DAHL EIREANN PAPER
RAE, ULSTER PREMIER'S
REJECTION SPEECH

Dublin, Nov. 30-(By A. P,)-The
Irish Bulletin, the organ of the Dai
Eireann, declares that Sir James
Craig's speech rejecting the British
governments proposals for an Irish
settlement belongs not to the .wen-
tieth century, but to the days of fued
alism. The Ulster premier, however
is logical, according to the Bulletin
and is only executing the British pol
icy.
The Belfast parliament was Great
ed to destroy Irish unity" the Bulle-
tin continues, "and the speeches in
that parliament yesterday, were
merely an endeavor to carry this
purely British policy for British
purpose into effect. Peace is to be
made impossible rather than the fact
of Ireland's geographical, economic
traditional, historic and political un-
ity should be admitted.
Throughout his speech. Sir James
Craig used phrases suggesting he is
still willing to cooperate in making
peace pUSSiDle, uul the teiHIS uL Ills
cooperation are absolute-he and his
minority are to be the final judges
of what will or will not be acceptable
to Ireland. They barricade the road
to peace and the British government
assures them that removal of theii
barricades is 'unthinkable.'
/ Canada would today be either {
subject nation in revolt, or have al
ready gone over to the United States

the same attitude towards the Can.
adian minority. South Africa would
| now be an independent republic il
British forces had been placed at thu
disposal of the opponents Of self gov
ernment in that country.

those settlements, recognizing thai

questions for nations In which minor.

EX-HEAD PATENT
BUREAU SCORES
SMALL SALARIES

New York. Nov. 30.-Present condi-
tions in the United States patent Of
flee in Washington today were char
acterized as "disgracefur' and con-
stituting a blow at the vitals of our
industrial system" by Thomas Ewing
former commissioner of patents. Ad-
dressing a meeting of lawyers called
by the New York Lawyers Associa-
ton, he declared that through delay
in passing on them, $1,000 appllca-
tions for patents were lying without
attention in the Washington office
Salaries in the Office, he said, were
so small as to attract "only the raw
est youth leaving college," adding
that a majority of the examiners en-
ployed there during the last nVe
years had resigned for the reason
that salaries had been increased but
ten per cent. in 10 years.
Resolutions We're adopted advoca'-
Ing that The high character Of the
technical staff in the patent Office
be maintained and its numbers in
creased"

FATE OF LANDRU
Continued from Page One)

M. Moro-Giafferi, counsel for the de-
tense, in an eloquent plea finished his
summing UP this afternoon.
NJ. -Giafferi cast doubt on all
the evidence produced by the prosecu-
ton. He reminded the jury person
could be proclaimed legally dead only
when they had been missing 30 years.
"A white slaver-yes: an assassin
-neyer!" exclaimed NJ. Moro -Giafferi.
looking toward the juryvAnd at the
same time pointing toward Landru.
He added that the possession by the
prisoner of papers identifying his al
yleged victims corroborated th' theory
that Landru probably had sent the
women abroad with false papers in
white slave" traffic.
"These women are all alive" said
NJ Moro, ,Giafferi. referring to the 10
women Eandru was charged with kill
ing. but they are ashamed TO make
their whereabouts known. Make q
thorough search of the United States
and Brazil, Argentina and other South
American countries, and / am conf
dent you will find Landrus so-called
victims"
| Il am innocent" Landru shouted to
! the jury. This was the first time in
the 80 months since he was arrested
that the prisoner had used the word
innocent" in public. Heretofore he
! had contented himself with saying
| "Show me my guilt; make out your
case" Today, however, he was show
ing more emotion than at any time
during the trial.
! During the short address he made
| to the jury, lasting barely minute
and half Landru declared: Il have
never killed anyone; l am innocent.
