THE PROPOSED Observation-Disclosures
BEsANTs SPEECH
London, Nov 8-Lord Ripon Colonial Secretary
received to-day deputation from the Chamber Of
commerce and the allied sections known the
Society of Authors, the Copyright Association, and
the Printseers' Association. Sir Albert Kaye Roll
lit, president of the Associated Chambers Of Com
merce, introduced the deputation and stated its
business. After denying that he was hostile to
Canadian interests in general he opened in the
Populations behalf rather hot attack Cana
da's attitude to the copyright question He might
talk strongly. he said, because he felt strongly
He knew that the copyright legislation demanded
by Canada violated the established principles on
which the copyright law of the Empire had rested
hitherto. If the legislation in question should be
passed 1t would create a precedent whose effect
would be almost unlimited.
Mr. Cnderdown, q. c. described Sir John Thomp-
sons demands in the matter of copyright as solely
an effort TO advance the trade in Canadian reprints
France, as a sgner of the Berne Convention to
which the colonies had agreed prior to its adop-
ton, might also complain in view of the 100000
F'rench-speakng Canadians.
Walter Besant said:
The question is most serious for authors
The American act has already borne great fruits
for American authors. who have shown increased
vitality and strength since they have been able to
compete on fair terms with English writer's. More
over, when the conditions become thoroughly
established the English authors will find their best
audience in the United states. However, II Canada

reprints vyng with others will begin again. The

Briefly the question Is this: Ought country with
100000 inhabitants 10 be allowed wreak this
mischief on the Engsh-speaking world of 100000.
merely that a few OF its publishers may enrich
themselves by underseng the Americans?
Mr. Clayton of a music-publishing firm Mr.. Ar
nod-Foster. a member of the House OF Commons.
and others ndorsed Mr.. Besant's argument. one
speaker suggested that Great Britain assist Canada
by Offering a short bill excluding Canadian reprints.
though copyrighted in the Dominion, from
all other parts of the Empire
Lord Ripon said that he intended to discuss the
matter fully with Sir John Thompson. the Canadian
Premier. at the first opportunity, but he was
anxious to learn first the opinion Of such bodies as
he had the honor 10 be receiving. The desires Of
one OF the great colonies were entitled TO his most
serious consideration. on the other hand. the in
terests represented by the deputation could not be
sighted He promised most careful attention to the
whole subject.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Cbairman Reilly
has been playing 'possum," as was sus-
pected. BE has pretended to take little
interest in the fate of his funding bill, but
this morning he was up bright and early,
and before 10 O'clock had Il quorum of his
committee together. After some discus
sion it was agreed to ask the Rules Com
mittee for a day" for the bill. Judge
Mcguire soon learned Of this. and he and
Mr.. Caminetti were soon at work on men,
bers of the Rules Committee. Messrs.
Catchings and Cultivate virtually agreed
not to give their consent until the Califor-
mans have had further opportunity to
be heard. Judge Mcguire will see Speaker
Crisp tomorrow. Chairman Reilly has no
expectation that the bill will be called up
before the Christmas holidays, while the
Caiifornians believe they may defeat its
consideration altogether.
