DISCUSSION OF
AFTER-THE-IR
WASHINGTON, June 5.—A national
trade-mark for protection of American
goods abroad and to insure a high stan
dard of quality will be available for the
use of manufacturers in the United
States when Congress agrees on bills
now pending to authorize the Depart
ment of Commerce to design such an
emblem and regulate its use.
“Made in Germany” goods and the
insidious propaganda accompanying
that notorious trade mark, will b
combatted after the war by the
American sign, standing for an honest
product and square dealing to ail.
The rtade mark will be pictorial or
symbolic, recognizable in all coun
tries regardless of the language that
is spoken. The printed mark “Made
in U. S. A.” should be written on
the goods also in the language of the
country where the goods are to be
sold.
Another objection to the printed
mark has been that it was subject
to misinterpretation in British coun
tries, where it might be taken to
mean “Made in Union of South Af
rica, or “Made in the United States
of Australia.”
While the first necesity for such a
trade-mark is to protect American
goods in foreign countries, a very
important elect of its use will he to
insure that manufactures sold in in
terstate commerce are kept up to the
standard and in fact that they are
what they are represented to be by
salesmen or by advertising. It is the
present intention of the Department
of Commerce to restrict the use of the
proposed national trade-mark to such
manufactures and in connection with
such comodities as will meet certain
standards of trade practice, as well
as of quality.
The proposal for a national trade
mark has the endorsement of Presi
dent Wilson, to whom Secretary Red
field submitted the first bill for sug
gestions before it was introduced in
Congress. Secretary Lane and Secre
tary Houston also have been art
invely interested in the bill. Num
erous commercial organizations, pri
vate citizens and trade papers fnve
approved the idea.
Many small manufacturers are un
able to enter the export market be
cause they cannot afford to go to
the expense of protecting their trade
ma-ks in foreign countries. To those
manufacturers, permission to use a
national trade-mark at a nominal fee
would be a great boon, if such mark
were protected by the Governmen
throughout the world. It will also be
a boon to many larger manufactur
ers wrho have had their own trade
marks pirated in one or” more for
eign countries. In such countries
these larger manufacturers need only
place the national emblem upon their
products. The foreign consumer
therefore will soon recognize that
even goods bearing an American pri
vate brands are not necessarily
American, unless such brand is ac
companied by the national trade
mark.
Small manufacturers are now at
quite a disadvantage as compared
with large manufacturers because of
the inability of the latter to expend
large sums in nationally advertising
their products. The quasi-monopoly
secured in this way by large manu
facturers will be to a very large ex
tent vitiated by permitting the small
manufacturer of integrity to use up
on his goods of recognized quality
the national symbol which will be
freely advertised throughout the
world to a far greater extent than
any private trade mark ever could be.
American goods, rather than
Americans and threir persons, are to
be the correct means of winning
friends for this country, in the opin
ion of officials. The national trade
symbol If properly exploited and used
should enabl us to reach markets
and people as we have never done be
fore.

LONDON, June 5.—The govern
ment is wrestling with the problem
of what to do with the dogs in view
of the rapidly diminishing stocks of
food. It seems pretty well settled
that the number of dogs is to be re
duced. There are hardly any dog "bis
cuits left, and no more will be manu
factured, as the low-grade flour from
which they are made is wanted for
other purposes.
Bonar Law, Chancellor of the Ex
chequer, refused to include a heavy
tax on dogs in his budget, which he in
troduced in the last week of April
His friends said that such a tax as
the one proposed would kill dog
breeding as an industry and would
work unequally between the rich and
poor. The poor man’s dog would be
sacrificed while the pampered Pek
inese would flourish.
Now the alternative proposal is to
prohibit the breeding of dogs during
the war except under license. The ef
fects of this would be to allow the
perpetuation of pedigree dogs which
; have taken many years and large
j sums of money to produce. Also
: useful dogs like the sheep dogs and
army dogs. The breeding of mon
i grels and probably of purely fancy
j dogs would be prohibited.
There will be no interference with
people who already have a dog. They
j will in the future need all their in
genuity to keep their pets fed.
