SHOULD THE THREE MILE COASTAL
ZONE BE EXTENDED TO TWENTY?
An Interesting Suggestion About Marine Jurisdiction In Relation To
National Defence.

A sovereign State holds its territory
through force, through it's power to
defend It against foreign or revolution
dry attack. It's dominion over the ad-
joining seas Is limited by general Gus
tom to a zone Of three miles along its
coasts. The custom has grown out OF
a doctrine OF the seventeenth century
which originated among international
jurists. "Terre dominium finitur ubi
fnitur vis"--The sovereignty
over a territory extends as far as 1t
can be enforced by arms-Bynkers-
heck. Three miles at that time was
the range OF the heavy coast ord
nance; naval guns carried only about
half as far as that.
Since the seventeenth century the
range Of guns has increased to many
times the ancient limit. Jul heavy
ordnance hits o at a distance OF
twenty miles; naval battles are now
fought at a distance of eight To ten
miles. However, no State so far has
relied on thc natural consequence OF
the improvement OF the ordnance, ex-
tending its sovereignty beyond the an
cienf three mile limit to a distance OF
shore suitable to its power and proper
for its defence under the new condi-
tions.
Foreign m~en-of-war nowadays may
lie and do lie outside of our territorial
waters and interfere with the coast

They may keep within the range or
