England, the great free trade cOun-
try of the world, has just passed a
new law which is undeniably a very
thinly disguised form Of protection.
This is the new patent law which re-
qures the manufacture of the pat
ented article in Britain, if the reason
able requirements of the pubic so
demand, on pain Of the forfeiture OF
the patent This will affect Ameri-
can trade to considerable extent, as
numbers of American inventors have
patented their inventions in Britain
and been manufacturing their goods
in the United States. Notably is this
the case in shoes manufacturing ma
chinery, in which America leads the
world. The manufacture of the parts
has been almost exclusively done in
the United States, the assembling be-
ing the only process carried on ir
Britain.
Under the new law any person con-
nected with the shoe trade can de-
mand the establishment within three
years of factory in Britain for the
manufacturing of the machinery. The
board of trade hears both sides and
if it believes a prima facie case has
been established it refers the matte,
to a special court, which investigates
thoroughly and decides whether the
needs of the trade demand the grant
ing of licenses on such terms as the
court may deem reasonable to SOM
person who will manufacture the arti
cles in the country, or demands TIE
revocation of the patent altogether.
strict Interpretation of this law would
shut out from the United Kingdom
every foreign manufactured produc
which could be made and which tn;
British preferred should DC made il
their own country. OF course i
Great Britain desires to adopt pro
tectivc tariff it has every right to d.
So but it would be much more homes
IL they did it openly instead of try
ing to do it in this fashion Plainl,
the British statesmen are finding tina
the theories of free trade do not al.
| ways work out so beautifully when pu
in practice.
