SEEMS GOOD BUSINESS IDEA
Proposed Commercial Register for HoI-
land Has Powerful Support In
Industrial Circles.

A law TO establish commercial reg
lister In Holland has been introduced IN
the states general. according to dis
patch from L. l.. Edwards, CONNER
cial attache Of The Hague. 1t is re-
ported to have the support OF mem
bers Of the government, of high legal
critics and Of important business in
terests generally. This is said TO be
the elimination of movement started
20 years ago for the passage Of such
law.
One OF the most important features
OF the proposed law is thatit forbids
the use Of precisely the same name
by more than one concern within
given districts, 1t also provides that
In each given district there shall be
maintained a public register In which
would be given the name, age and
domlclle Of each member OF firm. as
well as the extent TO which each one
might be held legally liable for its
obligations. II also would make Illegal
