The other point is one which can be clearly understood. It is now the right of colleges and libraries, an important right, that in case of an English book they should be able to get the English edition, which in some instances is more complete or for other reasons better than the American edition. But it can almost never be an important right to obtain the English edition of an American book since the American edition is almost always more complete, or equally complete. So that the right to import the foreign edition of an American book, a book of American origin, would ordinarily be confined to the Tauchnitz and the like editions with which the gentlemen of the committee are all familiar, where a continental publisher publishes English and American books for the benefit of travelers, and they are not allowed to be reimported into England or America. It seems to the publishers fair that the same rule which applies to every Englishman and every American as to such Tauchnitz editions should be applied to libraries; that is, that they should get the American edition, and not the other, of which the only advantage is cheapness, arising from its special purpose. Whether or not these are reasonable changes has been very largely passed upon, it seems to me, in the controversy that has gone on with the American Library Association, which is a very powerful and very diligent and active association, and which has been very much interested in these matters; and in laying before you their approval of the bill in its present shape, it seems to me that as to this clause it must establish in the minds of the committee a clear prima facie case, at least, that this compromise that is agreed upon is a reasonable compromise. There are gentlemen here who represent certain libraries who, I understand, think that it is not a reasonable compromise. Mr. CURRIER. That minority is a very strong one, is it not? Mr. OLIN. I think it is a strong one; and they undoubtedly will be heard. They object that this compromise goes too far; and all that we can reasonably ask the committee at this moment is that if it occurs--if it seems to the committee that what this minority of librarians have to say overcomes the presumption of fairness that arises from a compromise satisfactory to the majority--that then the publishers may have their opportunity of showing to the committee that it is a fair compromise and a reasonable disposition of the matter. Now, we come to the next clause of these exceptions. Mr. CURRIER. Just an instant. Would the people you represent object seriously to an amendment to subdivision 3, on page 16, which would strike out all after the words "United States" where they occur? Mr. OLIN. On page 16? Mr. CURRIER. In the tenth line of subdivision 3. Mr. OLIN. Are you reading from the printed form of the bill? Mr. CURRIER. The library print. Mr. CHANEY. Section 21? Mr. CURRIER. I have not compared them. I have been using the library print all the time.
