Evidence of Horde Life.
DR.. Miller finds that the evidence in
dtcates that a horde life" similar to
that of monkeys and apes today lies
somewhere in the ancestry of human
social systems which exist today and
that human social systems, together with
their defects. will be best understood
when they are interpreted as simian
horde life incompletely modified to meet
the needs Of human culture, in much
the same manner that the human body,
together with its defects, has been best
understood since it has been interpreted
as horizontal mammalian body incom-
pletely modified to meet the needs of
the upright posture"
The modification of the horde life
Of Simians. he holds, into the family
life of humans has been brought about
by the development of a socially af-
fective sentiment Of love combined with
and directed BY the growth of that
enlarged consciousness of individual
ownership in persons wives, children)
and things which must have early come
to be one of the distinctive social char
acteristics Of developing man."

LABOR CONFLICT
ALARMS GERMANY
Gigantic Disturbance Follows
Lockout of Employees in
RhineIand Iron Industry.
BY GUSTAV STOLPER,
German editor and economist.

BY Radio to The Star.
BERLIN, November l7.-The gigantic
conflict in the German iron industry
assumes steadily a more menacing form
1t now has lasted three weeks, but no.
body sees a way to end it,, for 1t has
meantime developed into political
question of first Importance.
The employers locked out quarter
of a million employees November l.
despite the fact that an arbitral iudg-
ment had been rendered and declared
binding by the minister OF labor.
The employers of the Rhenish iron
industry openly state that they justify
their reaction by declaring the arbitra-
tors decision imposed an economically
intoIerable burden on them, and that it
also is invalid for material and legal
reasons.
And now the Duisburg Labor Court
has actually declared the judgment in
valid However, an appeal has been
taken to the Supreme Labor Court and
several weeks must pass before its ver-
dict is reached.

PO|NCARE YEARNS
FOR PRIVATE LIFE
Premier Hopes to Settle Rep.
arationS Issue FirSt-May
Visit United States.
BY WILLIAM BIRD.

M Cable TO The Star
PARIS, November l7.-RaymonC
Poincare intends TO remain in power a.
french premier Cnly long enough tC
accomplish certain minimum program
which he regards as indispensable tc
Frances permanent stability. After
that it is his purpose to retire definitely
from public life.
This statement is made on the au-
tfority OF persons close to the premier
70 whom he is believed to have confided
his intentions. M. Pcincare is declared
to feel that, having been five times pre-
mier and seven years President of the
French Republic he is entitled as he
approaches his SEVENTEEN year to with
oraw and devote the remainder of his
Efe to his own affairs.
NcglectS Own Interests.
Few people realize that public Office
has cost NJ Poincare the best part of
his fortune. His fourishing law prac-
the he's been sorely neglected. All but
three years since 1912 have been de-
voted to his country and, unlike many
politicians. M. Poincsre utterly refuses
to carry on his own business while
holding Office.
Furthermore, his intense literary oc-
cup1tionS have been set aside and he
complete his History of Contemporary
French Politics"
The minimum program which NJ.
Poincarc hopes to jam through Parlia-
msnt before next Spring includes. first,
the budget second, new and final
settlement OF reparations; third, ratif1-
cation of the American and British
var debt agreements; fourth. legislation
legalizing certain monaStical orders en-
geged in foreign and colonial mission
AIRY work.
Issues Are Controversial.
Eli these questions are highly con-
troverSial and it seems certain nobody
hut M Poincare could force them down
Pariiament's throat, if, indeed he can
Go SO.
Eeparatiors and war debts, though
officially considered separate By the
American Government, are Closely
linked in the European view. Despite
N7ashingtcn'S repeated refusal to con-
sder thera IS related problems, Amer
ican officials here readily admit that
practically they cannot be separated.
Information obtained today indicates
that NJ. Po.ncare has a firm hope that
Herbert Hoover will swing to this view
particularly after the French Pariia-
nent has formally ratified the Mellon
Berenger agreement. Mr. Hoover can
do nothing subsequently to modify The
agreement without the permission of
Congress. and france will not ask for
any diminuticn Of the total debt.
POincare May Visit u. S.
But it is felt thai if the reparations
question is settled in accordance with
the present plans, fixing the sum which
Germany can pay in a relatively short
time, then America, under Mr. Hoover's
leadership, might see the advantage Of
revising the debt arrangements in the
same direction.
1t is not unlikely that. NJ Poincare
after Mr.. Hoover's Inauguration, to lay
the case before the new President.

from their unions, but there are three
kinds of unions in the Rhineland- =
Socialist, Catholic and Democratic. The
Catholics are the strongest among the
metal workers, and since they have the
main body of workers as members IN
the Rhineland. they cannot count on
support from other parts of the reich
And their strike funds already appear
exhausted.
But behind the Catholic unions
stands the Center party, which has be-
longed to every cabinet since the re.
public was formed and which is using
its entire political strength to move the
government to support the locked-out
workers. The socialist unions would be
able to hold cut some weeks yet, but
the Socialists today head the govern
ment, and the labor minister, who i;
challenged by the employers, is also 9
Socialist. Hence. and also in view oil
communist agitation. the socialist min
listers cannot permit the workers to be
defeated.
Many Are Non -Unionists.
But only 30 to 10 per cent of all the
workers in the Rhineland are organiz-
ed. The created part of those locked
pendent on the municipalities for help
These municipalities. however. have nc
money and must seek aid from the
state. But through DR.. Stresemann
and Herr Curtius the German Peoples
party belongs to the cabinet and III
this party the decisive influence is
exercised By the iron industry. This
party already is threatening to with
draw from the government coalition il
the cabinet abandons it's neutrality
Thus the Rhineland conflict menaces
the cabinet. Nobody wants the cabinet
overthrown, for new one could not
be formed without new elections. Yet
neither of the two parties can easily
surrender.
Neither Side Can Yield.
The employers cannot give in be.
cause they began the struggle to put
an end to constant wage increases. ano
the workers cannot recede because they
cannot admit tha at decision of the
state can be set aside by powerful in
dustrial Interests. Surrender on tileii
part would also have unforeseeable con-
sequences on the workers discipline anc
