To be fair, highly-compressed voice calls made a good deal of sense in the past. For decades it was all the industry could do to keep pace with the booming demand for phone calls. Americans talked on cell phones for 200 billion minutes in 1999; by 2009 demand was up ten-fold, to 2.2 trillion minutes. To help handle the surge, the carriers very reasonably decided to compress calls, sacrificing fidelity to gain capacity.

We have made this digression on the subject of organic chemistry because of our conviction that no one can have even an approximate *200 understanding of the case at bar without some knowledge and appreciation of the conditions of modern warfare and the ability of the United States to meet them.

(It may be noted that the President had long known the relation of the organic chemical industry to modern warfare. In January, 1916, before the United States entered the war, Mr. Henry B. Thompson, President of the National Association of Finishers of Cotton Fabrics, discussed with him the dependence of the nation upon organic chemistry for its munitions and urged him to do something, at least in the way of tariffs, toward creating an American dye industry for national defense.)

The question is therefore reduced to this: Having received the President's authority, did the first paragraph of section 12, as amended, give the Custodian power to dispose of the patents to the respondent at private sale upon the conditions and for the consideration named? The Government says it did not for a number of reasons; first, for the reason that, as it interprets the section, "the change of policy with respect to sale of enemy property embodied in the Amendment of March, 1918, did not change the policy of conservation but only authorized a conversion of property into cash while in custody, reserving to Congress the determination after the war of all questions as to final disposition thereof." Conceding that it was the policy of Congress to eliminate German ownership and put the seized properties of Germans in American hands and render them available for war, the Government nevertheless maintains that "this policy could and was intended to be fully carried out and this purpose completely accomplished by fair sale of this property to American citizens, and by the substitution therefor of its fair equivalent in cash in the hands of the Treasurer of the United States." Stated differently, the contention of the Government is that, "the property in the hands of the Custodian was held with the enemy interest in suspension awaiting the final action of Congress as to the disposition thereof after the war. If Congress intended to return it or its proceeds to the original owners, no beneficial interest therein would ever have accrued to the United States or the people thereof; * * * Congress has never created any trust of this property for the benefit of the nation and could not do so out of property which had never been acquired by confiscation or otherwise and which was not owned by the Government." Using its words, we think this fairly states the position of the Government, and it is based on two propositions, either one of which, if sound, sustains its conclusions. The first is that the Custodian, even without the descriptive words of the section, is a fiduciary, subject to all the familiar duties and obligations of an ordinary trustee; that the powers of a "common-law trustee" with which the amended section vested the Custodian charged him with the duty to conserve the estate just as the original section did, and that the additional power conferred upon him by the amendment the power to sell seized property was subordinate to and therefore was to be exercised in consonance with his trusteeship; and that as an ordinary trustee in equity can sell trust property only for money, and only for the largest amount obtainable, the Custodian was bound to sell the seized patents at a price which would bring the largest return in dollars and was not authorized to be influenced by other considerations, however advantageous they were to the United States, or, even though they affected the life of the nation. We think there is infirmity in this premise and that, in consequence, the syllogism is faulty. The statute provides for public sale to the highest bidder "unless the President, stating the reasons therefor, in the public interest, shall otherwise determine." The inevitable logic of this provision is that when the President shall, in the public interest, determine otherwise, seized property may be sold at private sale to a lower bidder. This expression of the section contemplates something more than money because by its terms it calls upon the President to regard the public interest in departing from the statute's general rule of public sale. Public interest is not limited to dollars. When therefore in the public interest the President authorizes a private sale, the statute permits the Custodian to dispose of the property "in like manner as though he were the absolute owner thereof." An absolute owner is at liberty to consider and impose conditions of sale and to be influenced by something other than the monetary return. It is common knowledge of all lawyers and many business men that the highest bid is not always the best bid and that a lower bid may be the best bid when based on conditions sufficient to overbalance the difference between the two. And so here, concededly, the patents were sold for less than their value to their previous German owners, and perhaps less than their value to the United States had *207 they been offered at public sale without conditions, for then the purchasers would have acquired them with their characteristic of monopolies in force. But when the President determined that the public interest required that they should be sold at private sale, it was, we surmise, lawful for the Custodian in fixing the terms of the sale to keep the public interest in mind, as he did in this case, and impose conditions which would be not only advantageous to his principal but would carry out the express purpose of the Act by assuring "the safety of the United States." With these conditions announced it is obvious that the money price would be less than the price which would be obtained at a sale without conditions.

Apart from the Baku fields, the most highly developedoil-field of importance in Russia is that of Grosny, whichis situated on the northern slopes of the Caucasianrange and connected with the Vladicaucas railway bya branch line. The Grosny field, however, has onlybeen developed during the past fifteen years in whatmay be called a commercial sense, but its operated areais almost double that of Baku. It has greatly sufferedowing to the inadequacy of transport facilities, but in1919 a project was drafted to build a pipe-line to theBlack Sea.

Experiments were made, and with these the name ofDr. Paul Dvorkovitz will ever be associated, and it wasfound that by the passage of a current of gas over thesurface of this intermediate product, the gas caught upas it were a richness which materially increased thelighting power of the gas. To cut a long, but highlyinteresting, story short, this solar or gas oil was subsequentlyintroduced by Dr. Dvorkovitz to England forgas enrichment purposes, and the extent of its employmentto-day may be judged from the fact that theUnited Kingdom regularly imports between 60,000,000and 70,000,000 gallons per annum for the enrichmentof the coal gas which finds useful employment in practicallyevery home throughout the land. As is known,the gas companies have to produce gas of a certainlighting quality, and it is in the upholding of the lightingstrength of the gas that solar oil to-day plays so importanta part. At first, the oil came almost exclusivelyfrom Russia, but now the competition from the UnitedStates has secured for our American friends the vastbulk of the trade, which, as I have shown, has reachedenormous proportions.

In no other sphere of employment has petroleum madesuch rapid strides during the past two or three decadesas those recorded in connection with its use in internalcombustion engines, and one of the most interestingfeatures of modern mechanical engineering is theirdevelopment. The advent and immediate popularityof this kind of engine has been responsible for some ofthe most remarkable conquests of mankind over theforces of Nature, for it has brought into being theautomobile, the aeroplane, the dirigible airship, anda host of other inventions. It has also been responsiblefor quite a new departure in ocean transport, forexperiments have proved that the largest vessels canbe very economically operated by means of the internalcombustion engine.

Under the Vickers system of mechanical fuel injection,there is, of course, no introduction of very highlycompressed air, and, consequently, first ignition isrendered easier. From this, it will at once be seen thatan oil possessing a high flash point can be more easilyburned in the Vickers engine than in the ordinaryDiesel, with the necessary adjunct of an air compressor.Provision is also made (should the type of fuel usedrequire it) for a higher temperature of compression, andsuch oils are, therefore, much more easily dealt withthan in the ordinary Diesel engine.
