New Canadian Copyright Measure

London, June 26.-There will be an inn
portant colonial conference today
among representatives of the various
chambers of commerce for the discus
sion of series of imperial questions.
Apart from this meeting. one vexa-
tious question is already in a fair way
to be settled. This is the Canadian
copyright bill. which has passed its.
second reading in the dominion parlia
ment, is accepted by publishers, authors
and the colonial Office. and will receive.
without doubt the sanction of the i'm
Iperial government. George n. Morang
of Toronto has explained it to the salts
faction of the lords committee on copy
fright, and Prof. Mayo conferred yester-:
day with the colonial Office respecting IT..
John Murray and the English authors.
who formerly opposed the Canadian
copyright act with the manufacturing
/ clause, now favor it in an amended
4 form. #
The settlement will not violate the
Eessential principle of the Berne agree
mert or raise any question respecting
the validity of copyright in the empire.
1t will enable British author TO make
his own contract with a Canadian pub
llisher, by which copyright can be se-
lcured from Canada on condition that the
book is printed there. The American
manufacturing clause is converted into
a printing clause. 80 that plates can be
purchased either in London or in New
York and typesetting avoided in Cana
i da.
4 1t isf a compromiss which does not
violate the Berne principle of an au-
/ thor's contract over his property, nor
4 does 1t invalidate the imperial copy
+ right. The Canadian Representatives
j have presented their case with lucidity
A and intelligence, and the imperial au-
i thcrities will be greatly relieved by the
settlement.
