Aid in relieving the unemployment

Commissioner Robertson in an inter-

dustries which would employ men
are being delayed because, their pro-
moters will not go forward with the

patent situation is favorable to the
new project. At the present time the
patent office has over 10000 cases
awaiting action. In some branches
it is over eleven months after an
application for patent is filed before
the invention can be reached for con-
sideratlon, and in the meantime the
factories stand idle.
The cause of this delay is lack of
a sufficient force in the patent Office.

its rapidly increasing work with an

Ambassador Warren Talks of

Dinner.

TOXIC. September 29.-The coming
Washington conference. said Charles
B. Warren. the American ambassador,
in speaking at a dinner given in his
honor by the American-Japan So
ciety last night, would be a confer
ence by common consent among SOW
ereign states-a conference upon
which the United States was not
seeking to impose it's will.
1.-The President" said Ambassador
Warren. 'is rather seeking a frank
discussion with a view to bringing
about as a concrete result a declara-
ton of principles by the nations par
ticipating. which in their practical
application will prevent a clash of
conflicting interests and remove the
causes for armament.
Would Remove Reasons.
THE way to bring about the per-
manent limitation of armament" con-
tinued the ambassador. "is perma-
nently to remove the reasons for
armament. 1t will not do to meet
and say they must limit armament
and preserve peace. There should
emerge from the conference a con-
crete basis for limiting armament"
1t would seem. said Mr.. Warren,
that the conference would furnish op-
portunity for a declaration Of princi-
pies with regard to the problems of
the Pacific. insurinE the development
Of the legitimate national interests of
all the Pacific powers and lead to a
path Of cooperation in friendly COM
merce. The nations. he said, require
relief from the burdens of excessive
ornaments and the re-establishment
of stability so that they can work out
their serious internal problems.
The nations about the Pacific are
seeking an uninterrupted f1ow of COM
merce, the ties OF which should grow
increasingly stronger" the ambassa-
dor said. until finally comes that mu-
tual understanding which alone is the
foundation of continued peace"
The ambassador emphasized the ne
cessity for repairing the ravages of
war by adjusting international rela-
tions so as to permit the streams of
commerce to flow freely.
