I maintain that the subject of copyright is abstruse, and is not to be
mastered in a few days or in a few months. Long as this letter is, I have
stated only a single phase of the question. I could better have dealt with
the matter in a short address, and I very much regret that the Executive
of the Council did not afford me the opportunity of appearing before them
when I asked it. Had this been done, I feel satisfied that the Board would
not have been committed to the proposals the Council are now engaged in
advancing, nor would the Board have been subjected in England, as it
already has been, to the criticisms of those who understand the copyright
question, and with some indignation resent the course of the Board in
advancing reasons for its action which are not in accordance with the real
facts.

I am, Sir,
Yours truly,
GEORGE N. MORANG
