Poincare's Program

Poincare's first speech in the
Chamber Of Deputies rciterates the
policy already pretty we'll defined in
the speeches and articles in which
the Premier attacked BRAND. The
new ministry will stand for treaty
enforcement, and especially against
notifications of it made for the pur-
pose of relieving and rehabilitating
Germany.
Repalatlon comes first in the
French mind. On this Poincare is
uncompromising. If Germany should
default on her obligations, he said.
France, after consulting with the
keparation Commission, would have
TO consider measures TO enforce full
fllmcnt, including control of Ger
many's budget, her currency issues
and her exports. He also favored
the execution of the treaty provi-
sions for German disarmament and
the punishment Of the German war
criminals. Until these sections of
me treaty are enforced. he held, the
Allies might we'll decide that the
> period for the evacuation of the
Rhine provinces had not begun to
,un.
AS to the Cannes conference. he
takes the position that treaty revision
should not be discussed there and
repeated his recent statement that
an essential condition to general eco
nomic reorganization in Europe is
the restoration Of the devastated re-
gions-especially in those countries
which were attacked first by Ger
many-Belgium and France.
I'VE ask nothing but payment of
what is due us" is the keynote of
the new French policy. AS the Pre-
micr noted the other day. the moral
side of his policy will be emphasized.
There stands the treaty. There also
stands an unrepcntant, obstructive
Germany, clamoring for penalty re-
missions. What choice is to be made
by those who imposed the treaty on
Germany? Is Germany to be pre-
fcrrcd to France? If so, why? /
The first step toward an economic
settlement in Europe is security for
France. She has the first claim.
Gcrmany's and Russia's claims GER
Lsinly come later. Poincare thus has
reduced the problem to it's simplest
Terms. He has stated clearly view
% which the French people have
gradually been coming after many
uckless experiments at treaty modi-
l:sst!on; ssIor. France takes stand def

The Selden Patent
Application Delayed at the Instance
Of the Inventor


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: notice remark in your paper
this morning which feel sure you will
correct when you appreciate the mad =
vcrtcnt injustice which you have done.
In an article on tho death Of George
Sclden tho United States Patent Office
was referred to as "thc great circumlo.
cution Office" on account of the great
delay in the prosecution of Mr.. Seldcn's
application. The writer has been an
examiner in the Patent Office and now
practices before it, and consequently
feels that he cannot let that slur pass
uncorrccted.
An examination Of the record will
show that the application referred TO
was deliberately delayed by the invent
or in spite Of the Patent Office and not
by the Office. When the Commissioner
attempted to put an end to the delay
the inventor resorted to the Court Of
Appeals of the District of Columbia,
which held that the inventor had the
legal right tc delay in spite of the cf-
forts of the Commissioner. 1t was
clearly the intention Of the inventor to
hold his case in the Office until the in
dustry had developed without the benefit
OF his invention and then levy tribute
on an industry to whose growth he had
not contributed. Under the law the
Commissioner is mparativcly power
less.
The fault lies with the statutes. These
have been somewhat amended since the
fling of the Seldcn application, and by
recent decisions the Commissioner is
given somewhat greater powers, but the
same essential condition exists to-day.
The whole fault lies in the fact that
the general public does not appreciate
how intimately the Patent Office affects
Its daily life, for there is scarcely an
article which we eat or wear that is
not paying latent tribute either d.
rectly or indirectly. The result is
that the Patent Once and the natont
law arc neglected. The Patent Office.
so TAR from being an inefficient instru-
ment, is. considering the handicaps
which are placed upon it, remarkably
efficient.
The work OF the examiners is at least
AS exactlng 5 that Of United States
Judges, for it requires for its ADEQUATE
performance thorough knowledge of
law and thorough knowledge of tech
mes. and yet they are paid at the present
time an average salary Of about So 900
year about the pay of a mediocre
clerk. While, under the circumstances
the work is remarl.a bly, we'll conducted
IL STANDS to reason that no adequate
service Of such difficult and resnon-
slble character can be obtained at such
price. And this is in spite Of the
tact that the Patent Office makes q
handsome profit for the government
every year. WILLIS Z RICE

Waste Wood Worth Sayine

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In crossing on the Staten Islanc
ferry one passes frequently long tows
of scows carrying the waste products
of New York City to dumping ground:
or to disposal plants. Piled up on every
load are countlesS boxes, barrels and
crates which, if properly handled
would furnish many cold and cheer.
less tenement home with much ID
fuel.
In years past I have appealed to
various civic organizations and pre-
sented the case to newspapers without
awakening any actiyc response. 1t is
argued that the wood in these crates
is OF inferior quality, but we all know
how much warmth the blaze of the
poorest kinding gives.
1t would seem perfectly possible for
the Public Welfare Department and the
Street Cleaning Department to arrange
that all discarded boxes and crates
might be dumped in some vacant lot
designated in each ncghborhood There
the needy could 80, to break up the
crates and chop and tic in bundles the
waste wood to carry home. Or Jobs
might be offered to some of the great
army of unemployed to chop and
bundle the material, so that cheap fue1
might be available at price which
would cover the cost of the labor.

carried out successfully in Western

The Devils Due
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Why blame prohibition for the
murders and other crimes committed
by those who drink the bad whisky
of the day? Have you never heard of
crimes and killings in the pre-prohi-
biton days done by good" whisky:
This rot printed so often about
crimes committed by rotten liquor to-
day makes those who know what liquor
did in oldcn days smile.
Give the devil his due, but do not
ascribe it all to the bad devil; the
good devil in days gone by was a
close competitor with his bad brother.

A. NJ. NJ. only reiterates our origna
complaint We can't find any ground
for quarrel over his diagnosis. Our
only objection is that he doesn't go .

Even then there's no ground for dis

circumstances we're pathetic figure.
Here we sit, confronted by the prob
ability Of growing much older and fat
ter. but with our future .narred by
the development of cataracts on our
sense OF verse visualization. It's down
right tragic; that's what we call it.
After such confession, one natu-
rally starts in describing his symp-
toms. In an interval between spasms
of publishing the sort Of verse we do

too fond of what windows remain in

All we insist is that, to US, this doesn't
make sense. There are others that appea T.

display the extent of the ravages of

until some one decodes the above.

I've never visited the Pole
/ don't 60 anywhere
And yet it's conlforted MY SOU
To know that it was there,
The changeless axis of a world
Whose equatorial girtn
through space IS violently
whirled-
The one fixed thing on earth.
Though friendship fades, though
love grows cold,
Though even you and I
In course Of time must needs
grow old.
And, very likely. die:
The Pole. ooeying cosmic laws.
Stood there amid the snow
And ice. exactly where it was
A billion years ago.
We've often of a hero read
Whose large and lofty soul
Was always. so the author said.
AS constant as the Pole.
Which meant that in fair For
tunes smile
Or penurv's stern pinch,
In calm or storm or luck or trial.
He never budged an inch.
But now-and that's the reason
why
pen this tragic rhyme
l learn the Pole has gone awry.
It's moving all the time.
Farewell to calm, and careless
mirth,
All trust has reached its end:
There's nothing left upon the
earth
On which we may depend
Taking No Chances
No schooner in distress ever sends
out an S S vainlv now. She might
have cargo of liquor on board.
