Importance That Existing Condi-

Business men in this country, par
ticularly the members Of the Merchants
Association of New York, are planning
vigorous measures to bring about a
change In the present manner in
which American trade marks may be
disregarded In South American coun-
tries. Under existing conditions. an
American merchant may obtain trade
mark on a certain brand Of goods in
this country, but when he goes to one
Of the South American republics, he
may find that some local merchant has
registered an identical trade mark, and
the American merchant cannot send his
goods into that country.
In view Of the present movement to
increase trade between the United
States and South American countries. 1t
is deemed of vital Importance that
be done as soon as possible
to remedy the matter.
