When we have recognized the authors right. whether he be foreign born or native. to the product of his mind and to the result of his own genius. we have accomplished all that is necessary to put this country in line with those countries that are most advanced in civilization and that have arrived at this high plane. The author. if he be a foreigner. as I said awhile ago. can come to this country and obtain under this bill. if it should become a law. a copyright. and can sell that copyright to any publisher that he chooses. The publisher. on the other hand. has a perfect freedom of contract. and can make such bargain with the foreign author as he thinks will be necessary to protect hiin in what he has bought.
