unsupported by evidence at the trial and refuted by the defense as well as by documents tiled' by the Government. In declining to compel the Foundation to restore the disputed patents, numbering some bought for 5271,000, from the Government, Judge Morris held there was no evidence bearing out allegation of a conspiracy by American manufacturers to effect a monopoly through the Foundation. The court ruled that there was no evidence of fraud or deceit practiced on President Wilson, Mr. Polk, Under Secretary of State; Attorney General Palmer and other high officials of that Administration. Garvan's Course Upheld The opinion praised Francis P.

Garvan, of the Foundation, and its trustees, as having met the most: severe of tests in their conduct of the test of actual They were declared by the court to afford, through their high integrity arid unquestioned patriotism, a thorough assurance of 'loyalty to their trust. "It has kept the faith," said the court of tho Foundation's work. Judge Morris found without tho Government's contention that the criminal laws wero violated in that. Mr. Garvan, as Alien Property Custodian and thereby a public trustee, sold to himself as president Foundation the patents in question.

He had acted by direction of President Wilson and his acts, supervised the President under the latter's wide war powers granted by Congress, could not be brought to court. Congress had not delegated legislative powers to President Wilson, as; maintained by the plaintiff, and the courts could not pass Judgment, on the wisdom or lack of wisdom of Presidential war acts. Judge Morris recited that although Colonel Thomas Miller, present Quatodinn, had' approved, two of; the sales, involved, verified the, corny p'lalhti in- his testimony ho admitted: he any' of the facts to Jiav.e been with- held'' and suppressed from him. "'In 1 view of this'testimony ami' 1 the obvious fact that the'power to charge, persons with fraud and conspiracy is" a weapon 'with which serious irreme- clial- injury may be to Innocent persons if such charges are lightly made, it IB difficult to understand why'the specific charges to which the foregoing testimony relates were' mode," wrote the court, "Yet the re- ipaUving like charges were lacking in in fact, at'the argument, tho plaintiff seemed no longer to press these charges against the persons alleged to be conspirators, but it sought to have the charges sustained as against the officers of tho Government who formu- In'ted and carried out in the public interest the plan of sale. While r'luiow of no case where by Implication of law the duty of clearing itself from imputed fraud rests upon defendant, yet the defendant has met fiven this" Holds Wilson Had Full Power While tlie With the Enemy Act first, merely authorized custodianship of German properties In this 'country, 'it' Utter amended, recalled the give power of under such as the President, -in tho should determine upon.

In effect, this made the qgen't of the nation, possessed of powers as'broad as though lie were absolute owner of tho seized Under, the provisions of the act, the President wac empowered to 'make any conditions- of sale he considered necessary in the circumstances. The sales in dispute were not made by the Custodian to -capacity as common-hnvTKUSteo, but. under the extraordinary pownrn devolving upon him as 'the President's representative, under th-e additional sections of the act. "Because a trustee with only tho usual powers -may not ordinarily sell trnsl property at private sale for less than its fair monetary vorfu'e, it by no means follows rlmt tho Custodian, acting under supervision and direction of the President, may. not do hfcld the tho primary act was the protection the nafoion.

In thi's relation Judge Morris quofc ed from President message- to Congress on Muscle Shoals that "while the price is i in e-lem en th ere is another consideration even more If this main object (low-priced nitrates for farmers, in peace and the Government in war) is accomplished, the amount of money received for the property is not a primary or 1 1 Referring to German-owned property, the court said: "Much of flu's property not innocently held or held solely for.

trade and cbmmercs. Information ac-. quired by German-owned companies had been transmitted to Berlin, and there indexed and made available to German competitors and the German Government. The files of one company were filled not with business pan-German literature. It was' a distribution centre for propaganda in this country." Upholds Confiscation of Patents Judge Morris pointed out that when America entered the war she adhered to the international convention forbidding poison gas, "but it soon became apparent that America would be fighting on disastrously unequal terms unless she should make use of a.11 dread weapons being useil.

against her by the foe. When Germany persisted in her attempts to destroy her opponents poison gas in contravention of all International- agreements, she made it manifest that America's future safety lay in America's chemical independence. The amendment to the act was passed' in the darkest d-ays of the war (allowing the sale seized T.t was thought Paris was about t-o foJl and the Channel ports he taken." these were circumstances, tho opinion, "which impelled Congress to grant the President the broad powers of almost absolute ownership. It was the intent, of Congress t.c subordinate mere property rights to the welfare of the nation." Of- the value of the patents sold, Judge Morris held, in accordance with the testimony, that while Dr. Carl Holderman, a German, asserted, the fraber patents $17,000,000 to the-Germans, "the is overwhelming that they were and are without, substantial affirmative value to American citizens.

Had thes-e patents been sold to Americans at public rather than private sale and only the net proceeds paid to their former enemy owners these owners would have suffered an almost total loss in the value of their property." Praises Work of Foundation As allegations that the sale was not to obtain a fair value, but to promote the interests of the chemical and dye Industries and that the transaction was 'in legal effect granting a subsidy to private industry, the Court commented, "this challenge to the motives of the officers making tho sate is supported, i think, neither by the facts nor the law.

10th St. Phone 432 lennined the public interest would bo best served by a wide use of the inventions covered by the patents. If the property was sold under terms and conditions that assured its being devoted to the public use it matters not what benefits or detriments may have as incidents therefrom. "The property is in the keeping of men who have in its management no selfish serve and whose devotion to the public interest has been established," continued the opinion. "No better plan for devoting the property to public use has been suggested.

The plan has stood the most severe of all trial. The defendant has kept the faith. This it has done, not only by granting fy. censes in furtherance of the purposes for which it was charatered, but also at its great expense, by distribution of hooks and pamphlets showing the national necessity for practical development of chemical iscience in America. If, perchance, those heretofore engaged the industries have derived an incidental advantage from the plan, that incidental result cannot invalidate a transaction lawfully consummated in the public interest.

The same charge would lie against the validity of every, tariff act. The sale was in effect to America and its citizens, not to those then engaged in chemical and allied industries." Judge Morris ruled that if the executives entrusted by Congress with power of sale acted within the scope of that power "their acts are not subject to nullification or review. Invasion by- the courts to-determine whether the public interest required tho property be sold otherwise than under the statutory conditions prescribed and to set aside the sale should the judgment of the court be different from of-the President would be a judicial nullification not only of the President's act but also of the ant of Congress conferring on the President the power to determine what the public interests required. What the public interest requires depends upon the conditions existing in the nation. Courts do not understand the 'state of the Union' and as, I apprehend, are not equipped to ascertain 1 It.

The statement of the reasons actuating the President does not make his act any the less, an act of discretion. It' is conceded the President cannot be brought into court to substantiate his reasons. The statute does not 'require him to disclose to the purchaser the evidence upon which- his reasons were based. The statute does not limit the Executive in assignment of reasons to such as may be supported by legal evidence or by facts available to the public."
