Chapter XVIII: Section 8: , paragraph (a), in the interest of clearness should be

amended by striking out the words "or cotemporaneously" in line
21, and by inserting after line 22 "shall publish his work within
the limits of the United States cotemporaneously with its first
publication elsewhere; or."

Section 9 should be amended by inserting after the word "Act,"
line 14, the words "and by the performance of the other conditions
precedent mentioned in the act, and by entry of the title of the
work as hereinafter provided." It is plain that a person does not
"secure" copyright by the publication with notice, which is all
that is mentioned in this section.
