U-Boats and Patent Law.

To the Editor of The Star:
In connection with the recent arrival
in a port of the United States of Ger
man submarine liner, it is reported that
an American inventor contempIates
taking action against the owners of
said submarine for alleged violation of
his American patent rights. So far as
the facts in the matter have been made
public, there seems to be no question
that such an action should be doomed
to failure. For not only is 1t a recog-
nized principle in the patent laws of the
countries of the world engaged in for
eign trade that the operation of a pat
ent for an invention does not extend to
the case where an invention is employ
ed on foreign vessel. but in the
United States, although such principle
of an invention covered by an Ameri-
can patent on a foreign vessel entering
an American port is exempted from the
operation of the patent law by the de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court in. the case of Brown agt Du-
chesne, 60 U. S., 1873. which defines the
rights of such foreign vessels in the
following language:
The court is of opinion that the
rights of property and exclusive use
granted to patentee does not extend to
foreign vessel lawfully entering one
of our ports; and that the use Of such
improvement in the construction, fitting
out or equipment of such vessel. while
she is coming in or going out of port
of the United States. is not an infringe
ment of the rights of an American pat
entee, provided it was placed on her in
foreign port. and authorized by the
laws of the country to which she be-
longs
ha
any other Interpretation of the patent
law would work intolerable mischief
and would tend to strangle our inter-
national trade, for it is not conceivable
that any modernly Nequipped vessel
reaching our shores from abroad does
not carry dozens, aye hundreds of devices
constructions and expedients covered
broadly or specifically by United States
patents still in force. If all owners of
such patents could present claims to all
such vessels and force them into litiga-
ton or the preliminaries to law suits, a
system of lega1iZed chicanery would be
fostered that would not only destroy
our incoming foreign commerce, but re-
suit in reprisals on the part of foreign
countries entailing loss or great dam
age to US in foreign markets
Indeed. it would be preposterous to
assume that in enacting laws govern
ing the protection of Inventions Con-
gress intended to deprive the govern
ment of the right to freely and fully
exercise Its power of regulating COM
merce, in which the entire nation has
an interest AS stated in the above de-
cision:
THE patent laws were passed to ac-
complish different purpose. and with
an eye to a different object; and the
right to interfere in foreign intercourse,
or with foreign ships visiting our ports,
was evidently not in the mind of the
legislature. nor intended to be granted
to the patentee."

GIVE THE BABY A CHANCE.
Public Health Service Issues Bulle-
tin on Infants Care.

GIVE the baby a chance !" urges the
latest bulletin of the public health serv-
ice The bulletin then gives advice for
the preservation of infant life in the hot
summer months. 1t says:
bad air, bad milk, overcrowding, pow
erty, dirt. ignorance, heat-these combine
in summer to kill the city baby. 1t seems
as though the brunt of the cities sanitary
sins were focused on the baby.
THE baby didn't ask to come. to live
in a hot, dark, air-tight tenement, to be
fed on dirty. half-spoiled milk, to be
pestered with flies and mosquitoes. He is
not responsible for any Of these condi-
TONS and it is his right that he have
fresh air, clean surroundings and decent
food.
