The arguments that have been made

all cases a conflict OF laws is likely
to result in innocent errors, uncertain
ty and injustice. We have referred
already to the efforts that are being
made to harmonic the divorce laws
and laws concerning negotiable instrn-

national legislation 1t is obvious that
the laws OF the states should conform
