figure in the labor situation to-day. IIe
has handled ii with remarkable success
80 far, and with minimum OF osten.
tation. Few people realize how many
and how serious are the threatened
strikes that the mediation OF tho Do
partment OF Labor avertS almost daily.
Mr.. Wilson is one or the most strllt-
Ing figures In the Cabinet. lie consist
entity takes position that every labor
dispute has two sides. and that the
parties on both sides arc reasonable
human beings with rights to be re-
spcctcd. Any tendency on the part OF
capital to exploit labor must be
checked: any tendency OF the part OF
labor to make unjust or unreasonable
demands must be checked as quickly.
But since We live in democracy. these
tendencies r,ust DO checked, not by an
autocratic mandate, but By appealing
TO the aforementioned reasonable quail
tiles OF both parties.
Wilson tx a clear sig htcd and plain
spoken man, not given to dealing In
terVent rhetoric. He looks facts in the
face and states his conclusions with
cool brevlty, no matter how much they
might lend themselves to oratorical Of
rect. He does not believe that capital
ana labor can alv ays live like David
and Jonathan; neither does lie believe
mat there is fundamental conflict
between them. The case has never
been put more succinctly than whom
he SAID tie interests Of the two parties
are mutual. but not identical.

German Patents and American Enterprise

German Patents and American Enterprise
M ORE than 10000 patents taken out by
AFA German and Austrian subjects in the
United States are now thrown upon tho mar
ket IN this country for such use as our people
can make Of them. The trading with the
enemy act gave the President authority to
commander these valuable assets Of our
enemies and to make them useful to this
country while the war shall last
President Wilson, acting under this au-
thority, has designated the Federal Trade
commission as the body which shall license
such applicants as may apply to manufacture
any article hitherto protected in the name Of
German or Austrian patentecs The commits
SION mas Just issued the regulations under
which licenses will be issued and invites
American ndustralists to take advantage of
the opportunities now open TO them The
regulations provide for only nominal rcstric-
lions. First, the licensec must be an Ameri-
can citizen or domestic corporation Next
he must show that he is technically eouinned
TO produce the article in question and, finally
he must agree to manufacture it for the bcnc-
tit of the public. Five per cent ROYALTY will
be collected from the licensee on tho gross
receipts from the patented article. this sum
TO be held in trust for the benefit of tho
original owner OF the patent
German inventors have protected most of
their valuable trade secrets through tho
henevolence Of the American patent laws.
Their dyestuhs, admittedly superior to any
other in the world, have been safeguardcd
thereby. The same is true of salvarsan. a
blood medicine of worldwide fame Their
substitutes for certain kinds of anaesthetics
hKe"lse have been protected by our own
laws Now these articles and all others
which may be worth while may be manufac-
tured III America. 1t would have been q
foolish policy to have longer locked these
secret processes and formulas up in the United
States Patent Office and deprived the Amcri
can people, particularly the American armv
OF such compounds as may have either com
mercal or medical value. We are led IN
wonder why seven eight months should
nave been allowed to pass before this action.
obviously so necessary. should have been
taken 1t is morally certain that Germany
has not proceeded as tendorly to nrotoct e,c,
american trade secrets as were in her keepinr
when the war began.
