1542 IMPERIAL UNITY [PART VIII (m) Uniformity of Law As usual these resolutions were rather barren. Copyright was only mentioned, as the question had been fully discussed in 1910 at the subsidiary Conference of that date,! and nothing could be done pending action on the Imperial Bill then before the House of Commons. Alien immigration exclu- sion was referred to the Royal Commission on commercial relations.? But the Imperial Government secured the passing of a resolution (xii), ‘ That, where aliens are deported under the law of any Dominion from one part of the Empire to another, it is desirable that some system should be devised where the Governments concerned may effectively co-operate in the measures necessary for the final disposal of such aliens.” Hitherto both Canada and South Africa have {reely deported aliens to England, thus adding to the diffi- culties of dealing there with criminous aliens, and the object of the Imperial Government was to secure that by timely notice it could put in force against such aliens the provisions of the Aliens Act? The desirability of uniform laws as to companies, trade marks, and patents was agreed upon, but left over for action by the Secretariat and the other Govern- ment departments, with a view to securing that there should be greater uniformity, especially as regards forms of applica- tion for patents! Dr. Findlay ® went further, and pressed for inter-Imperial validity of patents. Accident compensa- tion® evoked agreement except from General Botha,” who could not see its practicability. New Zealand and Great Britain already treat all persons alike, aliens or British subjects, whether the dependents be resident or not. In Australia and Canada the matter is one of state and provincial competence, and a general agreement was alone possible. See Parl. Pap., Cd. 5272. * Cd. 5745, p. 425.

He quoted the varying decisions in England, New Zealand, and Australia on the cyanide case as an instance of the absurdities of the position. fee Cd. 5746-1, pp. 140-54 (patents). 154-63 (trade marks), 164-203 (companies). * Ibid., pp. 271-3. * Ibid, p. 272; Cd. 5746-1, pp. 259-62.
