since the passage of the traffic act

WORLD WIRELESS
CHANGE DEMANDED
Removal of Restrictions Chief
Aim of U. S. at Radio
Conference.
By the Associated Press.

Oy the ASsOCtdted FTeSS.
Removal of restrictions upon inter
national wireless operations, hereto.
fore imposed by international tele'
graphic conventions to which the
United States has not subscribed, is
can policy at the radio conference
now in session here.
The first steps to this end were con-
summated by the proposal of the
American delegates for the deletion OF
a clause in the existing international
radio regulations which stated that all
the provisions in the Paris Geographic
convention applicable to radio be
enforced. In substitution, the Ameri
cans suggested that each article OF
the Geographic convention be sep
arately studied by the present confer
ence and separately ratified for in.
clusion in the radio regulations ii
suitable.
The chief foreign delegations are
understood to oppose such a plan, and
yesterday only agreed with reserva.
tons that a committee composed OF
Americans and French list the ar
ticles of the Geographic convention
for study.
At present the anomalous situation
exists that American cable companies
are not bound by the provisions Of the
Paris telegraphic convention, since
the United States is not a party to
this agreement, while American radio
companies are subjected to the
clauses Of the Paris treaty because OF
this country's participation in the
the use of radio to insure safety of
ton.
Practically ali questions relating to
the use of radio to insure safety Of
life at sea would be shelyed for a
future conference If the proposals OF
foreign shipping concerns represented
at the conference were accepted, II
