OPPOSEENAGTHENT OF DL NEASURE Engineers Say Senator’s Patent Infringement Bill Would Halt Inventions. Opposition to Senator Dill's proposed Jaw on patent infringement suits is ex- pressed in a report of the American Engineering Council’s patent committee on the grounds that enactment of the pending measure would result in unwil- ligness of industry to accept new ideas. losses to the public and discouragement of American inventive genius. This report was presented today to the administrative board of the engi- neering council at the opening of a two- day session at the Mayflower Hotel by E. J. Prindle, chairman of the patent committee. According to the report, the Dill bill aims to provide safeguards in infringe- ment suits against acts in restraint trade or in violation of the anti-trus laws and the Clayton act. Committee’s View Outlined. “The American patent system,” the committee asserts, “has been the primary cause enabling the United States to become the foremost of the nations in inventing, manufacture and agriculture, and nothing should be to weaken the incentive to produce in- ventions, As it is today, the path of the inventor bristles with obstacles and difficulties too numerous to mention. ““After long research, when applying for his patent, he may find he is not the first to produce the invention, or, if he is the first, that he must still go through a long and expensive interference con- test in the Patent Office to establish that fact. Further Objections Listed. “When it is sought to enforce his patent against infringement his patent may be invalidated by some fittle known and unpublished use by others or by some obscure publication of the inven- tion. The life of the patent is often insufficient to enable a return adequate to compensate for the effort and hazards involved.” 4 Extension of the benefits of patent rights to horticultural workers, thereby protecting discoverers of new varieties of plants and securing to the public the results of fresh enterprise in a fleld closely related to the Natjon's agricul- ture, is also recommended by the com- mittee. Provision for such plant patents is contained in pending legislation in- troduced by Senator Townsend of Delaware and Representative Purnell of Indiana. The engineers also will act upon numerous other committee reports mak- ing recommendations as to Federal legislation concerning airports, flood control, power, communications, a na- tional system of express motorways, acquisition of the New York State barge canal by the Federal Govern- ment, immigration, mobilization of forces in time of war, rivers and harbors, regulation of motor transportation in interstate and foreign commerce and inland waterways.

RELATIONS Dr. Varela Reviews Century of Peaceful Intercourse in Radio Speech. Dr. Jacoga Varela, Minister from Uruguay to the United States, reviewed a century of peaceful relations between his conutry and this Nation in a radio address yesterday over the Columbia Broadcasting System, commemorating the hundredth anniversary of the South American republic’s independence. Dr. James Brown Scott, president of the American Institute of International Law, author and educator, introduced the diplomat. Uruguayan music was included in the program honoring the South American nation. The speaker called atention to the fact that not a single Latin American author was included in the collection of 50 books recently presented to Presi- dent Hoover to form a permanent White House library. This must be explained, he said, “by imperfect information con- cerning the admirable literature of the Latin American nations.” More money is expended annuelly in Uruguay for education than the com- bined expenses of the army and' navy, he declared, telling of the great strides recgfl.ly taken in favor of national edu- ti Screen Doors New—That Do Not Warp or Sag It’s tweed.

It our frontiers were threat- ened, there would be gathered one human mass—nay, & thunderbolt— launched against any and all comers.” The Fascist cheer thundered from the listeners, and the premier turned to address them directly. “Before our revolution you mot only had hunger tor bread, but for g{‘ory.
