spruce budworm, ‘a native of North = America. In its’ destructive stage, Mr. Nichol it is a caterpillar about an inch long, which becomes a small, brown moth after most of the damage done. It has been doing considerable harm since 1909, but seems to have developed an astonishing appetite in the last few years. Strips, Kills Trees

It feeds on the new green growth of balsam and spruce, and on the buds at the branch tips. If this food is exhausted, it will eat the old foliage. In two years it can strip and kill a tree. Forests become a tangled shambles. Road building essential to forest industry becomes difficult; economic logging operations almost impossible. Reconstruction minister C. D. Howe calls it a “national disaster.” The Canadian pulp and paper association is more specific. It thinks the spruce budworm may have destroyed pulpwood in the last 10 years sufficient to have made $8,000,000,000 worth of paper, Canada’s most- important export. In 25 years more it could alter the entire charficter of Canada’s forests, asd one of its basic industries.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27 (U. P.).=— Col. Stephen L. Nordlinger, who recently returned to the United States from French-Indo China, said yesterday that the leader of the Annamite independence movement there had told him that the Anna‘mites were “prepared to fight for independence from the French and that nothing less than coniplete independence would satisfy him.” Col. Nordlinger said that he had conferred many times with Ho Chi Minh, leader of the Annamite movement, and had found him to be a “sincere revolutionary.”

Expects Revolt in Indo-China

“He told me the natives of IndoChina have an appreciation for and customs, but that their opposition is to French colonial practices,” Nordlinger said.

“However, on the day I left for

home, Ho told me he would like to come to a peaceful agreement with the French, provided it is guaranteed by the United Nations. He said he would like for a United States commission to be sent to investi. gate conditions in Indo-China.”
