If the situation is as Mr. Arnold describes it, the | immediate question is why the government has not| already acted, rather than merely at this stage of the proceedings telling a Senate committee about it as {an argument for legislation against patent abuses The government has the power—as has been dem- onstrated—to take over the screw fastener factory,| |and thereupon assume the responsibility for licensing | ! other manufacturers if the one factory cannot pro- duce the item in the number required for the war program. | It would be well to know more about this in- | stance.
