That is a single register vent system. There is one thing you can do to make it better but it can only help so much. If you have a tech enlarge the register vent to around 3mm it will improve response in the clarion. Some altos already have 3+mm vents so it won’t fix all instruments.
Other than that there isn’t much you can do. I once had a Selmer but sold it and bought a 1950 Buffet with a double register vent mechanism and I am very happy with how it plays. Some older Selmers also have the double vent mechanism, look for one with a key on the neck. Just be thankful it’s not a contrabass clarinet, I’ve played a contrabass with a single vent and it was dreadful...
