The Agriculture Department OBJ
tanned its real start during the
time that Henry L. Ellsworth was
commissioner of patents, back in
1886. and undoubtedly to him,
more than to any one else. is due
the credit for its later formation
into a separate branch of the
Government and for its ultimately
becoming a department with a
cabinet officer at it's head.
Commissioner Ellsworth was from
Connecticut. His term of Office
as commissioner of patents from
1886 to 1845, under Presidents
Jackson. Van Buren, William
Henry Harrison. John Tyler and
James x. Polk was a long one. He
had distinguished ancestry.
When he took Office the Patent
Office had just been reorganized,
having been made a separate
bureau of the Government on
July 4. 1886. and by the same law.
the office of commissioner of
patents was created.
At this time the Patent Office
was housed in the old Blodgett
Hotel Building, on E street be-
tween Seventh and Eighth streets,
where later was erected the Post
Office Department Building. sub
sequently used as the General
Land Office. On December IS of
that year 1836) the Blodgett
Building was destroyed by fire and
all the patent models were lost in
the flames.
The Patent Office sought quar-
ters in the City Hall. now the
Court House, on Louisiana ave-
nue., and there it remained until
1840.
James M. Swank, chief clerk of
the Department of Agriculture for
some years, in 1872, said:

ernments could not 60 in for more
rearmament without endangerirg
their economies.
The Council of Foreign Minis
ters took its position on the side
OF the military men by adopting
the recommendations of the
earlier conference of the Defense
Committee at The Hague. Exact
ly what the recommendations pro-
vide in the way of ground, sea
and air forces is a highly classi-
fed military secret. But the di-
vision OF tasks under those rec
concentrations is pretty clear.
The United States and Britain
will be assigned the job of stra-
tegic bombing and naval opera
tions and the continental powers
in Europe will have to provide
the ground forces.
What this means for the United
States already has been indi-
Gated. Some substantial increase
in United States Air Force and
Navy strength is to be expected.
There is not likely to be any
overall. one-shot solution of this
conflict between the needs of the
military and the reluctance of
finance ministers. It is a ques-
ton of balance of going just as
far in the field of rearmament as
a country's finances permit. If
Europe wants defense against
Communist aggression it will have
to pay for it-but not so much
that its economy is really i'm
periled.
There is plenty of official-and
unofficial-opinion in Washing
ton that the European members
of the Atlantic pact can stand a
good bit more of military expense
than they are now bearing. with
out hurting their economies too
much.
The foreign ministers action
on the defense tions
illustrates one important phase
of the councils functions. It is
somewhat in the position of a
referee between divergent ele-
ments on our own side of the
fence.

manent committee of deputies

leaving this country for an in
definite period II not completely.
Among the farewell gifts pre-
sented to Toscanini on leaving was
a handsome book containing thou
sands of letters from listeners of
his broadcasts with the Philhar-
monic. An effort was made to
present the book to the conductor
at a rehearsal but he said he did
not have time for the little cere-
mony. So the book was given to
Mrs. Toscanini who put it with
the many souvenirs her husband
took with him to Europe. Later
it was discovered by the maestro
who. perhaps for the first time,
realized how much his concerts
over the air meant to the people.
So deep was the impression that
when approached to consider di-
recting the proposed NBC SYM
phony-Toscanini accepted. An
excellent group Of musicians was
gathered to form the new orches-
ira which was organized to supply
the growing demand for symphonic
concerts on the radio in circum-
stances where the acoustical diff
culties found in broadcasting from
concert halls would not exist. The
first program was sent over the
air on Christmas night, 1887. The
success of the series since then
has led naturally to the tour now
near to termination with the
Washington concert.
Protested Against Dictatorship.
Before returning to the United
States, Toscanini had consented
to direct the newly formed Pales-
tine Symphony Orchestra which
had been organized by the cele-
brated violinist. BroniSlaw Huber
man. He utilized this opportunity
to protest once more against the
practices of the then German gov
ernment by including on his first
program excerpts from Men,
delssohn's Midsummer Nights
Dream" which had been banned
In Germany. Two years later he
refused to return to Salzburg or
Bayreuth although in 1888 he had
been made an honorary citizen of
the latter because Your language
addresses itself to the people of
all tongues. demanding compre-
hension and receiving it. Espe-
cially in these days of perplexing
dissensions between the peoples
OF the world. is your language the
most potent medium for leading
to victory, despite all misunder-
standings, the harmonizing idea
of human dignity"
He refused his Language" even
to his own people when he found
them misled. He contributed his
bit during the war years in this
country where his concerts helped
raise money and where he agreed
to make film Hymn of the
Nations" under Government su-
pervision for distribution in foreign
lands. In it is used Verdi's limo
dele Nazioni." Very few knew
that, for a concert performance
of this work, Toscanini's changed
the original lyrics from ITALY, My
Country" to Italy, Betrayed"
The change stands in the film
version.
