What is happening between the different rulers and factions, between the mixed rulers and the native rulers, between these rulers and the legitimate rulers, between the legitimate rulers and the Patriarchates, and between some Patriarchates and others. There is no need to repeat that here. But I say that the experiences we have gained in the last nine years have shown that without obtaining, at the present time, an amendment to the basis of the laws, there are obstacles that we may not be able to remove (15). So the government has no hope now of establishing the aforementioned wisdom in the near future as it wished. Furthermore, it cannot propose to the states the issuance of a new law for companies that is adequate and meets the demands of the present era (16), as some reformers who think everything is easy have suggested. Moreover, the benefit of companies is from the most complex legislative provisions and the most expansive in doctrines.

We would like to say what is happening with the project to unify retail films, which has been under the consideration of the states since 1905.

(15) If such a law is issued, it will undoubtedly affect the situation of foreign companies until a solution to the dispute is found. A law on this complex subject was presented to the French Chamber of Deputies in 1902, and the committee tasked with its examination has not yet finished its research.
