CHAP. IIT] THE CONFERENCE OF 1911 1485 of which are subjects or citizens of a country of the union, or bona fide residents in such a country. Steps were taken in accordance with the fifth resolution of the Conference to pass new Orders in Council respecting appeals from the Supreme Courts of New Zealand, the six Australian states, the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Bruns- wick, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, while Orders in Council respect- ing procedure were passed in respect of the Commonwealth of Australia and the Union of South Africa.l In accordance with the wishes of the Conference of 1907, steps were taken for the appointment of Trade Commissioners in the Dominion of Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia, the Dominion of New Zealand, and the Union of South Africa, and a paid correspondent of the Board of Trade was appointed in Newfoundland. These officers perform with regard to matters of trade much the same functions as are performed by His Majesty’s consuls in foreign countries. Steps were taken to secure greater uniformity in the laws of the Dominions with regard to trade marks and patents.® Moreover, the trade statistics of the Dominions were modified with a view to showing more clearly the trade with the United Kingdom, British possessions, and foreign countries. Uniformity in company law’ was in part effected by legislation in the Transvaal in 1909 (No. 31), in Victoria in 1910 (No. 2293), and in British Columbia in 1910 (c. 7). Moreover, the Imperial legislation was consolidated in 1908, the New Zealand in the same year, and the Dominion Govern- ments have under consideration the question of assimilating their legislation to that Act.® Arrangements were made to hold a subsidiary conference with regard to reciprocity in the examination and authorization of survevors throughout * Parl.
