§ 15. Mr. HARRY LAWSONasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the provisions of the various International Conventions with regard to international copyright, and particularly the Berlin Convention of 1908, hold good as far as books originally written and published by an alien enemy are concerned?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI am advised that the copyrights conferred upon the works of 625 alien enemies in accordance with the provisions of the Berlin Copyright Convention of 1908 or the Austro-Hungarian Copyright Convention of 1893 are not destroyed by the mere fact of war.
