Loyal to Jugo-Slavia
Montenegrins United With Blood
Brethren by Free Choice

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Montenegro. the brave and
heroic little nation immortalized by
Tennyson, which alone Of ell the Balkan
States successfully repealed time and
time again the followers Of the cres-
cent, has, we are told. lost its "inde-
pendenee" by its people Joining their
brethren-serbs. Croats and Slovenes-
in a united Jugo-Slavin. Furthermore,
Il was stated by the delegates Of the
defunct government at the recent con-
ference in Genoa that the people are
being oppressed by the Serbians and
governed against their will.
Has Montenegro really lost her "in-
dependence II the little Italian
states OF Sicily, Tuscany, Piedmont and
Naples. prior to 1870, independent and
governed by princess. have lost their
independence" by uniting with Italy,
then, and only then. have the Monte
negrins lost theirs. They decided by
an overwhelming majority to share
with their kinsmen the glorious future
Of a united country, realizing the hope
and the aspiration Of many centuries.
The writer has recently been asked
"Who are the Montenegrins
The Montenegrins (Cernagorci) are
Serbs. pure and simple. Mr.. Gladstone
once described them as "the very
flower Of the Serbian race" After the
great disaster 10 the Serbian army at
Kossovo. June 2s. 1889, when the un-
numbered hosts Of Turks flooded the
Balkans and came TO the very gate Of
Vienna, the few Of the Serbs who sur
vived took refuge in the impregnable
mountains Of Montenegro. and there
they stood and fought for the cross,
honor and liberty and became the
guardians Of the ancient glory Of the
Serbian Empire, ever remembering the
sacrifices Of their brothers at the field
Of Kossovo. In memory Of that tragic
day the men % Montenegro have placed
on their picturesque cap a black band.

Making Woe Pay

Having screwed further conces-
sions out Of the Reparation Commits
sion che crisis in Germany passes.
Willy Trescott, in Stephen Cranes
story, always fell i'll on Friday after
noon when he was down 10 speak "a
piece" and effected a marvellous re-
covery when the school session was
over. Germany's strategy is Of
WHY'S kind.
But has Germany at last con-
quercd the crisis habitl BY no
means. Having let 90 one, she ar
ranges for a series Of others. She
asks for a moratorium not only for
the remainder Of 1922 but for 1923
and 1924. She holds herself ready
to be just as bankrupt next July as
this. War making was once Ger
many's chief national industry.
Now it seems to be bankruptcy crea-
ton. She keeps herself in prime
condition TO beat her breast and 10
trickle tears Of the largest size.
She so openly puts a dirge on her
music machine and so publicly fits a
screeching needle to the sound box
that it is amazing any are deceived.
But many apparently are. Germany
has lifted many millions from her
own taxpayers and landed their bur
den on France. So long as the crisis
business pays Of course Germany
will carry it on. So far it has paid.

Does Egg Farming Payp
the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. The following experiment In
egg farming Is submitted by novice
in the business in answer to the
above question.
In May, 1917, the experiment was
begun with two borrowed hens and
two settings Of eggs, one purchased
and one donated. The egg farm was
small lot in n country village in which
pen for the fowls was Enclosed,
about FIVE By twenty feet in size, back
Of which. facing south, was tho hen
house, about five by fourteen feet In
size. There wore never moro than
twenty-five fowls in the flock at the
beginning Of any year.
Crediting the farm" with all II pro-
duesd at market prices the account
stands as follows for the successive
years:

The German Patent Mix-Up

In the controversy over the Chem
ical Foundation too much emphasis
has been laid on motives. The orig
inators of the foundation are
accused Of having'sought to create
a monopoly in German dye patents
and of having vested that monopoly
in a small private corporation, with
practically unlimited power over
the American dye industry. The
Administration is foolishly charged
with attempting to dissolve the
foundation at the behest Of the for
mer enemy owners Of the patents.
What is the foundation, and for
what purposes was 1t organized7
After the declaration Of war against
Germany the Alien Property Custo-
dian seized 400 German patents,
covering chemical processes and
formula used by the German cartel.
These were held by the custodian
until the armistice was signed. They
were then sold outright 70 the
Chemical Foundation, with the in
tention Of preventing their ever get
ting back into the hands Of the Ger
man owners, who, through them,
had previously dominated the dye
industry in this country. The pro-
ceeds Of the sale were turned into
the alien property fund, and that
ended all claim on the patents by
German interests.
The friends Of the foundation say
that 1t is a semi-public institution,
organized on altruistic lines and not
for personal profit, and that it is
intended solely to preserve a free
use Of the dye patents to American
manufacturers. II is explained that
the foundation is obliged to issue
licenses to all applicants 6f good
standing. The only loophole to
monopoly would be a disposition on
the part Of the foundations trustees
to misuse their discretionary powers.
Criticism Of the foundation has
made a good deal Of the absolute
transfer at a nominal price Of pat
ents Of enormous value. But the
price is Of little consequence so long
as the profits of the concern are
limited TO 6 per cent on the common
stock and the distribution Of licenses
is conducted under the mandate to
give the American dye industry the
freest use of these all-important
patents.
Dismissing questions affecting the
technical legality Of the organiza-
ton Of the foundation, the question
seems to narrow down to this: Il
the foundation an fundamentally
Of public policy and not a concern
operated for gain? Has II features
comparable to the Federal Reserve
Boards? This is the nub Of an Is
sue which has been obscured by
much sidestepping and dust-raising.

year. This annoys his frugal spirit
He conveniently overlooks the fact
that the appropriations for last year
were s3l9,OOo.OOO above the appro-
priations for this year. The budget
bureau was able 10 work out a saw
ing Of s3i3,OOO,OoO, and Il was the
creation Of a Treasury surplus Of
this amount which enabled Mr..
Byrnes TO offer his popgun criticism.
II is hard 10 please everybody.
Congress seems TO have earned the
disapproval Of a great many people
by saving too much.

Savers and ScoIders

One fact stands out in the state
ments made by the chairmen of the
House and Senate Appropriations
committees. The reductions which e
Republican Congress made in the
estimates presented to it by Demo-
cratic Administration for the fiscal
years 1920, 1921 and 1922 reached
S3,S90,000,000. This sum is $780,
100000 greater than the total Of ap-
preparations for the fiscal year 1928.
Representative Byrnes, the rank
ing Democrat on the House Appro-
priations Committee, and various
Democratic newspapers may say
what they like about the purely
visionary and ethereal" character Of
the savings reported by Congress
and the budget bureau. But there
is nothing unsubstantial about this
magnificent work Of retrenchnent.
The appropriations themselves have
fallen from ss,454, 900, 900 in 1920
to 1871 100000 in 1929. There
is no illusion in this. The country's
expenditures have been brought back
from a war basis to a peace basis.
The best Mr.. Byrnes can do is TO
complain that the appropriations for
the current year are only little
less Than the expenditures for last

Walking IN the country Is hazard
Gus operation. Not hazardous In a
physical sense. The chances Of being
hit by a spinning auto are relatively
slight IL one walks on the extreme
edge Of the road and Is e good emer-
sency jumper. The danger lies not In
the prospect Of injury to the body, but
in the probability Of injury to the
spirit, to the self-respect. This is we'll
nigh unavoidable.

these characters the occupants Of pass

More Truth Than Poetry
BY James J. Montague -


Perfectly Safe
You frequently read in the
papers
OF stern Senatorial ire
How a statesman insists on en-
ploying his fists
II a colleague declares he's n
liar.
The galleries sit in n tremble
AS Democrat wearing a
frown
In the Dempseyan style takes a
step up the aisle
To knock some Republican
down.
Our reverend elderly solons
Debate in the midst Of alarms,
While the terrified chair vainly
bids them forbear
As he summons the sergeant
at arms.
When in quest for the bonus or
tariff
OF the requisite number Of
votes,
They are quick 10 affront, and
their favortte stunt
Is flying at each others
throats.
Time was when divergent opinion
Was settled by call Of the roll
Then men on the floor, though
they sometimes got sore,
Kept their tempers well under
control.
But now they arise in fury
And curse their political foes
Till the gallery wakes from its
sluufber and quakes
At the imminent prospect Of
blows.
