1102 ADMINISTRATION AND LEGISLATION [PART V in Africa. Direct Conventions with regard to postal matters have several times been concluded with the tacit or express approval of His Majesty’s Government, but postal matters have always been treated as being of a commercial character. Or again, in 1904 Australia informally arranged to facilitate the travel in the Commonwealth of Japanese merchants, students, and tourists, but there was no treaty, just as Queensland had arranged informally with the Japanese Consul there for the limitation of emigration from Japan to Queensland in 1900. There is no real doubt that treaties made by the Crown are binding on the Colonies whether or not the Colonial (lovernments consent to such treaties. It has indeed been suggested that ratification by the Colonial Government is necessary, and a phrase used by Lord Kimberley in 18722 during the correspondence with the Australian Colonies as to the creation of a quasi Customs Union in Australia has been quoted by Todd? in favour of this view. Lord Kimberley there said that the power of making treaties rested with the Imperial Government, subject to legislation being passed by the Imperial and Colonial Parliaments where necessary to enable the treaty to be-put in force. But this view is certainly wrong, unless it merely means that a Colony may or may not exercise its right of adherence to a treaty by which it is not bound but with regard to which it is only given an option of adherence, and indeed it would obviously be impossible for international relations to be successfully concluded unless there were one power which could represent effectively in external matters the Empire as a whole. On the other hand, it is an essential part of the Constitution of the Empire that so far as is practical no treaty obligations shall be imposed without their concurrence on the self-governing Dominions. * Commonwealth Parl.
