Laws of Heredity Applied
Round Tip" Leaf Is
the Result

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. April >. (By
the Associated Pressl - What il
claimed to be the first plant actually
made to order, according to specifica
tions listed in advance, has been devel-
oped by Professor Edward NJ. East of
Harvard for the Connecticut Agricultural
Experiment station at New Haven. The
newt plant, known az Round Tip is a
cigar-wrapper tobacco combining, it is
claimed, the desirable qualities of sew
cral existing. varieties and none of their
defects and possessing several worth
while characteristics unknown in the
older varieties. 1t was produced by Il
scientific application of the laws of her
edity with the investigation of which
Professor East has been identified for
many years.
New varieties of plants are not partic-
cularly rare. it is said and new names
for old varieties are as common as
freckles on a red-headed boy. but in the
past, according to the Harvard biologists,
the new things in the plant world have
been more or less accidental. Crosses,
they say. have been made indiscrmi-
nately trusting to Providence that
something good would turn up; and oc-
casionally Providence has come to the
rescue.

Knox Plan Opposed.

While the Knox resolution. by which
a separate peace might have been de
clared. is still on the calendar. the French
mission will be pleased il the single effect
of its journey TO the United States is
the side-tracking of that resolution. The
withdrawal of America forces from the
Rhine would be a severe blow to France.
The French do not mind if only a garrison
of a few thousand men is maintained.
What they want is the American flag and
all that it stands for. If America can
give no affirmative aid to the allies Mt this
time as against Germany. the French
hope that at least the United States will
not take a negative attitude and thus help
Germany. The former premier will not
present concrete formulas during his visit
here. He Will only try to bring about Il
better understanding of Frances prob
lens. hoping that the moral influence of
the United States viii still be used along
side her comrades in arms and not indie
pendcntly of her associates in any sepa-
rate peace with Germany. The French
believe the association of nations or re-
vision of the league covenant will take
care of itself in due time. The problem
of the moment is allied solidarity until at
least the separation question is settled.

WASHINGTON d. c., April Rene
Viviani. former premier of France had
private conference with Senator Lodge.
Republican leader. at the latter's resi-
dence. 1t was in itself an informal chat
on foreign policies, unofficial in one sense
and official in another. 1t marked a
change from past policies and a recogni-
ton of the Importance of the United
States senate in foreign relations. Hith-
erto an official envoy, as well as all other
ambassadors or ministers, have dealt
alone with the executive branch of our
government. The experience at Paris,
when the allied governments negotiated
with President Wilson only to find that
the American senate under the constitu
ton was coordinate factor in treaty
making has taught the French a valuable
lesson They are now as anxious to make
plain the facts of the European case to
members of the senate as they are to the
executive.
AutOcracy Has Departed.
If Mr.. Wilson were President. negotia-
tionS between foreign diplomats and
members of the senate would have been
resented as an encroachment on the pre-
negatives of the executive. But while
President Harding is charged with the
responsibility of conducting the foreign
relations of the United States he. him
self, was 50 recently member of the
senate. that he does not object to q line
of informal communication being estab-
liShed between the senate and foreign
governments.
The former premier of France realizes
the difficulty of his task and the delicacy
which he must show in handling the sit
uati0n here. Some idea of the gravity of
the job ahead of him was given by the
former premier in a talk with the writer
yesterday. Mr. Niviani is not trying to
force anything upon the American gov
eminent. He isn't trying to obtain the
cancellation of the French debt. as has
been enormously reported. He isn't try
eryatlonS or conditions upon which
America would be welcomed into the
league of nations. He Is merely attempt
ing to bring about n favorable atmos-
phere in which the facts about Europe
can be examined without the passion of
party politics or the intrusion of person
alitieS. In q nut shell. he is cndeavoring
10 lift the questions of foreign policy,
which mean life and death to France.
out of the mire Of craftsmanship into which
they sank in the two years after the war
and bring the problems back into the
realm Of friendship and good feeling which
prompted America to come to the aid of
France in 1917.
The former premier himself is stu
diously avoiding any appearance of parti-
sanship. While i'm Washington. for in
stance. he calls on former President Viii
son the same day he talks with Senator
Lodge. What he is hoping to accomplish
after all is an entente between France and
the Harding administration as a whole.
Mr. Niviani doesn't speak English but
has with him some good interpreters
He is a legislator of experience and
splendid lawyer and negotiator. Twice
he has been premier of France and he Is
considered more moderate in his views on
what should be done to make Germany bel
have than are most French statesmen
today. 4
