Brought on the direct orders of President Harding fifteen months ago, after the Chemical Founda- had refused to comiply with a formal demand for the return of the pat- ents, the suit was regarded by De- partment of Justice officials as one of the most important instituted in a number of years. Its trial last summer consumed ecight weeks and another week was spent in argu- ment by counsel, this being supple- mented by voluminous briefs. bination, scheme and co of the dye and chemical in: dusu’y to bring about the sale was charged by the government, Judge Morris held that efforts to prove this had “failed utterly, despite “the generality of the allega- tions and the unlimited opportunity afforded the plaintiff to support them by evidence.” Judge Morris also held that “in the darkest hours of the war” Congress had purposely con- ferred upon President Wilson, acting through his agents, power to dispose of certain classes of enemy propert including dye and chemical paten “in the public interest,’ and he la down the broad general principle that if the executive officers upoh whom Congress conferred the authority for disposal of enemy property acted within the scope of their powers their acts were not subject to “ju- dicial nullification and review.’ Failed to Find Deception.
