HEARINGS ARE BEGUN
ON ENEMY TRADING ACT
Patent Law Association Representa-.
tives and Others Suggest
Changes in Measure.

Hearings on the trading with the
enemy act opened today before a sub
committee of the Senate commerce COM
mittee. Thomas B. Robertson. president:
l.. 8. Bacon. chairman Of the law and
rules committee, and Francis NJ. Phelps.
all representing the American Patent Law
Association. made recommendations re-
lating to proposed legislation affecting
the institution Of suits on patents by
enemy aliens. Other witnesses were
Charles Warren, assistant attorney gem
eral. and J. G. Boston. representing the
New York Stock Transfer Association.
Mr.. Bacon suggested that the pending
bill be amended so that the fees paid
by an enemy for the filing of an appli-
cation for letters patent or for registra-
ton of trade mark or copyright shall
go to American attorneys. He also ad-
vocated the elimination of the section
which would permit an enemy to prose-
cute suits against any person other
than a licensee under the act, in an
effort to enjoin alleged patent infringe
ments.
Mr.. Boston said that as the bill now
stands all payments of money or de-
liveries of property made since the war
began or hereafter to citizens of the
United States on accounts of an enemy
are void, although the Secretary of
Commerce is given power to license
such transa ctions in the future. Mr..
Boston said it was the opinion of mem
berS of the organization he represents
that the Secretary of Commerce should
have power to approve transactions
made prior to the passage of the bill.
The bill is patterned after Great
Rritain's trading with heenemy act.
Its chief features are prohibitions
against business intercourse with any
country with which the United States
is at war. or it's allies. except under
license, and provisions for govern
mental seizure of the property of alien
enemies and enemy patents.
