CHAP. viii] COPYRIGHT LEGISLATION 1229 produced within a reasonable time either in the United Kingdom or in Canada at such a price as to meet the Cana- dian demand, there should be power to grant a licence for its publication in Canada on the terms of paying a royalty to the copyright authors. But more precautions should be taken than was done by the Act of 1889 to secure the interests of authors, Twelve months might be allowed as a reason- able time for cheap reproduction, and during this period the Imperial Copyright should remain unimpaired. The amount of the royalty might, perhaps, be 15 per cent., and should be levied by means of a stamp on each copy, and if unstamped books were offered for sale they should be liable to seizure. If this were done and licences could be granted for reprinting British copyright books, either the foreign reprints Act of 1847 should cease to apply to Canada or Canada, should, in accordance with the recommendations of the Copyright Commission, make better provision for securing to the authors of copyright works the payment of duty on such foreign reprints as should be still admitted into the Colony. The report of this Committees was transmitted to the Government of Canada in a dispatch of June 30, 1892, with a request that the whole subject should be reconsidered by the Dominion Government in the light thrown upon it by the researches of the Committee.! The reply 2 to this dis- patch was sent by Lord Aberdeen on February 10, 1894, in which it was stated that nothing in the Report was likely to shange the opinion of the Canadian Ministry, that notice should be given with the least possible delay of the with- drawal of Canada from the Berne Convention. The Ministry reminded the Governor-General that Canada had been repeatedly assured that her continuance in any treaty arrangement of this kind would be subject to her desire to withdraw at any time on giving the required notice. In a later dispatch of February 20, 1894,% a detailed reply was given to the report of the Departmental Committee. The * Parl. Pap., C. 7783, p. 60. * Ibid., p. 64. ' Ibid., pp. 66-77. 1279+3
