there Is evidence that
beekeepers may come around
to view DDT as a promising re
lief from arsenic poisoning of
bees.
In regard to large scale use of
DDT. which iitmears tfi offer for
the first time a practical con
trol lor some forest Insects, Dr.
Annand says: "Tho occurrence
of these outbreaks in Itself is
evidence that tho beneficial In
sects, birds and other predators
have failed in holding tho popu
lation down, and that a supple
ment is needed to bring tho In
sect population moro nearly In
balance with the vegetation on
which It feeds."
Dr. Annand pointed out that
when a forest area Is almost
completely killed by such a pest
as tlio spruce budworm, the ef
fect Is a disturbance of the "bnl
anco of nature" that can be com
pared to the effects of a forest
fire. Wildlife, birds, other In
sects, and even fish aro displaced
and destroyed rather completely
by the forest fire or by the death
of most of the trees. In contrast,
fairly largo scale tests of DDT
indicate that DDT may check a
pest that is on the rampage and
thus actually restore tho bal
ance of nature that would other
wise bo destroyed. Birds, wild
life, and beneficial Insects aro
soon able to return to treated
areas, although a killing of the
trees by tho pest, If not controll
ed, might keep them out, lor
years.
