PATENTS PACT
REVIVAL Up To
SENATE ACTION
President Shares Step
He Could Take Alone
on German Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 17.--Presiden
Harding, in formal message to the
senate Friday asked it's advice on the
question Of revfving by executive re-
quest the patents treaty with Germany
which was ratified on February %
1909, but which automatically lapsed
with the declaration Of the existence
of state of war in 1917.
His action in this respect was con-
sidered as somewhat unusual, iuasmuch
as the president. by mere formal
request can revive, treaties which were
in existence when war was declared,
provided he makes such request within
six months of the ratification of the
treaty of peace terminating the state
of war.
Has Two Courses Open
At the White House, however. it
was explained that the president had
two courses open, for he could either
revive the patents treaty by the execu-
tive request or could negotiate an en-
tirely new treaty covering the subject.
For this reason, it was added, he de-
sired to give the senate the same op-
portunity of advising that it would
have if an entirely, new treaty were
to be negotiated, although the longer
SICP VI LC6otiosioho vi u NV hASA.y
on patents was not expected to be
taken in this instance.
The message was received at the
senate late Friday and was Immediate
ly referred to the foreign relations
committee without it's being made
public.
The treaty, it was explained. covers
reciprocity In the matter Of the pro-
lection Of patents between the United
States and Germany and its revival,
it is understood, will automatically re-
store the status existing prior to the
declaration Of state of war.
Affects Alien Property
The reviving of the treaty, however,
is not expected by some officials to
affect Immediately German patents now
held by this country. Until congress
passes legislation covering these Ger
man patents, it is understood, the alien
property custodian intends to retain
them. Such legislation is expected to
cover the entire alien property situa-
ton.
Other treaties which existed between
the United States and Germany at the
outbreak of war, it was declared. would
be capable of being revived through
procedure similar to that in the case
of patents treaty, but it was not indi-
Gated whether President Harding con-
templated taking such action in these
other cases.
