LAW OF HIGH SEAS

ANYTHING that relates to the hlgn
seas, where ships of all nations sail,
must be regulated by international
law Radio in its very inception re-
lated almost exclusively to these hlsn-
ways of maritime commerce, hence
international laws We're necessary.
Although it might seem that the eX-
1stenre of the international radio
regulations would have hindered de-
yelopments, it was really the best
thing that could happen for radio that
the laws preceded its general aoop-
ton.

each country would have had its own

capped the universal adoption OF
radio. But it developed at sea, where
all nations were represented, and con,
sequently a more or less standaru
agreement was reached at an early
date.
While our first national laws did not
anticipate broadcasting, and later
amendments We're not specific regard
ing broadcasting, there were primary
laws governing land stations in eS-
istence prior to the time radio came
into general public use. And TO say
the least, they aided in keeping the
air lanes open to traffic and the sta
