Conspiracies to defraud the government aro never reported to congress by the conspira tors in advance. No, President Hard ing has directed the present alien property custodian to demand a re turn of these patents from the ment. The president has committed Chemlca) foundation to the govern himsolf to the doctrine that this sale wan a violation of a trust. This is a mistaken theory of law for tho title to the property was vested absolutely in the government and the alien prop erty custodian was not the trustee for the German owners." NEW YORK. July 24.
