ADDENDA 1623 No. 1 of 1889, 3 of 1895), and to treat the Free State differentially as opposed to the United Kingdom and British possessions. The Free State had once indeed been British territory, but was then an independent state, and the action of the Cape raised difficult questions of international law as regards most favoured nation clauses in treaties. The South African Customs Unions of 1903 and 1906 contemplated the possibility of the accession of foreign territories (e.g. Mozambique; see Natal Act No. 9 of 1906, s. 3), and the Transvaal Colony made an agreement with Mozambique under which the products and manufactures (except spirits) of that territory enter the Colony (now the Province) free of duty. The Protectorates now enjoy a customs régime based on the Union as modified by s. 12 of the schedule to the South Africa Act, 1909, while the Rhodesias are dealt with on the basis of the Union.2 The United Kingdom is not given the same terms, but the United Kingdom conceded the principle in 1873 in the case of Australia. Pace 1153. The treaty with Spain can be denounced at six months’ notice under the notes of December 28 and 29, 1894. Sweden and Mexico have agreed to permit the separate withdrawal of the Dominions. For separate adherence, cf. Maritime Conventions Act, 1911; House of Commons Debates, xxxii. 2687-90. Pace 1184. Cf. Bowen, Thirty Years of Colonial Government, 1. 250 seq. Pace 1215. In the session of 1911 New Zealand amended the Act of 1909 in accordance with the undertaking given to the Imperial Government, by restricting the control of bills of lading to cases of carriage from New Zealand. The amendment raised no protest in Parliament. See Act No. 37. Page 1237. The Copyright Act is now law as 1 & 2 Geo. V. c. 46. Pace 1265. The Union Defence Bill, which will no doubt become law in 1912, contemplates compulsory training only if voluntary enlistment is insufficient to maintain the first line of defence at a level of about 25,000 men. The members of that force will consist of five regiments of mounted rifies, absorbing the Cape Mounted Police, and available for police as well as military service, with artillery; the Coast Garrison force, and the Active Citizen force, viz. those between L7 and 25 who are being trained. The Second Line will include citizens to age 45 who have been trained or have served in Rifle Associations. In case of a levy en masse all Europeans up to 60 may be called on to serve. Those who are trained will serve for [our years with a camp attendance of from 8 to 15 days and a certain number of drills ; others will pay £1 a head a year up to age 44. Non-Europeans are relieved of the burden of defence entirely. In this connexion it; is important to note that in an appeal under the * See Dilke, Problems of Greater Britain, i. 477 seq. Colonial Office List, 1911, p. 283.
