Today the Allies are harvesting the fruits of his wisdom and foresight. If we were to geographically locate the homes of the important inventions made in the last 150 years, we would find that parts of our Country form one of the two great "inventive" areas in the World.

     Our outstanding position today can be attributed to the opportunity and incentive offered to inventors by a sound patent system. The products of this system have given us the highest living standards in times of Peace - they are helping to win the World's greatest War - and in addition they offer high hopes for the Future. Let us treasure this heritage along with our Constitution and guard against losing either of them, unintentionally.     ●
