XII. Deportation of Aliens. That, where aliens are deported under the law of any Dominion from one part of the Empire to another, it is desirable that some system should be devised whereby the Government concerned may effectively co-operate in the measures necessary for the final disposal of such aliens. XIII. Birthday of His Majesty the King. That it is desirable that the 3rd June, the Birthday of His Most Gracious Majesty King George V., shall in each succeeding year be duly honoured and celebrated throughout the British Empire, and that such measures be taken by legislation or otherwise as may be deemed necessary to give full effect to this resolution. XIV. Cheaper Cable Rates. That, in view of the social and commercial advantages which would result from increased facilities for intercommunication between her dependencies and Great Britain, it is desirable that all possible means be taken to secure a reduction in cable rates throughout the Empire. XV. State-owned Atlantic Cable. That, in the event of considerable reductions in trans-Atlantic Cable rates not being effected in the near future, it is desirable that the laying of a Stateowned cable between England and Canada be considered by a subsidiary Conference. XVI. State-owned Wireless Telegraph-stations. That the great importance of wireless telegraphy for social, commercial, and defensive purposes renders it desirable that a chain of British State-owned wireless stations should be established within the Empire. XVII. Universal Penny Postage. That, in view of the social and political advantages and the material commercial advantages to accrue from a system of international penny postage, this Conference recommends to His Majesty's Government the advisability, if and when a suitable opportunity occurs, of approaching the Governments of other States, members of the Universal Postal Union, in order to obtain further reductions of postage rates, with a view to a more general, and, if possible, a universal, adoption of the penny rate. XVIII. Imperial Postal Order Scheme. That it is desirable to complete the Imperial Postal Order scheme by its extension to Australia and its full adoption by Canada, so that the British Postal Order shall be obtainable and payable in all parts of the Empire, and thus afford a ready and economical means of remitting small sums, not only between the United Kingdom and other parts of the Empire, but between each part and every other.
