Provisions Of the Biil.
The proposition OF the bill is to permit
foreigners TO take American copyright on
the same basis as American citizens in
three cases: First. when the nation of the
foreigner permits copyright to American
citizens on substantially the same basis as
its own citizens; second. when the nation !
Of the foreigner gives 70 American citizens |
copyright privileges similar to those pro |
vided for in this bill; third, when the ma |
tion of the foreigner is party to an inter. |
national agreement providing for reel. |
procity in copyright, by the terms Of which |
agreement the United States can become A |
party thereto at its pleasure. Asubsidiarv /
but important proposition Of the bill is /
that all books copyrighted under the pro
posed act shall be printed from type set
within the United States or from plates
made therefrom.
