DEDICATION HELD | AT PATENT OFFICE| New Home Formally Opened in Presence of Inventors, Lawyers and Officials. The new home of the United States { Patent Office. a unit of the $17,500,000 | Commerce Department Building, today | was formally dedicated in the presence of a score or more of this country's leading inventors and hundreds of pat- | ent law attorneys and friends of the bureau, which has been functioning for | 142 years A ‘message of greeting from President Hoover and speeches by Thomas Ewlng, president of the American Patent Law Association: Secretary of Commerce Lamont and Patent Commissioner Thomas E. Robertson featured this morning’s program of the celebration, which is being sponsored by a national committee composed of manufacturing | and scientific groups, under the leader- ship of H. H. Dykes of New York President Cites Benefits. In his message, President Hoover said “Our patont systm has been so bene- ficial in carrying out the constitutional purpese of promoting “the progress of | science and the useful arts.” that, Abraham Lincoln, classed the discovery of America, the invention of printing | and the establishment of the patent' system as three incidents in the history of the human race that were of pre- eminent consequenc Commissioner Robertson gave an in- teresting account of the history of the Patent Office and in conclusion said no | other country has shown such inventive progress as America. So many patents have been granted in this country, he said, for primary inventions—inventions that have surprised the world—"that one would conclude that we are more | inventive than citizens of other coun- | tries “That this is doubtful” he added, *“is indicated by inventions made by citizens of foreign birth. Their inven- tions were not made in their native countries but were made after their arrival in this country, the very atmos- phere created by our patent system seeming to have spurred them on to| make inventions that have made thee | known throughout the civilized world.” | Lamont Answers Critics.

Mr. Ewing recited the many difficulti>s cncountered by officials, which he said | coulds be attributed to the opposition to the patent system. Explaining this, he said: “The office grants monopolies and therefore it is to be attacked.” He attributed the cause for opposi- tion as a confusion of ideas and he pointed out that it is the function of the bureau to restrict the monopolies granted within the limits of the law “The enemies of the system who at- tack the office,” he asserted, “arc blind er thin blind Samson. They are pu ing down the temple upon thcir own heads without destroying their ene- mies." In commenting indirectly upon the vroposed general economy program of the Government to recuce the person- nel in bureaus here, Mr. Ewing d=clar-d he could not forego a plea that ths present force of the Patent Office b: not reduced. In respect to criticism duz to the office being approximately two years behind with its work, the spesker said that the bureau was making headway on its delayed research since moving into the new building “Actions are becoming prompter.” he asserted, “but th> conditions in this re- ect are far from satisfactory and drag on the utiliza- tion of inventions in stimulating busi- ness Under “Probably the Constant Attack. no bureau operating under Government,” he continued, “is SCULPTOR COMPLET] Your Opportunities ESULTS are assured this Million Dollar to" execute * your uiremente, ¢ The National Cagital Press - i AVE, 3rd and N NE.

From his personal observation run- ning over a period of 40 years. the speaker declarzd thzt almost every one who has sérved in the office has a cer- tain fezling of affection for it This, he said, was due to the fact that the work was intensely interesting “and one of the prime factors that create the interest is the fact that every man who comes there with an inven- tion believes he has attained to a point of advantage over the whole world; has created something that will prove of benefit to mankind without injuring or afllicting anvy, The disappointments are many, but in each instance the conception has come to the inventor with a_thrill.” Mr. Ewing praised the members of the examining corps, who, he said, are ex- pected to gather all the art known in any time-and clime and apply it swift- ly and accurately to all applications presented for examination. He esti- mated that each assistant examiner must examine nearly 200 patents every year. It may be doubted whether 700 men in the whole world could be found who could perform fully the task that is imposed upon the office, he declared. The Patent Law Association leader paid tribute to the late Edward Henry Knight, author of the American Mechan- ical Dictionary, as being the most re- markable man who has ever served in the office. He cited the many interna- tional honors bestowed upon Mr. Knight before he was forced to resign by the Secretary of Interior in 1878 because “his place was wanted by some one who.} doubtless measured up better to that politician's standard.” Tenure Permanent. Because of the civil service law, he declared, no such incident could be re- peated today. He pointed out that there | are 13 positions in the office to which appointments are made by the Presi- dent of the United States. Tradition, he sail, is making the tenure of these places pesmanent, to the great improve- ment of the service. In this respect Mr. Ewing cited the service of Commissioner Robertson, who has been in cffice 13 years, “enjoying the respect of the office force, the bar and of Congres: “In his service.” Mr. Ewing added, “he has broken one tradition I hope will never again obtain, namely, that a umissioner serves on an averzge of about two years. Mr. Robertson, it will be seen, has filled the place of five men, and he has accompliched more toward restoring the office to its former and better state than any five men, serv- ing in rapid succession, could have ac- complished.” This afternoon at 2 o'clock the in- ventors and patent law attorneys re- assembled at the Commerce Depart- ment Building and attended a reception in the Patent Office wing. Later this section of the building was thrown open to the public, with Commissioner Robertson and his staff acting as hosts. * Besides Mr. Robertson, the visitors were greeted by Assistant Commission- ers W.

All th need is courage to be just and abandon an insane ambition to dominate the Irish people. “That ambition has been the curse of Great Britain and this country for 750 years, and as far as we are con- cerned, there is no going back.” De Valera said that not a penny of the land annuities, which have been collected from Irish farmers for repay- ment of loans they were given to buy their land, would be paid until Great Britain proved her right to them. “1 am convinced she can never | prove this," he concluded.
