CONSPIRACY CHARGE FAILS Conduct ef Chemical Foundation Pralad In Us of former Csrmsn Patenta for Benefit of Amerl-can Amerl-can People. Wilmington. Del. In a sixty-two page decision which swept sway ev try one of the Government's major contentions as being without basis In fact or law. Federal Judge Hugh M Morris dismissed jts suit to set aside the ssle of. seized chemical and dye patents by the Allen Property Custodian Custo-dian to the Chemical Foundation, Inc., " The decision rebuked the Government Govern-ment for Including In the bill ot com plaint a series of conspiracy charges unsupported by evidence at the trial and refuted b the defense as well as by documeuts filed by the Govern ment. In declining to compel the Founds tion to restore the disputed pstents, umbering some 4,700 and bought for 1271,000, from the Government. Judge If orris held there was no evidence bearing out allegation ot 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 Palm and oUr high, offlclals of tht Administration. ' ' Garvan'a Course Upheld The opinion praised Francis P. Gar van, president of the Foundation, and Its trustees, aa having met the most severe of testa In their conduct of the Foundation "the test ot actual trial." They were declared by the court to afford, through their high Integrity and unquestioned patriotism, a thorough thor-ough assurance of loyalty to tbetr trust "It has kept the faith." said the court of the Foundation's work. Judge Morris found without merit the Government's contention that the criminal; laws, were violated la that Mr. Garvaa, aa Alien Property Custodian Custo-dian and thereby a public trustee, -sold to himself as president ot the Foundation the patents In question. He had acted by direction of President Presi-dent Wilson and bia acts, supervised by the President under the tatter's wide war powers granted by Congress, Con-gress, could not be brought to court Congress had not delegated legislative legisla-tive 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 Tbomas R. Miller, present Custodian, who had approved two of the salea Involved, verified the com-plaint-tn his testimony-h dmlud that he could not enumerate any of the facts alleged to have been withheld with-held and suppressed from him. "Jla view of this testimony snd the obvious fact that the power to charge persons with fraud and conspiracy is a weapon with which serious Irreme-iiaj Irreme-iiaj .lnlury.may.be dons i to Innocent persona It such charges are " lightly made. It Is difficult to understand why the specific charges to which the foregoing "testimony ' relates ' were made," wrote the court "Yet the remaining re-maining like charges were equally lacking In evidential support. In fact, at the argument, the plaintiff seemed n longer to press these charges against the persona alleged to be conspirators, con-spirators, but It sought to have the chargea sustained as against the of ficers Of the Government .who formulated formu-lated and carried out In the public Interest In-terest the plan of aale. . . . While I know of no case where by Implication Implica-tion of law the duty of clearing Itself from Imputed fraud rests upon the defendant, yet the defendant has met even this burden." Holds Wilson Had Full Power While the Trading With the Enemy Act at first merely authorised custodianship cus-todianship of German properties in this country, it was later amended, recalled the Court, to give power ot ea.!e u oiler such conditions as the Plrs:dnt public Interest. Should determine upon. In effect, this made the President, as agent of the nation, possessed of powers as broad as though be were absolute owner of the selied properties. Under the provisions pro-visions of the act. the President was empowered to make any conditions of sale he considered necessary in the circumstances. Th sales in dispute were not made by tbe Custodian in hie capacity aa a common-law trustee, but - under the extraordinary powers devolving upon him as the President's representative. under-4he- additional . SftCtJpn. of the act. "Because a trustee wKh only the ns.tal powers may not ordinarily sell trust oroperty at private sale tor less than Its fair monetary value. It by nHn'fii"TmTnwrthit'the Ctntodlnn. acting under nupervfslon and direction di-rection of the President, may not do ao." held the Court "Obviously, the primary pnrpose of the act wa the protection of the nstlon not tne bane-fit bane-fit of the enemy. The trusr waa' fo. th benefit of th nation public o .prlrat tru The utute re quires the President to consider the public tetereet PubMe Interest ! not a eynonym for money." In this relation Judge Morris quoted quot-ed from President Coolldge'a message to Congress on the Muscle Shoals problem, that "while the price Is an Important element, there is another consideration even more compelling. ,f,l Jf thla main object (tow triced, nitrites for farmers In peace and the Government in war) la accomplished, the amount ot money received tor the property Is not a primary or major consideration." , ' Referring to German-owned proper ty, the court said: "Much of this property was not Innocently held, or held solely tor trade and commerce. Information acquired ac-quired by Germanowned companies had been transmitted to Berlin, and there" Indexed and made available to German competitors and tbe German Government The (Ilea of one company com-pany were filled not with business papers, hut with pan-German literature. litera-ture. It was a distribution centre 'or propaganda In this country." Upholds Confiscation of Patents Judge Morris pointed out that when America entered the war she adhered to the international convention tor-bidding tor-bidding poison gas. "but It soon became be-came apparent that America would be fighting on disastrously unequal terms unless she should make use of all the dread weapons being used against her by the fo. - When Germany persisted In her attempts to destroy bar opponents oppo-nents with poison gaa In contravention contraven-tion of all International agreements, ahe made H manifest that America's future safety lay In America's chemi-caJ chemi-caJ Independence. The amendment fo the act was paeaed In the darkeat days of the war (allowing the sale of seised properties). It wee thought Paris waa about to tall and tbe Channel Chan-nel ports be taken." These were the circumstances, eald the opinion, ''which Impelled Congress to grant the President the broad powers of almost absolute ownership. K waa the Intent of Congress to subordinate mere property prop-erty "rights fo the' welfare of tbe'ug-Uon." tbe'ug-Uon." . Of the value of the patents sold. Judge Morris held. In accordance with the testimony, that while Dr. Carl Holdermaa, a German, asserted the Haber patents were worth 117,000.000 to the Germans, "the evidence Is overwhelming over-whelming that they' were and are without substantial affirmative value to American cltisena. Had these patents pat-ents been told 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 lou In the value ot their property." Praises Work of Foundation Aa to allegations that the sale waa not to obtain a fair value, but to promote pro-mote the Interests of the chemical and dye Industries and that, the transaction transac-tion wis" In legal effect granting' a subsidy to private Industry, the Court commented, "this challenge to the motives ' of the officers, making the sale Is supported, I think, neither by the facts nor, tbe law.

Tbe same charge would lie against tbe validity of every tariff act Tbe sale was In effect to America and Ita cltixena. not to those then engaged In chemical and allied Industries." Judge Morris ruled that If tbe executives ex-ecutives entrusted by Congress wltb power of sale acted within tbe scope of that power "their acta are not subject sub-ject to Judicial nullification or review. Invasion by tbe courta to determine whether the public Interest required the property be sold otherwise than under . the statutory conditions prescribed pre-scribed and to set aside the sale should tbe Judgment of the court be different from that of the President would be a Judicial nullification not only of the President's set but also of the1 act of Congress conferring on tbe President the power to determine what tbe public Interests required.
