"There is, under the present act, a

fense," Dr. Nelson said.
Aimed At Weaknesses
The new Food and Drug Act pro-
posed by Senator Royal S. Copeland
of New York is aimed at removing
many of the weaknesses in the exist-
ing act. -.It was passed by the Senate
and is now in committee in the House
of Representatives.
"Several attempts have been made
to weaken the new bill," Dr. Nelson
said. "Among these are the inclu-
sion of the .provision that the trial
shall occur in the home district of the
offender instead of in the District
Court where the offense occurs and
the restriction of the provision per-
mitting multiple seizures of mis-
branded or adulterated foods, drugs
or liquors," he said.
Inadequacy Criticized
Criticism has been aimed at the
Copeland Bill as inadequate by many
observers, and it remains to be seen
in just what form the bill will emerge
from the House. The New York
Times editorially commented that "It
clearly prohibits false advertising of
foods, drugs, therapeutic devices and
cosmetics; sets up a true legal stand-
ard with the force of law for each
type of food and not, as under the
present act, several standards of dif-
fering qualities; requires the disclos-
ure of the ingredients of unstandard-
ized foods; prohibits traffic in dan-
gerous foods and the addition of poi- I
son; makes it difficult to sell poor
food under deceptive coined names;
insists on full informative labeling
of infant and invalid foods; author-
izes the emergency license-control
of food when, for example, micro-or-
ganisms have bred in it."
Severe criticism against the Cope-
land Bill has been voiced by many,
however, because it would enable the
accused to have his case tried in his
local jurisdiction, no matter where
the adulterated goods were seized.
It is claimed that the prosecution of
the accused may become meaning-
less because in many cases the in-
dustry may be the economic strong-
hold of a community and the citizens
on the jury, residents of the commu-
nity, will hardly convict the con-
cern which affords them a livelihood.
