CHAP. V] TREATY RELATIONS 1105 accepts a treaty to pass any legislation necessary to give it full force, and this has often been done, e.g. by the North American Colonies to carry out the provisions of the Extra- dition Treaty of 1842, of the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854, and of the Treaty of Washington of 1871, and by Canada in 19086, 1908 and 1911 to confirm the Japanese and French treaties. The Imperial Government has also often legislated to sup- plement, Colonial legislation, as in the case of the Anglo- American Treaties of 1854 and 1871, and the Anglo-French Treaty of 1904. In the case of Newfoundland an Imperial Act to override Colonial legislation was proposed in 1891} and only withdrawn on an undertaking being given by the Colonial Government that Colonial legislation would take place, and an Order in Council of September 9, 1907,% was actually passed, under the Imperial Act of 1819, to suspend the operation of certain Colonial legislation which was in- consistent with a modus vivendi of September 6, 1907, with the United States. This Order in Council was revoked in 1908 on the acceptance by the Colony of a modus vivends pending the submission of the questions at issue with the United States to arbitration. It is, of course, in each case a question of interpretation how far treaties extend to the Dominions. Thus Her Majesty’s Government in 18752 held that British Columbia was not entitled to the benefits of the Treaty of Washington of 1871, as it had become part of the Dominion of Canada subsequent to that date. On the other hand, general treaties would clearly, on the accepted principle of international law, apply to territories acquired subsequent to the date of the treaty, as, for example, the Transvaal and the Orange River Colony. Certain difficulty might arise in such a case, for normally these Colonies, as self-governing Colonies, would have been given the option of adhering to treaties of 2 commercial character. whereas as it was thev fell under the See Parl.
