The members of the commission shall each receive as compensation for their services the sum of $10 a day for each day’s service performed and, in addition, all necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties, to be paid from the funds of the said Lake Champlain Bridge Commission.

122

Article V

Agreement—Contd.

The Lake Champlain Bridge Commission shall have such additional powers and duties as may hereafter be delegated to or imposed upon it from time to time by the action of the legislature of either State, concurred in by the legislature of the other. Unless and until otherwise provided, it shall make an annual report to the governor of each State, setting forth in detail the operations and transactions conducted by it pursuant to this agreement, and any legislation thereunder, and which said report shall be submitted by the governor to the respective legislatures.

The Lake Champlain Bridge Commission shall not pledge the credit of either State, except by and with the authority of the legislature thereof.

Article VI

Each member of the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission, before entering upon his duties, shall take and subscribe the constitutional oath of office, which oath shall be filed in the office of the secretary of state of the State from which said commissioner is appointed.

The Lake Champlain Bridge Commission shall elect from its number a chairman and a vice chairman, and may appoint a secretary and treasurer, who need not be members of the commission, and such employees as it may require in the performance of its duties, and shall fix and determine their qualifications, duties, and compensation.

It shall adopt a seal and keep in well-bound books a record of all its meetings and proceedings, certificates, contracts, surety bonds, and corporate accounts, and shall maintain a suitable office where its maps, plans, documents, records and accounts shall be kept, subject to public inspection at such times and under such regulations as the commission shall determine.

Article VII Unless and until the revenues from operations conducted by the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission are adequate to meet all expenditures, the legislatures of the two States shall appropriate for the administrative expenses such sum or sums as shall be necessary and shall be recommended by the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission and approved by the governors of the two States in the following ratio, to wit: The State of New York shall appropriate 60 per centum thereof and the State of Vermont shall appropriate 40 per centum thereof. And unless and until otherwise determined by the action of the legislatures of the two States, the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission shall not incur any obligations for salaries, office, and other administrative expenses within the provisions of this article prior to the making of the appropriations by both States adequate to meet the same.

Article VIII Unless and until otherwise determined by the action of the legislatures of the two States, no action of the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission shall be binding, unless taken at a meeting at which at least two members of each State are present, and unless four votes are cast therefor, two from each State.

123

Article IX

Agreement—Contd.

The Lake Champlain Bridge Commission is hereby authorized to make suitable rules and regulations for the control of traffic across the bridge herein provided for, not inconsistent with the Constitution of the United States or of either State, and subject to the exercise of the power of Congress which, when concurred in or authorized by the legislatures of both States, shall be binding and effective upon all persons and corporations affected thereby.

Article X The two States shall provide penalties for violation of any order, rule, or regulation of the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission and for the manner of enforcing the same.

Article XI The commissioners of the two States shall have the power to apply to the Congress of the United States or any department of the United States for consent and approval of this agreement, and the bridge to be constructed thereunder by the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission pursuant to law or in the absence of such consent of Congress or of such department of the Federal Government, and until the same shall have been secured, this agreement shall be binding upon the State of New York, when ratified by it, and upon the State of Vermont, when ratified by it, provided, however, that such consent shall be obtained within three years from the date hereof.

Article XII The two States hereby agree that there shall be constructed a highway bridge between the State of New York and the State of Vermont as speedily as possible between a point heretofore selected by the aforesaid joint legislative committee and commission at Crown Point, in the county of Essex, and in the State of New

Ante, p. 62.

York, and a point so selected near Chimney Point, in the town of Addison, in the State of Vermont. Such bridge shall be built according to the plans and specifications of the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission, as approved by such duly constituted Federal authority as by law may be required. The State of New York agrees to pay the entire cost of all highway approaches to said bridge in the State of New York, and the State of Vermont agrees to pay the entire cost of all highway approaches to said bridge in the State of Vermont.

Article XIII

If, for the construction of said bridge, including approaches, it shall become necessary to acquire lands, rights, or property, and the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission shall be unable to purchase the same upon terms which they deem reasonable, then, and in such case, the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission may take, by right of eminent domain, lands, rights, and property necessary for the proper construction of said bridge and approaches thereto. In the State of Vermont, for the taking of such lands, rights, and property, the said commission shall have the same rights, powers, and duties as are vested in the selectmen of towns for the taking of land for highway purposes, and the provisions of chapter 191 of the General Laws of the State of Vermont, with amendments thereto, are hereby made applicable to all proceedings hereunder.

124

In the State of New York, if, for any of the purposes provided

Agreement—Contd.

herein, the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission shall find it necessary or convenient to acquire any real property in this State, then such Lake Champlain Bridge Commission may find and determine that such real property is required for a public use, and upon such due determination the said property shall be and shall be deemed to be required for such public use. Such real property may be acquired by such commission by gift or purchase or, in the event that such real property can not be so acquired, it may be acquired under the provisions of the condemnation law.

If it shall be necessary for the commission to set apart, out of any funds available therefor, any sum or sums to create a fund to be used for making compensation to owners of real property, or of any interest therein to be acquired for the purposes of this agreement, such fund shall be created within the State where such real property or interest therein is located, and shall not be used for any other purpose until such compensation has been duly made according to the law of the State wherein such real property or interest therein is located. The fund so created shall be deposited with the custodian authorized by law to receive and hold the same.

Article XIV

The State of New York agrees to provide and make available in the year 1927 the sum of $120,000 toward the cost of the construction of such bridge, and the State of Vermont agrees to provide and make available in the year 1927 the sum of $80,000 toward the cost of the construction of such bridge. Such funds shall be available for all costs incidental to the construction of the said bridge, but no part of such fund shall be used by the commission except for expenses of preparing specifications until this agreement also be ratified by the Congress of the United States.

No part of the said sum mentioned in this Article shall be payable by either State, unless the other State shall have made available to the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission the sum herein agreed to be made payable, the intent hereof being that each State shall cause to be paid over or made available to the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission, at such time as may be necessary, the sum herein set forth as an advance to the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission by the respective States for use in the construction of said bridge.

Article XV Upon the completion of the bridge, pursuant to this agreement, the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission shall cause the boundary line between the two States on said bridge to be appropriately marked and indicated.

Article XVI All accounts of the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission shall be audited jointly by the comptroller of the State of New York and the auditor of accounts of the State of Vermont and the report of such audit shall accompany the annual reports of said Lake Champlain Bridge Commission.

Article XVII

The balance of the money needed for the construction of the said bridge shall be raised by the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission on its own obligations secured by the pledge of the prop-125erty owned by said commission and the revenues and tolls arising

Agreement—Contd.

out of the use of the said bridge. As security for obligations so issued, and the moneys so appropriated, such property and such revenues and tolls arising out of the use of the said bridge shall be pledged as hereinafter provided to the repayment of the entire issue of bonds and other securities for the construction thereof, together with the interest and the repayment of the moneys paid over by the States, it being the declared policy of the States that the bridge, so far as the payment of bonds or other securities issued for the construction thereof, together with the repayment of the moneys advanced by the States, shall in all respects be self-sustaining; and the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission shall charge and maintain revenues and tolls for the use of the said bridge until all bonds and other securities issued for the construction thereof shall have been paid, and until the moneys so as aforesaid advanced by the States of New York and Vermont shall have been repaid, with interest at the rate of 4 per centum per annum.

The obligation for moneys so raised by the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission on its own obligations for the construction of the said bridge and purposes incidental thereto shall constitute a lien upon the property owned by said commission, and the revenues and tolls therefrom, in accordance with the terms upon which such moneys are raised, and any right or claim of the States, including that arising out of this agreement, shall be subordinated to such lien. The Lake Champlain Bridge Commission shall, however, pay into the State treasury of each State annually out of the revenues and tolls from the bridge a sum equal to 4 per centum upon the unpaid balance of the amount actually advanced to the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission by each State hereunder as interest for that year, together with at least 2 per centum of the principal of such advance, until the whole sum so advanced is repaid to the States, with accrued interest, provided that the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission shall not make such payments until it shall have accumulated a reserve fund, and only so long as and for the years in which it maintains such reserve fund equal to 10 per centum of its own obligations issued in relation to or for the construction of such bridge, over and above the sums required by the terms of such obligations to be set aside for amortization or a sinking fund, and unless in said year the tolls or revenues from the said bridge after the payment of all expenses for operation and maintenance are sufficient to satisfy the interest and other contractual requirements of said obligations: And provided further, That such payments shall not be made into the State treasury of either State unless there shall be available under the same conditions sufficient money to make payment on similar terms to the other State, and that if there exists such surplus revenue, but insufficient to make complete payment on such terms or conditions both to the States of New York and Vermont, then such surplus revenue shall be prorated in accordance with the respective unpaid balances of the advances made under the acts of the two States and such prorated sum shall be paid into the State treasury of each State in place and stead of the amount above provided, to be applied, first, upon interest accrued and unpaid, if any; second, upon the interest for the current year and the balance, if any, in reduction of the principal.

126

Article XVIII The States of New York and Vermont do hereby pledge

Agreement—Contd.

themselves, and it is hereby agreed with those subscribing to the obligations issued by the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission for the construction of such bridge and incidental purposes, that the States will not authorize the construction or maintenance of any other highway crossing for vehicular traffic over Lake Champlain between the two States in competition with the said bridge, nor will it limit or alter the rights vested in the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission to establish and levy such charges and tolls it may deem convenient and necessary to produce sufficient revenue to meet the expenses of maintenance and operation and to fulfill the terms of the obligations assumed by it in relation to such bridge until the said obligations, together with interest thereon, are fully met and discharged: Provided, That such crossings shall be considered as competitive with such bridge only if they shall form a highway connection for vehicular traffic between the two States across Lake Champlain within a distance of twenty-five miles from such bridge. The provisions of this article, when approved by the two States, shall constitute an agreement between the two States for the benefit of those lending money to the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission for the construction of such bridge, and the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission may include in the bonds or other evidences of its obligations issued by it for the construction of the said bridge, or incidental purposes, such part of this agreement as shall seem proper as evidence of the foregoing agreement made by the two States with the holders of the said bonds or other obligations.

Article XIX

The States agree that the construction of the said bridge herein authorized be by contract to be executed as follows:

The Lake Champlain Bridge Commission shall advertise for proposals for the construction of such bridge according to the plans, specifications, and estimate approved by it therefor. The advertisement shall be limited to a brief description of the work proposed to be done, with an announcement stating where the maps, plans, specifications, and estimate may be seen, the terms and conditions under which proposals will be received, the time and place where the same shall be opened, and such other matters as the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission may deem advisable to include therein. Such advertisement shall be published at least once in each week for two successive weeks in such newspapers as the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission may designate.

Each proposal shall specify the gross sum for which the work will be performed, and shall also include the amount to be charged for each item specified in the estimate. The Lake Champlain Bridge Commission may prescribe and furnish forms for the submission of such proposals, which shall be sealed, and may prescribe the manner of submitting the same, which shall not be inconsistent herewith. Accompanying each proposal there shall be a draft or certified check for 3 per centum of the amount of the gross sum bid, which check, in case such proposal be accepted, shall be retained by the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission until the contract, and the bond hereinafter provided for, shall have been duly executed, whereupon such check shall be returned to the bidder. In case the bidder, to whom the contract shall be awarded, shall fail to execute such contract and bond, the money represented by such draft or certified check shall be regarded as liquidated127 damages, and shall be forfeited to the Lake Champlain Bridge

Agreement—Contd.

Commission. The proposals, when opened, shall be subject at all reasonable times to public inspection, and at the time of opening shall be publicly read, and conspicuously posted in such a manner as to indicate the several items of the proposal.

The contract for the construction of such bridge shall be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, except that no contract shall be awarded at a greater sum than that required in the estimate made for such construction in accordance with the plans and specifications as approved. The lowest bid shall be deemed to be that which specifically states the lowest gross sum for which the entire work will be performed, including all the items specified in the estimate therefor.

If no proposal otherwise acceptable is made within the estimate accompanying the plans and specifications, the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission may cause the estimate to be amended.

The Lake Champlain Bridge Commission may reject any or all proposals, and may advertise for new proposals as above provided, if, in their opinion, the best interests of the States will thereby be promoted.

The Lake Champlain Bridge Commission shall prescribe the form of contracts and may include therein such matters as they may deem advantageous to the States.

The contractor, before entering into a contract for such construction, shall execute a bond in the form prescribed by the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission, with sufficient sureties, to be approved by the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission, conditioned that he will perform the work in accordance with the terms of the contract and with the plans and specifications, and that he will commence and complete the work within the time prescribed in the contract.

The bond shall also provide against any direct or indirect damages that shall be suffered or claimed on account of such construction during the time thereof and until such bridge is accepted.

The contract may provide for partial payment to an amount not exceeding 90 per centum of the value of the work done. Ten per centum of the contract price, where a bond approved by the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission is given, shall be retained until the entire work has been completed and accepted.

All contingencies arising during the prosecution of the work shall be provided for to the satisfaction of the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission, and as may be agreed upon in the original or by a supplemental contract executed by the commission; the amount to be expended shall not exceed the original estimate, unless such estimate shall have been duly amended by the commission. If a supplemental contract be executed by the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission for the performance of work or furnishing of material not provided for in the original contract, the amount to be charged thereunder for any such work or material shall not exceed the rate for which similar work or material was agreed to be performed or furnished under the original bid upon which the contract was awarded.

Article XX

The construction, maintenance, and operation of said bridge is in all respects for the benefit of the people of the two States, for the increase of their commerce and prosperity, and for the improvement of their health and living conditions, and the Lake128 Champlain Bridge Commission shall be regarded as performing

Agreement—Contd.

a governmental function in undertaking the said construction, maintenance, and operation, and in carrying out the provisions of law relating to the said bridge, and shall be required to pay no taxes or assessments upon any of the property acquired by it for the construction, operation, and maintenance of such bridge, and the interest of either State in any tolls collected under this article shall be free from any State, county, municipal, or local taxation whatsoever in the other State.

The obligations which may be issued by the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission for the construction of the bridge mentioned herein, or incidental thereto, shall be exempt from taxation and are to be legal securities in which all public officers and bodies of each State and of its municipal subdivisions, all insurance companies and associations, all savings banks and savings institutions, including savings loan associations, executors, administrators, guardians, trustees, and all other fiduciaries in each State may properly and legally invest the funds within their control.

Article XXI

It is the declared purpose of each of the contracting parties that this bridge will eventually be a free bridge, and to that end it is agreed that after the payment of all the obligations which may be issued against the bridge and the tolls and revenues thereof, and the State of New York and the State of Vermont shall have been fully repaid for any and all moneys that may have been advanced by them, together with all interest thereon, the Legislatures of the State of New York and the State of Vermont, subject to the approval of the governor of each State, by concurrent legislation, shall provide the method and procedure for the future operation, maintenance, and control of said bridge.

In witness whereof we have signed this compact or agreement by and under the authority of chapter 321 of the Laws of 1927 of the State of New York, and by and under the authority of act 139 of the acts and resolutions passed by the General Assembly of the State of Vermont at the twenty-ninth biennial session, 1927, this 11th day of May, 1927.

menominee-marinette bridge at bridge street relocation wisconsin highway commission with michigan state highway commissioner

This agreement, executed this 14th day of January, 1927, by and between Frank F. Rogers, State Highway Commissioner of the State of Michigan with offices at Lansing, Michigan, party of the first part; and the Wisconsin Highway Commission, with offices at Madison, Wisconsin, party of the second part:

Witnesseth that:

Whereas the existing interstate bridge, crossing the Menominee River at Bridge Street and joining the Municipalities of Marinette, Wisconsin, and Menominee, Michigan, is in an unsafe condition and requires early reconstruction; and Whereas a proper plan for reconstruction involves a relocation and includes a grade separation and expensive approach fills and properly extends as a project from the center of Dunlap Square in the city of Marinette to the center line of Ogden Avenue in the city of Menominee; and Whereas the State boundary line, as determined by the United States Supreme Court in a late decision, lies entirely north of the proposed actual structure spanning the Menominee River, and thereby complicates the respective responsibilities of the two parties hereto both as regards construction and maintenance obligations. Now, therefore, It is hereby agreed: 1. That this project shall, subject to changes to be hereafter mutually agreed upon as signified by joint approval of all subsequent plans and estimates, be built in accord with the preliminary plans prepared by the first party and marked “Exhibit A” and approved by the second party and hereto attached and considered as an integral part of this agreement, and that the detailed plans and specifications for the project shall be prepared by the first party subject to the approval of the second party. 2. That each party shall either directly or through the respective cities, townships, and counties within which the work is situated, furnish and bear the full cost of all right of way and abutting and property damages arising from or necessary to the execution of the plans as they may be finally, mutually, and jointly approved by the said parties, as applying to property situated on the side of the existing interstate boundary line subject to the jurisdiction of the respective parties hereto or the respective cities, townships, and counties within the respective States. 3. That aside from the stipulations stated in item 2 above, the entire cost of fully executing the project shall be borne equally by the respective parties hereto and that to this end any contribution or assessment, to be hereafter paid by the Chicago and North Western Railway Company and/or by the Chicago, Milwaukee and Saint Paul Railway Company and/or by any other public utility company affected by the project, shall be credited equally to the shares of the parties hereto and, further, 302

Agreement—Contd.

that any contribution or assessment, which may be arranged by either party to be paid by a county, township, or municipality within the respective States, shall be guaranteed by the respective parties hereto and that all payments and transactions in the handling of the construction of this project shall be directly between the parties hereto, each of whom agrees to act as its own collecting agent in dealing with the other contributing parties in their respective States. 4. All contracts shall be let jointly by the first and second parties hereto, who shall jointly constitute the first party to all such contracts and no contracts shall be let until after formal approval of awards by each party. The work of construction shall be administered under the joint supervision of the first and second parties as first party of all of the aforesaid contracts to be let under the terms of this agreement, but the second party hereto agrees that its inspection and supervision shall be administered through the representatives of the first party and not through direct dealings with the contractors, and that any matters of dispute in regard to the administration of the contracts shall be adjusted jointly by the bridge engineers of the respective parties hereto. Each party may retain such engineering assistance in supervising the work as it may deem necessary and the cost of such engineering, including office work and administration as may become necessary, shall be considered a legitimate charge to the project. Estimates to the contractor shall be paid direct by each party hereto, each in the amount of 50 per centum of the total estimated amounts due under the provisions of the specifications of the first party and as approved by the second party, all estimates being prepared by the first party at two week intervals or thereabouts, approved by the first party and submitted to the second party for approval, the second party making payment direct to the contractor on approval of estimates and the first party likewise making payment to the contractor on receipt of copies of the estimates after being approved by the second party. Authorizations for extra work will be handled in the same manner as the original contracts. The engineering costs on this project will be considered as including expenditures made by each party prior to the date of the execution of this agreement as well as all such costs subsequent thereto. 5. The work to be covered by this agreement is further indicated in an approximate preliminary estimate of cost known as Exhibit B, based on Exhibit A, attached herewith and considered as an integral part of this agreement. This estimate is for preliminary budget purposes, it being agreed that the shares of the respective parties shall be based upon the actual cost of the work. 6. For the purpose of future maintenance it is hereby agreed that the first and second parties shall, upon completion of this project, each maintain that portion of the project (or bear the expense of doing so) which lies north and south respectively of the center of the third span measured from the north end of the river structure. 7. That the first and second parties shall, through their respective United States Senators and Congressmen from the districts within which the project is situated, take the necessary steps to secure the approval of the United States Congress at the 1928 session, authorizing the construction of said project, 303and also the necessary approval of the United States War

Sec. 2. That it is hereby declared to be the sense of Congress that

Local contribution toward cost of flood control declared a sound principle.

the principle of local contribution toward the cost of flood-control work, which has been incorporated in all previous national legislation on the subject, is sound, as recognizing the special interest of the local population in its own protection, and as a means of preventing inordinate requests for unjustified items of work having no material national interest. As a full compliance with this principle

Considerations for not requiring it for adopted project.

Great expenditures heretofore made by local interests, national concern in control of the flood, gigantic scale of the project, etc.

in view of the great expenditure estimated at approximately $292,000,000, heretofore made by the local interests in the alluvial valley of the Mississippi River for protection against the floods of that river; in view of the extent of national concern in the control of these floods in the interests of national prosperity, the flow of interstate commerce, and the movement of the United States mails; and, in view of the gigantic scale of the project, involving flood waters of a volume and flowing from a drainage area largely outside the States most affected, and far exceeding those of any other river in the United States, no local contribution to the project herein adopted is required.

Sec. 3.

Except when authorized by the Secretary of War upon the

Assurances required of States, etc., before expenditure on any item of the project.

No liability of any kind shall attach to or rest upon the United States for any damage from or by floods or flood waters at any place:

Proviso.

Land or flowage rights to be acquired where levees not practicable, and lands subject to overflow, but are not now subject thereto by levees on opposite bank.

Provided, however, That if in carrying out the purposes of this Act it shall be found that upon any stretch of the banks of the Mississippi River it is impracticable to construct levees, either because such construction is not economically justified or because such construction would unreasonably restrict the flood channel, and lands in such stretch of the river are subjected to overflow and damage which are not now overflowed or damaged by reason of the construction of levees on the opposite banks of the river it shall be the duty of the Secretary of War and the Chief of Engineers to institute proceedings on behalf of the United States Government to acquire either the absolute ownership of the lands so subjected to overflow and damage or floodage rights over such lands.

[Pub. Res., No. 47.]

Pink bollworm of cotton.

Preamble.

Whereas a very serious emergency has arisen by reason of an outbreak of the pink bollworm involving some seven counties in the western extension of cotton in Texas which threatens one of the primary industries of the Nation and demands immediate action; and Whereas there are only two possible means of meeting this situation, one by regulating the movement of cotton and cottonseed from the newly infested counties with the idea of preventing long-distance spread through the agency of such products, and the other to declare and enforce noncotton zones as to such areas with the idea of the immediate eradication of the pest, with the object of saving the cotton crop of the Nation from general invasion and future enormous annual losses; and Whereas regulation does not eradicate nor does it prevent spread except as to districts so completely isolated from other cotton as to eliminate the possibility of the natural spread of the pest, and, therefore, the regulation of these new areas in contact with continuous cotton cultivation will necessarily permit the natural and probably very wide spread of this pest yearly, and will amount, therefore, to giving up the battle to save Texas and the rest of the Cotton Belt from general and probably wide invasion by the pink bollworm, accompanied by annual and greatly increasing costs of such regulation; and Whereas the only known means of eradication is by the establishment of noncotton zones for one or two years—a method which has a long record of successes, but which may become impossible as to such west Texas areas on account of natural spread and mounting costs if postponed; and Whereas the losses due to such zones must fall primarily and heavily upon a small group of farmers, and inasmuch as these losses are in the interest of the cotton crop of the Nation, compensation of such farmers for actual and necessary losses due to the enforced nonproduction of cotton would seem to be fully warranted; and Whereas the cost of the establishment of such noncotton zones in these new areas will be necessarily very large on account of the considerable cotton acreage involved—some three hundred and sixty thousand acres—costs which are in the interest of the entire Cotton Belt; and Whereas the State of Texas has now no funds available for such compensation of farmers and its legislature is not now in session and will not normally come in session for another year, and, further, the securing of such funds by the State would involve new legislation and new taxation very unlikely to be obtained in view of the amount involved, and the fact, as indicated, that such expenditure would be for the protection of the entire Cotton Belt: Therefore be it

Appropriation authorized to pay farmers for loss due to nonproduction, in noncotton zones established by a State to eradicate bollworm in affected area.

Post, p. 895.

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

That when any State shall have enacted legislation and taken measures, including the establishment and enforcement of noncotton zones, adequate, in the opinion of the Secretary of Agriculture, to eradicate the pink bollworm in any area thereof actually infested, or threatened, by such pest, the said Secretary, under regulations to be prescribed by him, is authorized to pay, out of $5,000,000 hereby authorized to be appropriated,

In cooperation with State authorities.

out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to be expended in cooperation with the proper authorities of the State concerned in compensating any farmer for his actual and necessary loss due to the enforced nonproduction of cotton within said zones: 689Provided, That no part of the funds herein authorized to be appropriated

Post, p. 1216.

That the appropriation herein authorized shall be available only for compensation for the crop of 1928 unless the State in which any noncotton zone is established shall thereafter appropriate and pay a sum in each year equal to the amount expended in such State by the United States under this authorization.

Whereas the United States Grain Corporation, in pursuance of said Executive order, and, for the purpose of carrying out and making effective the guaranteed price, made, and entered into, a certain contract, known as “the Grain Dealers’ Agreement,” with various independent and farmer grain firms and grain elevator companies in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Wyoming, and Oklahoma, and wherein it was agreed as follows:

Whereas the President, in an Executive order, dated August 21, 1920, did approve, ratify, and confirm all acts done or authorized by the said United States Grain Corporation in carrying out and making the guaranteed price effective; and Whereas a number of claims of the said grain dealers, for money earned under said contract, still remains unpaid: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Au nom de leur Gouvernement, les Plénipotentiaires d’Egypte

renouvellent les réserves expresses qu’ils ont formulées quant à la présence à la Conférence d’un Délégué représentant le Soudan. Ils déclarent, par ailleurs, que cette présence ne saurait porter atteinte aux droits de souveraineté de l’Égypte.

Les Plénipotentiaires de l’Espagne déclarent faire au nom de leur

Spain.

Post, p. 2547.

Gouvernement une réserve identique à celle des Plénipotentiaires des États-Unis d’Amérique relative à l’article 12.

Les Plénipotentiaires des États-Unis d’Amérique déclarent

United States.

Post, p. 2547.

formellement que la signature par eux de la Convention sanitaire internationale de ce jour ne doit pas être interprétée en ce sens que les États-Unis d’Amérique reconnaissent un régime ou une entité faisant fonction de Gouvernement d’une Puissance signataire ou adhérente alors que ce régime ou cette entité n’est pas reconnu par les États-Unis comme le Gouvernement de cette Puissance. Ils déclarent en outre que la participation des États-Unis d’Amérique à la Convention sanitaire internationale de ce jour n’entraîne aucune obligation contractuelle des États-Unis envers une Puissance signataire ou adhérente représentée par un régime ou une entité que les États-Unis ne reconnaissent pas comme correspondant au Gouvernement de cette Puissance, jusqu’au moment où elle sera représentée par un Gouvernement reconnu par les États-Unis.

Les Plénipotentiaires des États-Unis d’Amérique déclarent, d’autre part, que leur Gouvernement se réserve le droit de décider si, au point de vue des mesures à appliquer, une circonscription étrangère doit être considérée comme infectée, et de déterminer les mesures qui devront être appliquées dans des circonstances spéciales aux arrivées dans ses propres ports.

L’œuvre considérable accomplie par la Conférence Sanitaire

Ethiopian Empire.

Internationale et les nombreuses dispositions nouvelles qu’elle contient n’ayant pu être soumises par le télégraphe à Sa Majesté la Reine des Rois et à Son Altesse Impériale et Royale le Prince Tafari Makonnen, Héritier et Régent de l’Empire, le Délégué de l’Empire d’Éthiopie2542déclare qu’il doit s’abstenir de signer la Convention, avant d’avoir reçu les instructions nécessaires.

British Empire.

Les Plénipotentiaires britanniques déclarent que leur signature ne lie aucune des parties de l’Empire britannique, membre distinct de la Société des Nations, qui ne signerait pas séparément la Convention ou qui n’y donnerait pas son adhésion.

Ils déclarent, en outre, réserver le droit de ne pas appliquer les dispositions du 2^e alinéa de l’article 8 pour tous les Protectorats, Colonies, Possessions ou Pays sous mandat britannique qui seraient parties à la Convention et qui, pour des raisons d’ordre pratique, ne pourraient pas être en état do donner leur plein effet à ces dispositions relatives à la déclaration obligatoire dos maladies visées au dit article.

Cenada.

Le Délégué du Canada réserve pour son Gouvernement le droit de décider si, au point de vue des mesures à appliquer, une circonscription étrangère doit être considérée comme infectée et de déterminer les mesures qui devront être appliquées dans des circonstances spéciales aux arrivées dans les ports canadiens. Sous cette réserve, le Délégué du Canada déclare que son Gouvernement est prêt à prendre en considération les obligations de l’article 12 de la Convention et les renseignements officiels qu’il pourra recevoir au sujet de l’existence des maladies dans les pays étrangers.

India.

Le Délégué de l’Inde déclare qu’il est autorisé à signer la Convention Sanitaire Internationale sous la réserve que, pour des raisons d’ordre pratique, l’Inde n’est pas actuellement en état d’accepter l’obligation résultant de l’article 8 en ce qui concerne la déclaration obligatoire des maladies visées audit article, sauf dans les grandes villes ou en cas d’épidémie.

Les Plénipotentiaires britanniques déclarent et tiennent à faire constater que la réserves des Plénipotentiaires de la Perse sur l’article 90 ne peuvent en aucune façon modifier le statu quo actuel, en attendant un accord à intervenir entre les Gouvernements persan et britannique.

Finland.

Les Plénipotentiaires de la République finlandaise déclarent que, l’immunisation contre le choléra ne constituant pas une garantie suffisante, leur Gouvernement se réserve, nonobstant les dispositions de l’article 30, de soumettre à l’observation, le cas échéant, les personnes immunisées.

D’autre part, étant donné que le trafic par la frontière finlandaise ne peut emprunter que deux voies ferrées à l’Est, très voisines l’une de l’autre, et une seule voie ferrée à l’Ouest, ce qui ne permet pas d’envisager la fermeture partielle de la frontière, la Finlande, afin d’éviter la fermeture totale en cas d’épidémie, se réserve d’établir l’observation, le cas échéant, nonobstant les dispositions de l’article 58.

Japan.

Les Plénipotentiaires du Japon déclarent que leur Gouvernement se réserve la faculté: 1° de transmettre par l’entremise du bureau d’Orient de Singapour les notifications et renseignements dont l’envoi à l’Office International d’Hygiène publique est prescrit par la Convention; 2° de prendre les mesures que les autorités sanitaires jugent nécessaires en ce qui concerne les porteurs de vibrions cholériques.

Lithuania.

Les Plénipotentiaires de la Lithuanie déclarent que, tout en adhérant à la Convention, ils font des réserves expresses quant à sa mise en pratique entre la Lithuanie et la Pologne, tant que des relations normales entre les deux pays n’auront pas été rétablies.

Ces réserves présentent une importance particulière en ce qui concerne les dispositions des articles 9, 16, 57 et 66.

The Netherlands.

Les Plénipotentiaires des Pays-Bas déclarent au nom de leur Gouvernement que celui-ci se réserve, en ce qui concerne les Indes néerlandaises, de faire appliquer les mesures prévues à l’article 10, alinéa 2, également aux provenances de circonscriptions atteintes de peste murine.

Ils déclarent, en outre, que leur Gouvernement se réserve, en ce qui concerne les Indes néerlandaises, de donner à l’article 27–2° une2543interprétation dans ce sens que la destruction des rats visée à cet article peut être appliquée aux navires qui ont une cargaison provenant d’une circonscription atteinte de peste murine, si l’autorité sanitaire juge que cette cargaison est susceptible de renfermer des rats et qu’elle est arrimée de manière à empêcher les recherches prévues au dernier alinéa de l’article 24.

Les Plénipotentiaires de la Perse déclarent que rien ne justifie le

Persia.

maintien dans la Convention d’une disposition spéciale visant le Golfe Persiquc. Le fait que la Convention contient l’article 90, constituant la Section V du Titre II, les empêche de la signer sans faire les réserves les plus expresses. Les Plénipotentiaires de la Perse déclarent en outre que le statu quo ne saurait aucunement lier leur Gouvernement. Ils réservent, d’autre part, pour leur Gouvernement le droit de ne pas appliquer les dispositions de l’article 8 relatives a la déclaration obligatoire des maladies visées audit article.

Le Plénipotentiaire du Portugal déclare qu’il est autorisé par son

Portugal.

Gouvernement â signer la Convention ad referendum sous les réserves inscrites dans le procès-verbal de la dernière séance plénière.

Le Plénipotentiaire de la Turquie déclare que la Turquie n’a

Turkey.

renoncé par aucun traité à être représentée au Conseil sanitaire, maritime et quarantenaire d’Egypte. D’autre part, tenant compte des stipulations de la Convention des Détroits, signée à Lausanne, et des conditions spéciales des détroits du Bosphore et des Dardenelles, il réserve le droit pour l’Administration sanitaire de la Turquie de placer une garde sanitaire à bord de tout navire de commerce passant es détroits sans médécin et provenant d’un port infecté, afin d’éviter que le navire ne touche un port turc. 11 est entendu, toutefois, que les retards et les frais que pourrait entraîner cette garde seront minimes.

Les Plénipotentiaires de l’Union des Républiques Soviétistes

Soviet Socialist Republic.

Socialistes, rappelant la déclaration qu’ils ont faite, le 26 mai, à la séance de la première Commission au sujet de l’article 7 du projet de Convention, déclarent n’avoir pas d’objections à faire au sujet de la disposition relative au droit de l’Office International d’Hygiène Publique de conclure des arrangements avec d’autres organismes sanitaires; mais ils sont d’avis que ce droit résulte de l’arrangement de Rome de 1907 qui détermine les fonctions de l’Office. Ils estiment donc que la disposition ci-dessus visée, qui n’est que confirmation de ce droit, aurait dû figurer seulement dans le procès-verbal et ne pas constituer un article de la Convention elle-même.

Les Plénipotentiaires de l’Union des Républiques Soviétistes Socialistes rappellent que, lors de la discussion de l’article 12 de la Convention, ils ont voté contre la disposition qui prévoit le droit pour les Gouvernements de prolonger, dans des cas exceptionnels, l’application des mesures sanitaires, malgré la déclaration de l’Etat intéressé que le danger de la maladie n’existe plus.

Ils estiment que cette disposition pourrait toucher à un des principes fondamentaux des conventions antérieures et devenir la cause de malentendus pouvant surgir de son application.

Ils déclarent, en conséquence, que, dans l’esprit de la Convention, cette disposition ne peut être envisagée que dans des cas exceptionnels, quand le Gouvernement dont relève la circonscription atteinte ne remplit pas les obligations prévues par la Convention à ce sujet.

Les Plénipotentiaires des Républiques Soviétistes Socialistes rappellent les réserves qu’ils ont déjà faites dans la deuxième Commission au sujet des fonctions et des attributions du Conseil sanitaire, maritime et quarantenaire d’Égypte. Ils tiennent surtout à souligner qu’en particulier les Articles 70 et 164 donnent à ce Conseil le droit d’établir différents réglements de police sanitaire, maritime et quarantenaire sous la condition que ces réglements, pour devenir exécutoires, doivent être acceptés par les diverses Puissances représentées au Conseil.2544Comme l’Union des Républiques Soviétistes Socialistes n’a pas encore de Représentant dans le Conseil sanitaire, maritime et quarantenaire d’Égypte, la Délégation de l’Union tient à réserver le droit de son Gouvernement d’accepter ou de ne pas accepter les mesures élaborées par ce Conseil.

Formal acknowledge ment of reservations.

Les soussignés donnent acte des réserves ci-dessus exprimées et déclarent que leurs pays respectifs se réservent le droit d’en invoquer le bénéfice à l’égard des pays au nom desquels elles ont été formulées.

Art. 4.

Use of subsequent revenues.

From the sum of 80,000 pounds Egyptian derived from the fiscal years 1895 and 1896 there shall be deducted: 1st An amount equal to that which has been paid out in 1894 from the same receipts, to be applied to the deficit of said year 1894, so as to bring up to 40,000 pounds Egyptian the sums allotted to the extraordinary works provided for in article 1 for Tor, Suez, and Moses Spring; 2d the sums necessary in order to cover the deficit of the budget of the Quarantine Board for the fiscal years 1895 and 1896.

Beginning with the fiscal year 1897, this annual sum of 40,000 Egyptian pounds shall be used to cover possible deficits of the Quarantine Board.

Protocol of signature.

Protocol of Signature.

Meeting of plenipotentiaries.

The undersigned Plenipotentiaries met on the date of this day for the purpose of signing the International Sanitary Convention.

Reservations made.

German Empire.

The Plenipotentiaries of the German Empire referring to Article 25 make express reservations as to the power granted by the Convention to several governments to enforce the observation in case of bubonic plague.

2605

The Plenipotentiaries of Brazil declare they are empowered to

Brazil.

sign the Convention and referendum under the reservations entered in the minutes of the last plenary session.

The Plenipotentiaries of Chili declare that they join in the reservations

Chile.

made by the Plenipotentiaries of Brazil and Portugal.

The Plenipotentiaries of China express reservations in the name

China.

of their Government concerning the engagement appearing in Article 8, 2nd Section, that it would be compulsory to declare the diseases coming under the Convention.

In the name of their Government the Plenipotentiaries of Egypt

Egypt.

renew the express reservations made by them concerning the presence at the Convention of a delegate representing the Soudan. They furthermore declare that the said presence could not in any way affect the rights of sovereignty of Egypt.

The Plenipotentiaries of Spain declare they make in the name of

Spain.

their Government a reservation identical with that of the Plenipotentiaries of the United States of America concerning article 12.

The Plenipotentiaries of the United States of America formally

United States.

declare that their signing the International Sanitary Convention of this date is not to be construed to mean that the United States of

Ante, p. 2547.

America recognizes a régime or entity acting as Government of a signatory or adhering Power when that régime or entity is not recognized by the United States as the Government of that Power. They further declare that the participation of the United States of America in the International Sanitary Convention of this date does not involve any contractual obligation on the part of the United States to a signatory or adhering Power represented by a régime or entity which the United States does not recognize as representing the Government of that Power, until it is represented by a Government recognized by the United States.

The Plenipotentiaries of the United States of America declared, furthermore, that their Government reserves to itself the right to decide whether from the standpoint of the measures to be applied a foreign district is to be considered as infected and to decide what measures shall be applied to arrival in its own ports under special circumstances.

The great work accomplished by the International Sanitary Convention

Ethiopian Empire.

and the many new provisions carried could not be referred by telegraph to Her Majesty the Queen of the Kings and to His Imperial and Royal Highness Prince Tafari Makonnen, Heir to and Regent of the Empire and the Delegate of the Ethiopian Empire declares that he must refrain from signing the Convention before he receives the necessary instructions.

The British Plenipotentiaries declare that their signing does not

British Empire.

bind any part of the British Empire that is a distinct member of the League of Nations and would not sign separately or adhere to the Convention.

They further declared that they reserve the right not to apply the provisions of the 2nd subsection of article 8 to all the Protectorates, Colonies, Possessions or Countries under the British mandate which might be parties to the Convention and which on practical grounds might be unable to give full effect to those provisions relative to the compulsory declaration of the diseases referred to in the said article.

The Delegate of Canada reserves for his Government the right

Canada.

to decide whether from the viewpoint of the measures to be applied a foreign district is to be considered as infected and to decide what measures shall be applied to arrivals in Canadian ports under special circumstances. Subject to that reservation the Delegate from Canada declares that his Government is ready to take into consideration the obligations of article 12 of the Convention and the 2606official information it may receive concerning the existence of the diseases in foreign countries.

India.

The Delegate of India declares that he is authorized to sign the International Sanitary Convention under the reservation that on grounds of a practical nature India is not in a position to assume the obligations resulting from article 8 in so far as it has to do with the obligatory declaration of the diseases named in said article, except in large cities or in cases of epidemic.

The British Plenipotentiaries declare and wish to have it made a record that the reservation of the Plenipotentiaries of Persia about article 90 cannot in any way modify the present status quo pending an agreement to be arrived at between the Persian and British Governments.

Finland.

The Plenipotentiaries of the Finnish Republic declare that immunization from cholera does not constitute a sufficient guarantee and that their Government reserves to itself notwithstanding the provisions of article 30, the right to make, if the occasion arises, immune persons undergo observation.

On the other hand, considering that the traffic of the Finnish border could only go over two railways in the east very close to each other and a single railway in the west which docs not make it permissible to contemplate a partial closing of the frontier, Finland in order to avoid the complete closing in case of epidemic reserves to itself the right to set up observation if occasion arises notwithstanding the provisions in article 58.

Japan.

The Plenipotentiaries of Japan declare that their Government reserves to itself the right: 1. To forward through the Eastern bureau of Singapore the notices and information, the mailing of which to the International Office of Public Hygiene is required by the Convention; 2. To take such measures as the sanitary authorities may deem necessary with regard to carriers of cholera vibrios.

Lithuania.

The Plenipotentiaries of Lithuania declare that though adhering to the Convention, they make special reservations as to its being put into practice between Lithuania and Poland as long as normal relations between the two countries shall not have been restored.

These reservations are of particular importance with respect to the provisions in articles 9, 196, 57 and 66.

The Netherlands.

The Plenipotentiaries of The Netherlands declare in the name of their Government that it reserves to itself with regard to the Dutch East Indies to enforce the measures provided in article 10, sub-section 2 in the same degree to arrivals from districts afflicted with murine plague.

They further declare that their Government reserves to itself with respect to the Dutch East Indies the right to put on article 27–2 a construction to the effect that the destruction of rats referred to in that article may be applied to vessels taking a cargo from a district afflicted with murine plague when the sanitary authority believes that the cargo is likely to carry rats and is stowed in such a way as to make it impossible to affect the search provided in the last sub-section of article 24.

Persia.

The Plenipotentiaries of Persia declare that there is nothing warranting any special provision concerning the Persian Gulf being retained in the Convention. The fact that there is in the Convention article 90 constituting Section V of Title II, prevents their signing without making the most express reservations. The Plenipotentiaries of Persia further declare that the status quo could not in any way bind their Government. Again they reserve for their Government the right not to apply the provisions of article 8 relative to the obligatory declaration of the diseases coming under the said article.

2607

The Plenipotentiary of Portugal declares that he is authorized

Portugal.

by his Government to sign the Convention ad referendum with the reservations entered in the minutes of the last plenary session.

The Plenipotentiary of Turkey declares that Turkey would not

Turkey.

relinquish by any treaty the right of being represented in the Sanitary, Maritime and Quarantine Board of Egypt. On the other hand taking into consideration the stipulations in the Convention of the Straits signed at Lausanne and the special conditions of the Straits of Bosphorus and Dardanelles, he reserves the right for the Sanitary Administration of Turkey to put a sanitary guard on board any merchant vessel going through the Straits without a physician and coming from an infected port so as to prevent that vessel from calling at any Turkish port. It is understood, however, that the delay and expenses that such a guard may entail will be very slight.

The Plenipotentiaries of the Union of the Soviet Socialist

Soviet Socialist Republic.

Republics, calling to mind the declarations made by them on May 26, at the session of the first Commission concerning article 7 of the draft of Convention declare they have no objection to offer to the provisions relative to the right of the International Office of Public Hygiene to make arrangements with other sanitary agencies; but they are of the opinion that that right flows from the arrangement of Rome of 1907 which defines the functions of the Office. They therefore believe that the provision hereinabove referred to is but a confirmation of that right and should only appear in the minutes and not be made an article of the Convention itself.

The Plenipotentiaries of the Union of the Soviet and Socialist Republics call to mind that at the time article 12 of the Convention was under consideration they cast their votes against the provision granting the Governments the right to prolong in exceptional cases the application of sanitary measures notwithstanding the declaration of the State concerned that there is no longer any danger of the disease.

They hold that that provision may infringe upon one of the fundamental principles of the previous conventions and become a cause of misunderstanding that could arise from its application.

They therefore declare that in the spirit of the Convention that provision can only be considered in exceptional cases when the Government to which the afflicted district belongs does not meet the obligations laid down by the Convention in that respect.

The Plenipotentiaries of the Soviet Socialist Republics call to mind that the reservations already made by them in second Commission concerning the functions, duties and powers of the sanitary, maritime and quarantine board of Egypt. They particularly wish to emphasize the fact that articles 70 and 164 in particular confer upon that board the right to set up different sanitary, maritime and quarantine police regulations on condition that those regulations in order to be capable of execution must be accepted by the different Powers represented in the Council. Inasmuch as the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics is not yet represented in the sanitary, maritime and quarantine board of Egypt, the Delegation of the Union wishes to reserve the rights of its Government to accept or not to accept the measures worked out by that board.

The undersigned make a formal acknowledgment of the reservations

Formal acknowledgment of reservations.

hereinabove sot forth and declare that their own countries reserve to themselves the right to invoke the benefit thereof as against the countries in whose name they were made.

Agreement between United States and Germany extending jurisdiction of Mixed Claims Commission, United States and Germany.

[The Secretary of State to the German Ambassador]

Note from Secretary of State to German Ambassador.

Department of State,

Washington, December 31, 1928.

Excellency:

Proposition for agreement.

I have the honor to refer to your note of November 26, 1928, regarding the concluding of an agreement between the United States and Germany for the extension of the jurisdiction of the Mixed Claims Commission, United States and Germany, to include claims of the same character as those of which the Commission now has jurisdiction under the agreement between the two Governments

Vol. 42, p. 2200.

signed August 10, 1922, which were not filed in time to be submitted to the Commission under the terms of the notes exchanged at the time of signing that agreement but which were filed with the Department of State prior to July 1, 1928.

You state that your Government is prepared to do its share to bring about a settlement of these so-called late claims, but that it considers that the preparation and adjudication of the claims should be governed by the same legal principles as have so far been applied in the proceedings of the Mixed Claims Commission, and that means should be found by which a prompt and speedy preparation and adjudication of the claims involved may be fully guaranteed. Your Government suggests that as an appropriate means to this end, fixed and final terms should be agreed upon for the filing of claims and defense material, including the necessary evidence, and that a requirement should be made that all claims to be adjudicated by the Commission should be presented for judgment within a fixed period of time. You add that, owing to the fact that the adjudication of the late claims will necessitate the continuance of the expensive machinery of the Mixed Claims Commission for some months, which would not otherwise be necessary or which would not have been necessary to the same extent if the claims had been presented within the time prescribed by the agreement of August 10, 1922, your Government considers that the claimants for whom a remedy will thus be afforded should participate to an appropriate extent in the expenses which will result from the prolongation of the life of the Commission. This, you suggest, might be accomplished by the collection of a fee for the final filing of each claim, thus eliminating to the greatest possible extent claims which are unfounded or which are presented in unjustified amounts, and an additional fee for preparing and adjudicating the claim.

I desire to express my appreciation of the willingness of your Government to cooperate with my Government in an effort to complete the adjudication of the claims defined above. My Government, equally with your Government, is anxious that the work of the Mixed Claims Commission should be completed at the earliest date practicable and will use its best endeavors to that end. With respect to your suggestion that the claimants who will be benefited by an extension of time for the presentation of so-called late claims should share to an appropriate extent the additional expense incident to the prolongation of the labors of the Mixed Claims Commission, my 2699Government considers that it would not be feasible to require the deposit of a fee as a condition precedent to the adjudication of the claims. In an effort, however, to meet the views of your Government that it should be relieved of this additional expense, the President would be willing to recommend to the Congress that the one-half of one per cent, which the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized by the “Settlement of War Claims Act of 1928 ” to deduct from awards made by the Mixed Claims Commission before payment thereof to the claimants as reimbursement for the expenses of the United States incident to the adjudication of the claims, shall, in so far as regards the late claims, be made available to your Government for defraying such expenses as may be incurred by your Government in connection with the adjudication of such late claims. I, therefore, suggest

Terms suggested.

the following as the terms of the agreement between the two Governments:

(1) That all the late claims of American nationals against Germany,

American late claims to be presented within six months from February 1, 1929.

notice of which was filed with the Department of State prior to July 1, 1928, of the character of which the Mixed Claims Commission, United States and Germany, now has jurisdiction under the claims agreement concluded between the United States and Germany on August 10, 1922, shall be presented to the Commission with the supporting evidence within six calendar months from the first day of February, 1929; (2) That the answer of the German Government to each claim

German answer to be in six months after presentation.

presented shall, together with supporting evidence, be filed with the Commission within six calendar months from the date on which the claim is presented to the Commission, as provided for in paragraph 1; (3) That the subsequent progress of the claims before the Commission,

governed by the same legal principles as have so far been applied in the proceedings before the Mixed Claims Commission; (5)

That the President will recommend to the Congress that the

le terme “Administration” désigne une Administration gouvernementale.

Article 2.

Licenses.

Licence.

§1.

Requirements.

Aucune station radioélectrique émettrice ne pourra être établie ou exploitée par un particulier ou par une entreprise privée sans licence spéciale délivrée par le Gouvernement du Pays dont relève la station en question.

§2. Le titulaire d’une licence doit s’engager à garder le secret des correspondances, tant au point de vue télégraphique que téléphonique. En outre, il doit résulter de la licence qu’il est interdit de capter les correspondances radioélectriques autres que celles que la station est autorisée à recevoir et que, dans le cas où de telles correspondances sont involontairement reçues, elles ne doivent être ni reproduites par écrit, ni communiquées à des tiers, ni utilisées dans un but quelconque.

§3. Afin de faciliter la vérification des licences, il est recommandé d’ajouter, s’il y a lieu, au texte rédigé dans la langue nationale, une traduction de ce texte en une langue dont l’usage est très répandu dans les relations internationales.

Article 3.

Choice and calibration of apparatus.

Choix et étalonnage des appareils.

§1. Le choix des appareils et des dispositifs radioélectriques à employer par une station est libre, à condition que les ondes émises soient conformes aux stipulations de ce Règlement.

§2. (1) Les Administrations doivent prendre les mesures nécessaires pour s’assurer que les fréquencemètres (ondemètres) employés pour le réglage dos appareils de transmission soient étalonnés d’une façon aussi précise que possible, par comparaison avec leurs instruments-étalons nationaux. (2) En cas de contestation internationale, les comparaisons sont faites par une méthode de mesure absolue des fréquences.

Article 4.

Classification and use of radio emissions.

Classification et emploi des émissions radioelectriques.

§1. (1) Les émissions radioélectriques sont réparties en deux classes: A. Ondes entretenues. B. Ondes amorties,
définies comme suit: Classe A: Ondes dont les oscillations successives sont identiques en régime permanent. Classe B: Ondes composées de trains successifs dans lesquels l’amplitude des oscillations, après avoir atteint un maximum, décroît ensuite graduellement. (2) Les ondes de la Classe A comprennent les types ciaprès, qui sont définis comme suit: 2781 Type A1: Ondes entretenues non modulées. Ondes entretenues dont l’amplitude ou la fréquence varie sous l’effet d’une manipulation télégraphique. Type A2: Ondes entretenues modulées à fréquence audible. Ondes entretenues dont l’amplitude ou la fréquence varie suivant une loi périodique de fréquence audible combinée avec une manipulation télégraphique. Type A3: Ondes entretenues modulées par la parole ou par la musique. Ondes entretenues dont l’amplitude ou la fréquence varie suivant les vibrations caractéristiques de la parole ou de la musique. (3) La classification qui précède, en ondes Al, A2, et A3, n’empêche pas l’emploi, dans des conditions fixées par les Administrations intéressées, d’ondes modulées et/ou manipulées, par des procédés ne rentrant pas dans les définitions des types A1, A2, et A3. (4) Ces définitions ne sont pas relatives aux systèmes des appareils d’émission. (5) Les ondes seront désignées en premier lieu par leur fréquence en kilocycles par seconde (kc/s). A la suite de cette désignation sera indiquée, entre parenthèses, la longueur approximative en mètres. Dans le présent Règlement, la valeur approximative de la longueur d’onde en mètres est le quotient de la division du nombre 300000 par la fréquence exprimée en kilocycles par seconde.

§2. Les ondes émises par une station doivent être maintenues à la fréquence autorisée, aussi exactment que le permet l’état de la technique, et leur rayonnement doit être aussi exempt qui’il est pratiquement possible de toute émission qui n’est pas essentielle au type de la communication effectuée.

§3. Les Administrations intéressées fixent la tolérance admissible pour l’écart entre la fréquence moyenne des émissions et la fréquence notifiée; elles s’efforcent de profiter des progrès de la technique, pour réduire progressivement cette tolérance.

§4. La largeur d’une bande de fréquences occupée par l’émission d’une station doit répondre raisonnablement aux progrès techniques, pour le type de communication dont il s’agit.

§5. Dans le cas où des bandes de fréquences sont attribuées à un service déterminé, les stations de ce service doivent employer des fréquences suffisamment éloignées des limites de ces bandes, pour ne pas produire de brouillage nuisible dans le travail des stations appartenant aux services auxquels sont attribuées les bandes de fréquences immédiatement voisines.

Article 5. Distribution et emploi des fréquences (longueurs d’onde) et des types d’émission.

Allocation and use of frequencies (wave lengths) and types of emissions.

§1. Les Administrations des Pays contractants peuvent attribuer une fréquence quelconque et un type d’ondes quelconque à toute station radioélectrique sous leur autorité, à la seule condition qu’il n’en résulte pas de brouillages avec un service quelconque d’un autre Pays.

§2. Toutefois, ces Administrations sont d’accord pour attribuer, aux stations qui, en raison de leur nature même, sont supposées capables de causer de sérieux brouillages internationaux, des fréquences et des types d’ondes en conformité avec les règles de répartition et d’emploi des ondes, telles qu’elles sont indiquées ci-dessous.

§3. Les Administrations sont aussi d’accord pour considérer le tableau de répartition des bandes de fréquences (voir §7) comme un guide donnant, pour les différents services, les limites devant être respectées pour toutes les stations nouvelles et auxquelles devront être adaptées toutes les stations existantes, dans un délai 2782aussi court qu’il sera pratiquement possible de l’obtenir, sans diminuer la qualité du service que ces stations existantes assurent, et compte tenu de l’état actuel de leurs installations.

§4. Cependant, les fréquences de toutes les stations de radiodiffusion travaillant actuellement avec des fréquences inférieures à 300 kc/s (longueurs d’onde supérieures à 1000m) devront, en principe, être ramenées, au plus tard un an après la mise en vigueur du présent Règlement, soit dans la bande comprise entre 160 et 224 kc/s (longueurs d’onde 1875 à 1340m) soit dans la bande comprise entre 550 et 1500 kc/s (longueurs d’onde 545 à 200m).

§5. Aucune nouvelle station de radiodiffusion ne sera autorisée à travailler dans la bande de fréquences comprise entre 160 et 224 kc/s (longueurs d’onde 1875–1340m), à moins qu’il n’en résulte pas d’inconvénient pour les services de radiocommunication existants, y compris les services de radiodiffusion effectués par les stations qui utilisent déjà des fréquences entrant dans la dite bande, et les stations dont les fréquences seraient ramenées à l’intérieur de cette même bande, par application des dispositions du §4, ci-dessus.

§6. La puissance des stations de radiodiffusion existantes qui utilisent des fréquences inférieures à 300 kc/s (longueurs d’onde supérieures à 1000m) ne doit pas être augmentée, à moins qu’il n’en résulte pas d’inconvénient pour les services de radiocommunication existants.

§7.

Usages designated.

à 375 kc/s (longeur d’onde supérieure à 800m) sera interdit à partir du 1^er Janvier 1930, sous réserve des dispositions du §1 du présent Article, et sauf pour les stations terrestres existantes. (2) Aucune nouvelle installation d’émetteurs d’ondes du type B ne pourra être faite sur des navires ou des aéronefs à partir du 1^er Janvier 1930, sauf quand ces émetteurs, travaillant à pleine puissance, dépenseront moins de 300 watts mesurés à l’entrée du transformateur d’alimentation à fréquence audible. (3) L’usage des ondes du type B de toutes fréquences sera interdit à partir du 1^er Janvier 1940, sauf pour les émetteurs remplissant les conditions de puissance indiquées en (2) ci-dessus. (4) Aucune nouvelle installation d’émetteurs du type B ne pourra être faite désormais dans une station terrestre ou fixe. Les ondes de ce type seront interdites dans toutes les stations terrestres à partir du 1^er Janvier 1935.

2784

§9.

Uses—Continued.

L’emploi du type d’ondes A3 n’est pas autorisé entre 100 et 160 kc/s (3000 et 1875m).

§10. L’emploi du type d’ondes A2 n’est pas autorisé entre 100 et 150 kc/s (3000 et 2000m), sauf dans la bande 100–125 kc/s (3000–2400m) pour les signaux horaires exclusivement.

§11. Dans la bande 460–550 kc/s (650–545m) aucun type d’émission susceptible de rendre inopérants les signaux de détresse, d’alarme, de sécurité ou d’urgence, émis sur 500 kc/s (600m), n’est autorisé.

§12. En principe, toute station qui assure un service entre points fixes sur une onde de fréquence inférieure à 110 kc/s (longueur d’onde supérieure à 2725m) doit employer une seule fréquence, choisie parmi les bandes attribuées au dit service (§7 ci-dessus), pour chacun des émetteurs qu’elle comporte, susceptibles de fonctionner simultanément. Il n’est pas permis à une station de faire usage, pour un service entre points fixes, d’une fréquence autre que celle attribuée comme il est dit ci-dessus.

§13. En principe, les stations emploient les mêmes fréquences et les mêmes types d’émission pour les transmissions de messages par la méthode unilatérale que pour leur service normal. Toutefois, des arrangements régionaux peuvent être réalisés, en vue de dispenser les stations intéressées de se soumettre à cette règle.

§14. Afin de faciliter l’échange des messages météorologiques synoptiques, dans les régions européennes, deux fréquences entre 37,5 et 100 kc/s (longueurs d’onde entre 8000 et 3000m), seront attribuées à ce service par des arrangements régionaux.

§15. Pour faciliter la transmission et la distribution rapides des renseignements utiles à la découverte des crimes et à lu poursuite des criminels une fréquence entre 37,5 et 100 kc/s (longueur d’onde entre 8000 et 3000m), sera réservée, pour cet objet, par des arrangements régionaux.

§16. (1) Les fréquences assignées par les Administrations à toutes nouvelles stations fixes, terrestres ou de radiodiffusion dont elles ont autorisé ou entrepris l’installation doivent être choisies de manière à éviter, autant qu’il est possible, de brouiller les services internationaux effectués par les stations existantes, dont les fréquences ont déjà été notifiées au Bureau international. Dans le cas d’un changement do la fréquence d’une station existante fixe, terrestre ou de radiodiffusion, la nouvelle fréquence assignée à cette station doit satisfaire à la condition mentionnée ci-dessus. (2) Les Gouvernements intéressés s’entendent, en cas de besoin, pour la fixation des ondes à attribuer aux stations dont il s’agit ainsi que pour la détermination des conditions d’emploi des ondes ainsi attribuées. Si aucun arrangement en vue d’éviter les brouillages ne peut être réalisé, les prescriptions de l’Article 20 de la Convention peuvent être appliquées.

§17. (1) Chaque Administration avise promptement le Bureau international, lorsqu’elle décide ou autorise l’établissement d’une station de radiocommunication dont l’exploitation nécessite l’attribution, en vue d’un service régulier, d’une fréquence déterminée, inférieure à 37,5 kc/s (d’une longueur d’onde supérieure à 8000m), dans le cas où l’emploi de cette fréquence pourrait causer des brouillages internationaux sur des régions étendues. Cet avis doit parvenir au Bureau international quatre mois avant la construction de la station envisagée, de manière à permettre de régler les objections qu’une quelconque des Administrations pourrait soulever contre l’adoption de la fréquence proposée. (2) Dans le cas d’une station fixe à ondes courtes, destinée à effectuer un service régulier et dont le rayonnement serait susceptible de causer des brouillages internationaux, l’Administration intéressée 2785doit, en règle générale, avant l’achèvement de la station et en tout cas

Uses—Continued.

avant qu’elle soit ouverte au service, notifier au Bureau international la fréquence assignée à cette station. (3) Une telle notification n’est faite, toutefois, que lorsque l’Administration intéressée a acquis la certitude que le service dont il s’agit pourra être établi dans un délai raisonnable.

§18. (1) Chaque Administration peut attribuer aux stations d’amateurs

Amateur stations.

des fréquences choisies dans les bandes allouées aux amateurs, dans le tableau de répartition (§7 ci-dessus). (2) La puissance maximum que ces stations peuvent utiliser est fixée par les Administrations intéressées, en tenant compte des qualités techniques des opérateurs et des conditions dans lesquelles les dites stations doivent travailler. (3) Toutes les règles générales fixées dans la Convention et dans ce Règlement s’appliquent aux stations d’amateurs. En particulier, la fréquence des ondes émises doit être aussi constante et aussi exempte d’harmoniques que l’état de la technique le permet. (4) Au cours de leurs émissions, ces stations doivent transmettre leur indicatif d’appel à de courts intervalles.

Article 6. Service des stations expérimentales privées.

Service of private experimental stations.

§1. L’échange de communications entre stations expérimentales privées, de Pays différents, est interdit, si l’Administration de l’un des Pays intéressés a notifié son opposition à cet échange.

§2. Lorsque cet échange est permis, les communications doivent, à moins que les Pays intéressés n’aient pris d’autres arrangements entre eux, s’effectuer en langage clair et se limiter aux messages ayant trait aux expériences et à des remarques d’un caractère personnel pour lesquelles, en raison de leur manque d’importance, le recours au service télégraphique public ne saurait entrer en considération.

§3. Dans une station expérimentale privée, autorisée à effectuer des émissions, toute personne manœuvrant les appareils, pour son propre compte ou pour celui de tiers, doit avoir prouvé qu’elle est apte à transmettre les textes en signaux du Code Morse et à lire, à la réception radioélectrique auditive, les textes ainsi transmis. Elle ne peut se faire remplacer que par des personnes autorisées, possédant les mêmes aptitudes.

§4. Les Administrations prennent telles mesures qu’elles jugent nécessaires pour vérifier les capacités, au point de vue technique, de toute personne manœuvrant les appareils.

Article 7. Certificats des opérateurs.

Operators’ certificates.

§1. (1) Le service de toute station mobile, radio télégraphique ou radio téléphonique, doit être assuré par un opérateur radiotélé-graphiste, possesseur d’un certificat délivré par le Gouvernement dont dépend cette station. Toutefois, dans les stations mobiles pourvues d’une installation de radiotéléphonie de faible puissance (d’une puissance ne dépassant pas 309 watts alimentation), utilisable seulement pour le téléphonie, le service peut être assuré par un opérateur titulaire du seul certificat de radiotéléphoniste. (2) Dans le cas d’indisponibilité absolue de l’opérateur, au cours d’une traversée, d’un vol ou d’un voyage, le Commandant ou la personne responsable de la station mobile peut autoriser, mais à titre temporaire seulement, un opérateur possédant un certificat délivré par un autre Gouvernement contractant, à assurer le service 2786radioélectrique. Lorsqu’il devra être fait appel, comme opérateur provisoire, à une personne ne possédant pas de certificat suffisant, son intervention devra se limiter aux cas d’urgence. De toutes façons, l’opérateur ou la personne susvisés devront être remplacéx aussitôt que possible, par un opérateur en possession du certificat prévu au §1 (1) ci-dessus.

§2. Il y a deux classes de certificats et des certificats spéciaus, pour les opérateurs radiotélégraphistes et une classe de certificat pour les opérateurs radiotéléphonistes.

2789

Article 9. Procédure générale dans le service mobile.

General procedure in the mobile service.

§1. Dans le service mobile, la procédure détaillée ci-après est obligatoire, sauf le cas d’appel de détresse ou de correspondance de détresse, auquel sont applicables les dispositions de l’Article 19.

Post, p. 2801.

§2. (1) Avant de procéder à toute transmission, la station émettrice doit s’assurer qu’il ne se produira pas de brouillage excessif avec d’autres communications s’effectuant dans son rayon d’action, sur l’onde qu’elle va employer; s’il y a probabilité qu’un tel brouillage sera occasionné, elle attend le premier arrêt dans la transmission qu’elle pourrait troubler. (2) Si, malgré cette précaution, une transmission radioélectrique en cours est entravée par l’appel, celui-ci doit cesser à la première demande d’une station terrestre ouverte au service international de la correspondance publique ou d’une station aéronautique quelconque. La station qui demande cette cessation doit indiquer la durée approximative de l’attente imposée à la station dont elle arrête l’appel.

§3. Dans les relations radio télégraphiques du service mobile, la marche ci-après est suivie pour appeler une station: (1) a) La station appelante effectue l’appel en transmettant, au plus, trois fois l’indicatif d’appel de la station appelée et le mot DE suivi de trois fois, au plus, son propre indicatif d’appel. b) Pour produire cet appel, la station appelante utilise l’onde sur laquelle veille la station appelée. (2) La station appelée répond en transmettant, au plus, trois fois l’indicatif d’appel de la station appelante, le mot DE, son propre indicatif d’appel et, si elle est prête à recevoir le trafic, la lettre K (invitation à transmettre), suivie, si elle le juge utile, de l’abréviation appropriée et d’un chiffre indiquant la force des signaux reçus. (3) Si la station appelée est empêchée de recevoir, elle remplace, dans la formule de réponse, la lettre K par le signal ▪ ― ▪ ▪ ▪ (attente), suivi d’un nombre indiquant en minutes la durée probable de l’attente. Si cette durée probable excède 10 minutes, l’attente doit être motivée. (4) Lorsqu’il y a plusieurs radiotélégrammes à transmettre dansle même sens, ils peuvent être transmis par séries, avec le consentement de la station qui doit les recevoir. (5) Cette dernière station, en donnant son assentiment, indique le nombre de radiotélégrammes qu’elle est prête à recevoir en une série et fait suivre cette indication de la lettre K. (6) En principe, tout radiotélégramme contenant plus de 100 mots est considéré comme formant une série, ou met fin à une série en cours. (7) En règle générale, les longs radiotélégrammes, tant ceux en langage clair que ceux en langage convenu ou chiffré, sont transmis par tranches, chaque tranche contenant 50 mots dans le cas du langage clair et 20 mots ou groupes lorsqu’il s’agit de langage convenu ou chiffré. (8) A la fin de chaque tranche, le signal ▪ ▪ ― ― ▪ ▪ (?), signifiant: “Avez-vous bien reçu le radiotélégramme jusqu’ici?” est transmis. Si la tranche a été correctement reçue, la station réceptrice donne la lettre K et la transmission du radiotélégramme est poursuivie. (9) a) La transmission d’un radiotélégramme se termine par le signal ▪ ― ▪ ― ▪ (fin de transmission), suivi de l’indicatif d’appel de la station transmettrice et de la lettre K. 2790 b)

Mobile service procedure—Continued.

Dans le cas de la transmission par série, l’indicatif d’appel de la station transmettrice et la lettre K ne sont donnés qu’à la fin de la série. (10) a) L’accusé de réception d’un radiotélégramme est donné au moyen de la lettre R suivie du numéro du radiotélégramme; cet accusé de réception est précédé de la formule ci-après: indicatif d’appel de la station qui a transmis, mot DE, indicatif d’appel de la station qui a reçu. b) L’accusé de réception d’une série de radiotélégrammes est donné au moyen de la lettre R suivie du nombre des radiotélégrammes reçus, ainsi que des numéros du premier et du dernier télégramme composant la série. Cet accusé de réception est précédé de la formule définie ci-dessus. (11) La fin du travail entre deux stations est indiquée par chacune d’elles, au moyen du signal ▪ ▪ ▪ ― ▪ ― (fin de travail), suivi de son propre indicatif d’appel.

§4. (1) Si la station appelante a l’intention de transmettre son trafic avec un type d’onde ou/et sur une fréquence autres que ceux employés pour effectuer l’appel, elle fait suivre son propre indicatif d’appel des indications de service définissant le type d’onde ou/et la fréquence qu’elle se propose d’utiliser pour sa transmission. L’absence de ces indications de service signifie qu’elle n’a pas l’intention de changer de type d’onde ni de fréquence. (2) Si la station appelée désire que la station appelante transmette avec un type d’onde ou/et sur une fréquence autres que ceux utilisés pour l’appel, elle ajoute à la formule de réponse les indications de service définissant le type d’onde ou/et la fréquence dont elle demande l’emploi. L’absence de ces indications de service signifie qu’elle ne désire pas que le type d’onde ou/et la fréquence utilisés pour l’appel soient changés. (3) Si la station appelante a indiqué qu’elle va utiliser pour la transmission un type d’onde ou/et une fréquence autres que ceux avec lesquels elle a effectué l’appel, la station appelée, dans la formule de réponse, fait précéder la lettre K des abréviations permettant d’indiquer qu’à partir de ce moment, elle écoute sur le type d’onde ou/et la fréquence annoncés et qu’elle emploiera ellemême les dits type d’onde ou/et fréquence pour toute la durée de la communication. (4) Si la station appelante est une station terrestre pouvant, conformément aux dispositions du présent Règlement, employer une onde autre que celles qu’il est possible à la station mobile d’émettre elle peut, après avoir établi le contact, utiliser cette onde pour transmettre son trafic. Dans ce cas, la marche à suivre est celle définie ci-après: a) La station terrestre appelle la station mobile en employant l’onde sur laquelle celle-ci veille et, après avoir obtenu réponse l’informe au moyen de l’abréviation appropriée d’avoir à l’écouter par la suite sur l’onde qu’elle compte utiliser. b) Si la station mobile peut recevoir l’onde annoncée, elle donne la lettre K. Dans le cas contraire, elle informe la station terrestre, à l’aide de l’abréviation appropriée, de ce qu’il ne lui est pas possible de recevoir l’onde proposée et les deux stations s’entendent pour adopter une autre onde de travail. (5) La station terrestre conserve l’onde qu’elle a employée jusqu’ après la transmission du signal ▪ ▪ ▪ ― ▪ ― (fin de travail), suivi de son indicatif d’appel. Ce signal, suivi de l’indicatif d’appel, et répété par la station mobile sur l’onde internationale d’appel attribuée à son service. 2791 (6) Lorsque la station terrestre qui reçoit une demande de changer

Mobile service procedure—Continued.

le type d’onde ou/et la fréquence ne peut pas ou ne désire pas donner suite à cette demande, elle ne transmet pas le signal K, mais propose, en employant les abréviations appropriées, l’emploi d’un autre type d’onde ou/et d’une autre fréquence.

§5. (1) Sur l’onde de 500 kc/s (600 m) (ou sur une onde autorisée, dans le cas de communications avec une station d’aéronef), les pério des de travail continu entre deux stations ne doivent pas dépasser dix minutes environ; après chacune de ces périodes, un temps d’arrêt doit être observé, afin de permettre, éventuellement, à une autre station de lancer un appel de priorité ou de transmettre un message de priorité. (2) Sur les autres ondes affectées au service mobile maritime, la durée des périodes de travail continu est sous le contrôle de la station côtière. Dans le cas de communications entre deux stations de bord, c’est la station réceptrice qui détermine la durée des périodes de travail continu. (3) Dans les communications entre stations d’aéronef, la durée des périodes de travail continu est soumise au contrôle de la station d’aéronef qui reçoit, sous réserve de l’intervention, pour cet objet, de la station aéronautique. Dans les relations entre stations aéronautiques et stations d’aéronef, c’est la station aéronautique qui contrôle la durée des périodes de travail continu.

§6. Lorsqu’une station reçoit un appel sans être certaine que cet appel lui est destiné, elle ne doit pas répondre avant que l’appel n’ait été répété et compris. Lorsque, d’un autre côté, une station reçoit un appel qui lui est destiné, mais a des doutes sur l’indicatif d’appel de la station appelante, elle doit répondre immédiatement en utilisant le signal ▪ ▪ ― ― ▪ ▪en lieu et place de l’indicatif d’appel de cette dernière station.

§7. (1) Lorsqu’il est nécessaire de faire des signaux d’essai, aux fins de régler l’appareil avant de procéder à l’appel ou à la transmission, ces signaux ne doivent pas être produits pendant plus de 10 secondes environ, et ils doivent être constitués par une série de V, suivie de l’indicatif d’appel de la station qui opère. (2) Si une station émet des signaux d’essai à la demande d’une autre station, pour permettre à celle-ci de régler son appareil récepteur, ces signaux doivent également être constitués par une série de V, dans laquelle s’intercale plusieurs fois l’indicatif d’appel de la station émettrice.

Article 10. Appel général à toutes les stations mobiles.

General call to all mobile stations.

§1. Les stations qui désirent entrer en communication avec des stations mobiles, sans toutefois connaître les noms des stations mobiles qui sont dans leur rayon d’action, peuvent employer de signal de recherche CQ, remplaçant l’indicatif de la station appelée dans la formule d’appel, cette formule étant suivie de la lettre K (appel général à toutes les stations mobiles, avec demande de réponse).

§2. Dans les régions où le trafic est intense, l’emploi de l’appel CQ suivi de la lettre K est interdit, sauf en combinaison avec des signaux d’urgence.

§3. L’appel CQ non suivi de la lettre K (appel général à toutes les stations mobiles, sans demande de réponse) est employé pour les radiotélégrammes d’information générale, pour les signaux horaires, pour les informations météorologiques régulières, pour les avis généraux de sécurité et pour les informations de toute nature destinés à être lus par quiconque peut les recevoir.

2792

Article 11.

Interferences.

Brouillage.

§1. (1) L’échange de signaux superflus est interdit aux stations mobiles. Des essais et des expériences ne sont tolérés, dans ces stations, qu’autant qu’ils ne troublent point le service d’autres stations. (2) Chaque Administration apprécie, en vue de leur autorisation, si les essais ou les expériences proposés sont susceptibles de troubler le service des autres stations.

§2. Les essais et réglages, dans une station quelconque, doivent être conduits de façon à ne pas troubler le service des autres stations engagées dans une correspondance autorisée. Les signaux d’essai et de réglage doivent être choisis de telle manière qu’aucune confusion ne puisse se produire avec un signal, une abréviation, etc., d’une signification particulière, définie par le Règlement.

§3. Une station quelconque effectuant des émissions pour des essais, des réglages ou des expériences doit transmettre son indicatif d’appel à de fréquents intervalles, au cours de ces émissions.

§4. L’Administration ou l’exploitation privée qui formule une plainte en matière de brouillage doit, pour étayer et justifier celle-ci, déclarer qu’elle emploie régulièrement des appareils de réception d’un type équivalant au type le meilleur, utilisé dans la pratique courante du service dont il s’agit.

Article 12.

Reporting of Infractions.

(2) Le Bureau international veille à ce qu’un même indicatif d’appel ne soit pas attribué à plus d’une station, et à ce que les indicatifs d’appel qui pourraient être confondus avec les signaux de détresse ou d’autres signaux de même nature ne soient attribués à aucune station.

Article 15. Inspection des stations.

Inspection of stations.

§1. Les stations mobiles ayant leur port d’attache dans une Colonie, une Possession ou un Protectorat peuvent être considérées comme dépendant de l’Autorité de cette Colonie, de cette Possession ou de ce Protectorat, en ce qui concerne l’octroi des licences.

§2. Les Administrations compétentes des Pays où une station mobile fait escale peuvent exiger la production de la licence; celle-ci doit être conservée de telle façon qu’elle puisse être fournie sans délai. Lorsque la licence n’est pas produite ou que des anomalies manifestes sont constatées, ces Administrations peuvent procéder à l’inspection des installations radioélectriques, en vue de s’assurer qu’elles répondent aux conditions imposées par le présent Règlement.

§3. (1) Lorsqu’une Administration s’est trouvée dans l’obligation de recourir à la mesure prévue au §2 ci-dessus, elle on informe immédiatement l’Administration dont dépend la station mobile en cause. Pour le surplus, il est procédé, le cas échéant, ainsi que le prescrit l’Article 12. 2798 (2) Le délégué de l’Administration qui a inspecté la station doit, avant de quitter celle-ci, faire part de ses constatations au Commandant ou à la personne responsable (Article 8) ou à leur remplaçant.

§4. En ce qui concerne les conditions techniques et d’exploitation auxquelles doivent satisfaire, pour le service radioélectrique international, les stations mobiles titulaires d’une licence, les Gouvernements contractants s’engagent à ne pas imposer aux stations mobiles étrangères qui se trouvent temporairement dans leurs eaux territoriales ou s’arrêtent temporairement sur leur territoire des conditions plus rigoureuses que celles qui sont prévues dans le présent Règlement. Ces prescriptions n’affectent en rien les dispositions qui, étant du ressort de la Convention sur la sauvegarde de la vie humaine en mer, ne sont pas déterminées dans le présent Règlement.

Article 16.

Conditions to be observed by mobile stations.

Conditions à remplir par les stations mobiles.

§1. (1) Les stations mobiles doivent être établies de manière à se conformer, en ce qui concerne les fréquences et les types d’ondes, aux dispositions générales faisant l’objet de l’Article 5. Suivant ces dispositions, l’emploi, par les stations mobiles, des ondes amorties (type B), d’une fréquence inférieure à 375 kc/s (longueur d’onde supérieure à 800m), sera interdit à partir du 1^er Janvier 1930. (2) En outre, aucune nouvelle installation d’émetteurs d’ondes du type B ne pourra être faite dans les stations mobiles à partir du 1^er Janvier 1930, sauf quand ces émetteurs, travaillant à pleine puissance, dépenseront moins de 300 watts mesurés à l’entrée du transformateur d’alimentation à fréquence audible. (3) Enfin, l’emploi des ondes du type B de toutes fréquences sera interdit à partir du 1^er Janvier 1940, sauf pour les émetteurs remplissant les mêmes conditions de puissance que ci-dessus.

§2. (1) Toute station installée à bord d’un navire ou d’un aéronef effectuant un parcours maritime, navire ou aéronef obligatoirement pourvus d’appareils radioélectriques à la suite d’un accord international, doit pouvoir émettre et recevoir sur l’onde de 500 kc/s (600m), types A2 ou B. Les stations de bord doivent, en outre, pouvoir utiliser l’onde de 375 kc/s (800m), type A2 (ou B, sous réserve des dispositions du §1, ci-dessus). (2) Les stations d’aéronef doivent pouvoir émettre et recevoir l’onde de 333 kc/s (900m) types A2 ou A3 (ou B, sous réserve des dispositions du §1 ci-dessus).

§3. (1) En plus des ondes fixes visées ci-dessus, les stations mobiles équipées pour émettre des ondes des types A1, A2 ou A3 peuvent employer toutes les ondes autorisées à l’Article 5. (2) L’emploi des ondes du type B n’est autorisé que pour les fréquences (longueurs d’onde) ci-après:

425	705
454	660
500	600
665	450
1000	300
1364	220

(3) L’usage de l’onde du type B de 665 kc/s (450m) est interdit dès maintenant dans les régions où cette onde peut gêner la radiodiffusion. (4) L’emploi de l’onde du type B de 1000 kc/s (300m) pour le trafic est interdit, dès maintenant, entre 18 h 00 et 00 h 00, heure2799locale, et sera complètement interdit, à toutes heures, à partir du 1^er Janvier 1930, au plus tard, Toutefois, cette même onde du type B de 1000 kc/s (300m) pourra continuer indéfiniment et sans restrictions horaires, à être utilisée par les stations à bord des bateaux de pêche, pour les relèvements radiogoniométriques entre elles, à condition de ne pas gêner la radiodiffusion.

§4. Tous les appareils de stations mobiles établis pour la transmission d’ondes du type A1, entre 125 et 150 kc/s (2400–2000m) doivent permettre l’emploi de trois fréquences au minimum, choisies dans cette bande, et pouvoir assurer le passage rapide de l’une à l’autre de ces fréquences.

§5. (1) Toutes les stations à bord des navires obligatoirement Pourvus d’appareils radioélectriques, doivent être à même de recevoir onde de 500 kc/s (600m) et, en outre, toutes les ondes nécessaires à l’accomplissement du service qu’elles effectuent. (2) A partir du 1^er Janvier 1932, elles devront être à même de recevoir facilement et efficacement, sur les mêmes fréquences, les ondes des types A1 et A2.

§6. Les appareils d’émission utilisés dans le service mobile doivent être pourvus de dispositifs permettant d’en réduire la puissance. Cette disposition ne s’applique pas aux émetteurs dont la puissance d’alimentation ne dépasse pas 300 watts.

§7. Les appareils récepteurs doivent être tels, que le courant qu’ils induisent dans l’antenne soit aussi réduit que possible et n’incommode pas les stations du voisinage.

§8. Les changements de fréquence dans les appareils émetteurs et récepteurs de toute station mobile doivent pouvoir être effectu ésaussi rapidements que possible. Toutes les installations doivent être telles, que, la communication étant établie, le temps nécessaire au passage de l’émission à la réception et vice versa soit aussi réduit que possible.

Articlex 17. Ondes d’appel et d’écoute.

Call and listening waves.

§1. (1) Dans la bande comprise entre 360 et 515 kc/s (830–580m), les seules ondes admises en type B sont les suivantes: 375, 410, 425, 454 et 500 kc/s (800, 730, 705, 660 et 600m). (2) L’onde générale d’appel, qui doit être employée par toute station mobile portée par un navire obligatoirement équipé, et par les stations côtières, est l’onde de 500 kc/s (600m) (A1, A2 ou B). (3) En dehors de l’onde de 500 kc/s (600m) l’usage des ondes de tous types comprises entre 485 et 515 kc/s (620–580m) est interdit. (4) L’onde de 500 kc/s (600m) est l’onde internationale d’appel et de détresse. Elle peut être utilisée, mais avec discrétion, pour d’autres buts, si elle ne trouble pas les signaux de détresse, d’urgence de sécurité ou d’appel. (5) Les stations côtières doivent être en mesure de faire usage au moins d’une onde en plus de celle de 500 kc/s (600m). Cette onde additionnelle est soulignée dans la nomenclature, pour indiquer qu’elle est l’onde normale de travail de la station. Les ondes additionnelles ainsi choisies peuvent être les mêmes que celles des stations de bord, ou peuvent être différentes. En tous cas, les ondes de travail des stations côtières doivent choisies de manière à éviter les brouillages avec les stations voisines. (6) En dehors des ondes normales de travail soulignées dans la Nomenclature, les stations côtières et de bord peuvent employer, dans la bande autorisée, les ondes supplémentaires qu’elles jugent convenables. Ces ondes sont mentionnés dans la Nomenclature, sans être soulignées.

§2.

Call and listening waves—Continued.

(1) En vue d’augmenter la sécurité de la vie humaine sur mer (navires) et au-dessus de la mer (aéronefs), toutes les stations du service mobile maritime doivent, pendant la durée le leurs vacations, prendre les mesures utiles pour assurer l’écoute sur l’onde de détresse (500 kc/s = 600m) deux fois par heure, pendant trois minutes commençant à la 15^e minute et à la 45^e minute de chaque heure, temps moyen de Greenwich. (2) Les stations qui assurent un service de correspondance radiotélégraphique, de presse, etc., avec les navires en mer doivent observer le silence pendant le intervalles indiqués ci-dessus. Seules les émissions envisagées à l’Article 19, §§25 à 27 peuvent être effectuées pendant ces intervalles. (3) Toutefois, et à titre exceptionnel, les stations terrestres et de bord équipées pour correspondre à l’aide d’ondes entretenues peuvent continuer le travail pendant ces intervalles, si elles sont en mesure de maintenir en même temps une écoute satisfaisante sur l’onde de détresse, ainsi qu’il est prévu à l’alinéa (1) du présent paragraphe.

§3. Les règles ci-après doivent être suivies dans l’exploitation des stations du service mobile employant des ondes du type A1 de la bande de 100 à 160 kc/s (3000–1875m), laquelle est attribuée au service mobile. a) Toute station côtière assurant une communication sur une onde longue entretenue doit faire l’écoute sur l’onde de 143 kc/s (2100m) à moins qu’il n’en soit indiqué autrement dans la Nomenclature. La station côtière transmet tout son trafic sur l’onde ou sur les ondes qui lui sont spécialement attribuées. b) Lorsqu’une station mobile désire établir la communication sur une onde longue entretenue, avec une autre station du service mobile, elle doit employer l’onde de 143 kc/s (2100 m), à moins qu’il n’en soit indiqué autrement dans la Nomenclature. Cette onde, désignée comme onde de communication générale, doit être employée: 1° Pour la production des appels et des réponses aux appels. 2° Pour la transmission des signaux préalables à la transmission du trafic. c) Une station mobile, après avoir établi la communication avec une autre station du service mobile, sur l’onde de communication générale, peut transmettre son trafic sur une onde quelconque de la bande autorisée, à condition de ne pas troubler le travail d’une station côtière ou un travail en cours sur l’onde d’appel. d) En règle générale, toute station mobile équipée pour le service sur ondes longues entretenues et qui n’est pas engagée dans une communication sur une autre onde doit, en vue de permettre l’échange du trafic avec d’autres stations du service mobile, revenir sur l’onde de 143 kc/s (2100m) pendant 10 minutes, du commencement de la 35^eau commencement de la 45^e minute de chaque heure, temps moyen de Greenwich, durant les heures prévues, selon la catégorie à laquelle appartient la station envisagée. e) (1) Les stations côtières transmettent leurs listes de trafic à des heures déterminées, publiées dans la nomenclature, sur l’onde ou sur les ondes qui leur sont attribuées. (2) En dehors des heures ainsi fixées pour cette transmission de leurs listes de trafic, les stations côtières peuvent appeler individuellement les stations mobiles, à toute autre heure, selon les circonstances ou le travail qu’elles ont à effectuer. Ces appels individuels peuvent être émis sur l’onde de 143 kc/s (2100m), dans les régions où il n’y a pas congestion de trafic. f) Les dispositions particulières relatives au service assuré par les stations terrestres équipées en ondes longues entretenues sont précisées dans la nomenclature par un renvoi spécial.

Article 18. Installations de secours.

Emergency installations.

§1. La Convention sur la sauvegarde de la vie humaine en mer détermine quels sont les navires qui doivent être pourvus d’une installation de secours, et définit les conditions à remplir par les installations de cette catégorie.

§2. Pour l’utilisation des installations de secours, toutes les prescriptions du présent Règlement doivent être observées.

Article 19. Signaux de détresse, d’alarme, d’urgence et de sécurité. Signal de détresse.

Distress signal.

§1. Le signal de détresse consiste dans le groupe ▪ ▪ ▪ ― ― ― ▪ ▪ ▪ par lequel il est announcé qui le navire, ou l’aéronef ou tout autre véhicule portant la station qui l’envoie est sous la menace d’un danger grave et imminent, et demande une assistance immédiate.

Appel de détresse.

Distress call.

§2. (1) L’appel de détresse comprend le signal de détresse transmis trois fois, suivi du mot DE et de l’indicatif d’appel de la station mobile en détresse, transmis trois fois. Cet appel a priorité absolue sur toutes autres transmissions. Toutes les stations mobiles ou terrestres qui l’entendent doivent cesser immédiatement toute transmission susceptible de troubler les appels ou les messages de détresse, et écouter sur l’onde d’émission de rappel de détresse. Cet appel ne doit pas être adressé à une station déterminée. (2) Les mêmes règles s’appliquent à l’appel de détresse radiotéléphonique, qui consiste dans l’expression parlée MAYDAY (correspondant à la prononciation française de l’expression “m’aider”).

Message de détresse.

Distress message.

§3. Le message de détresse comprend l’appel de détresse suivi du nom du navire, de l’aéronef ou du véhicule en détresse, et des indications relatives à la position de celui-ci, à la nature de la détresse et à la nature du secours demandé.

§4. En règle générale, et quand il s’agit d’un navire, ou d’un aéronef au-dessus de ou sur la mer, la position doit être exprimée en latitude et longitude (Greenwich), en employant des chiffres pour les degrés et les minutes, accompagnés de l’un des mots NORTH ou SOUTH et de l’un des mots EAST ou WEST. Un point sépare les degrés des minutes. Eventuellement, le vrai relèvement et la distance en milles marins par rapport à un point géographique connu peuvent être donnés.

§5. L’appel et le message de détresse ne sont émis qu’avec l’autorisation du Commandant ou de la personne responsable du navire, de l’aéronef ou de tout autre véhicule portant la station mobile.

§6. Une station à bord d’un navire en détresse doit transmettre l’appel de détresse sur l’onde de 500 kc/s (600m) de préférence du type A2 ou B. Cet appel doit être suivi aussitôt que possible du message de détresse.

§7. L’appel de détresse et le message de détresse doivent être répétés par intervalles, jusqu’à ce qu’une réponse soit reçue, et notamment pendant les périodes de silence prévues à l’Article 17, §2. Les intervalles doivent, toutefois, être suffisamment longs, pour que les stations qui se préparent à répondre à l’appel aient e temps de mettre leurs appareils émetteurs en marche. Dans le cas où la station de bord en détresse ne reçoit pas de réponse à un appel de détresse ou à un message de détresse transmis sur l’onde 2802de 500 kc/s (600m), l’appel et le message peuvent être répétés sur toute autre onde disponible, à l’aide de laquelle l’attention pourrait être attirée.

§8. De plus, une station mobile qui constate qu’une autre station mobile est en détresse peut transmettre le message de détresse, à condition que: a) la station en détresse ne soit pas à même de le transmettre elle-même; b) le Commandant (ou son remplaçant) du navire, aéronef ou autre véhicule portant la station intervenante juge que d’autres secours sont nécessaires.

§9. (1) Les stations qui reçoivent un message de détresse d’une station mobile se trouvant, sans doute possible, dans leur voisinage, doivent en accuser réception immédiatement (voir §§15 et 16 ci-dessous), en prenant soin de ne pas troubler la transmission de l’accusé de réception du dit message effectuée par d’autres stations. (2) Les stations qui reçoivent un message de détresse d’une station mobile qui, sans doute possible, n’est pas dans leur voisinage doivent laisser s’écouler un court laps de temps avant d’en accuser réception, afin de permettre à des stations plus proches de la station mobile en détresse de répondre et d’accuser réception sans brouillage.

Distress traffic.

Trafic de détresse. §10. Le trafic de détresse comprend tous les messages relatifs au secours immédiat nécessaire à la station mobile en détresse.

§11. Tout trafic de détresse doit comprendre le signal de détresse, transmis avant l’heure de dépôt.

§12. La direction du travail de détresse appartient à la station mobile en détresse ou à la station mobile qui, par application des dispositions du §8, littera a), a produit l’appel de détresse. Ces stations peuvent céder la direction du travail de détresse à une autre station.

§13. Toutes les stations qui sont dans la zone des communications de détresse, mais qui ne prennent pas part à ces communications, doivent s’abstenir d’utiliser l’onde de détresse, jusqu’à ce que le travail de détresse soit terminé. Aussitôt ce travail établi sur l’onde de détresse, les stations mobiles qui n’y participent pas peuvent continuer leur service normal sur les autres ondes autorisées du type A1, si, en opérant ainsi, rien ne les empêche de bien percevoir le trafic de détresse.

§14. (1)

Lorsque le travail de détresse est terminé et que l’observation du silence n’est plus nécessaire, la station qui a eu la direction de ce travail transmet, sur Fonde de détresse, un message adressé à CQ, indiquant que le travail de détresse est terminé. Ce message affecte la forme suivante:

Indicatif d’appel CQ (trois fois), mot DE, indicatif d’appel de la station qui transmet le message, signal do détresse, heure de dépôt du message, nom et indicatif d’appel de la station mobile qui était en détresse, mots “trafic détresse terminé”.

(2) Ce message est répété, s’il y a lieu, sur les autres ondes sur lesquelles le travail de détresse a eu lieu.

Accusé de recéption d’un message de détresse.

Acknowledging of distress message.

Répétition d’un appel ou d’un message de détresse. §15.

L’accusé de réception d’un message de détresse est donné sous la forme suivante:

Indicatif d’appel de la station mobile en détresse (trois fois), mot DE, indicatif d’appel de la station qui accuse réception (trois fois), groupe RRR, signal de détresse.

2803

§16. Toute station mobile qui donne l’accusé de réception d’un message de détresse doit faire connaître aussitôt que possible son nom et sa position (sous la forme indiquée au §4), en prenant soin de ne pas troubler d’autres stations mieux placées pour apporter un secours immédiat à la station en détresse

§17. Si une station mobile employant des ondes entretenues, non comprises dans la bande de 485 à 515 kc/s (620–580m), entend un message de détresse émis sur l’onde de 500 kc/s (600m), en dehors des périodes do silence imposées sur l’onde de 500 kc/s (600m) et si le navire, aéronef ou autre véhicule portant cette station n’est pas à même de fournir du secours, la dite station doit prendre toutes les dispositions possibles pour attirer l’attention d’autres stations mobiles dans le voisinage, qui travaillent sur des ondes non comprises dans la bande susmentionné.

§18. Des répétitions de l’appel de détresse

Repetition of distress signals.

ou du message de détresse, par des stations mobiles autres que la station en détresse, ne sont permises que sur l’autorisation du Commandant (ou de son remplaçant) des dites stations, tout en prenant soin de ne pas produire du brouillage, par des répétitions inutiles.

§19. Une station qui répète un appel de détresse ou un message de détresse y ajoute, à la fin, le mot DE suivi de son propre indicatif d’appel, transmis trois fois.

§20. Dans le cas où une station reçoit un appel de détresse ou un message de détresse, mais n’est pas en mesure de fournir du secours et est portée à croire qu’il n’a pas été accusé réception du message de détresse, elle doit répéter ce message à toute puissance, sur l’onde de détresse, et prendre toutes les dispositions nécessaires pour aviser les autorités qui peuvent intervenir utilement.

Signal d’alarme automatique.

Automatic alarm signal.

§21. La composition du signal d’alarme automatique doit répondre aux conditions suivantes: a) Ce signal doit pouvoir être émis à la main ou par un appareil automatique sans difficulté, avec une précision, quant à la mesure du temps, qui ne doit pas être plus grande que celle d’une montre ou d’une horloge indiquant les secondes. b) Sa composition doit être nettement distincte et facilement reconnue par une personne ignorant le Code Morse, et elle doit pouvoir se prêter à la création facile et à bon marché d’un récepteur automatique qui: 1° répond au signal d’alarme, même lorsque de nombreux postes travaillent, et aussi quand il y a du brouillage atmosphérique; 2° n’est pas mis en action par des signaux puissants ou des atmosphériques, lorsque ceux-ci ne sont pas accompagnés du signal d’alarme; 3° possède une sensibilité égale à celle d’un récepteur détecteur cristal relié à la même antenne; 4° avertit quand son fonctionnement cesse d’être normal. c) Ladite composition doit être différente du signal employé pour le réglage et le fonctionnement du variomètre. d) Avant qu’un récepteur automatique d’alarme soit approuvé pour l’usage des vaisseaux se trouvant sous la dépendance d’une Administration, celle-ci doit être convaincue, par des expériences Pratiques faites dans des conditions de brouillage convenables, que I’appareil satisfait aux prescriptions de ce Règlement. e) Le signal d’alarme suivant est dès maintenant reconnu: une série de douze traits transmis en une minute, la durée de chaque trait étant de quatre secondes et la durée de l’intervalle entre deux traits, de une seconde. 2804 f) Ce signal spécial doit avoir pour seul but de faire fonctionner les appareils utilisés pour donner l’alarme. Il doit être uniquement employé pour annoncer que le signal de détresse va suivre. g) L’adoption du type de signal d’alarme mentionné en e) n’empêche pas une Administration d’autoriser l’emploi d’un appareil automatique qui répondrait aux conditions fixées ci-dessus et qui serait actionné par le signal réglementaire de détresse (▪ ▪ ▪ ― ― ― ▪ ▪ ▪).

Urgent signal.

Signal d’urgence. §22. (1) Le signal d’urgence consiste en plusieurs répétitions du groupe XXX, transmis en séparant bien les lettres de chaque groupe et les groupes successifs; il est émis avant un appel. Ce signal indique que la station appelante a un message très urgent à transmettre, concernant la sécurité du navire, de l’aéronef ou du véhicule qui la porte, d’un navire, aéronef ou autre véhicule en vue, ou encore la sécurité d’une personne quelconque se trouvant à bord ou en vue du bord. Dans le service radioaérien, l’expression PAN est utilisée comme signal d’urgence, en radiotéléphonie et en radiotélégraphie, lorsqu’une station d’aéronef veut signaler une avarie qui oblige l’aéronef à atterrir, sans nécessiter un secours immédiat. Dans le cas de la radiotélégraphie, les trois lettres doivent être bien séparées, afin que les signaux AN ne se transforment pas en signal P. (2) Le signal d’urgence a la priorité sur toutes autres communications, sauf celles de détresse, et toutes les stations mobiles ou terrestres qui l’entendent doivent prendre soin de ne pas brouiller la transmission du trafic d’urgence. (3) En règle générale, le signal d’urgence ne peut être employé que si la station mobile qui l’émet s’adresse à une station déterminée.

§23. (1) Les stations mobiles qui entendent le signal d’urgence doivent rester sur écoute pendant trois minutes, au moins. Passé ce délai, et si aucun message d’urgence n’a été entendu, elles peuvent reprendre leur service normal. (2) Toutefois, les stations terrestres et de bord qui sont en communication sur des ondes autorisées autres que celle utilisée pour la transmission du signal d’urgence et de l’appel qui le suit peuvent continuer sans arrêt leur travail normal.

§24. Le signal d’urgence ne peut être transmis qu’avec l’autorisation du Commandant ou de la personne responsable du navire, de l’aéronef ou de tout autre véhicule portant la station mobile.

Safety signal.

Signal de sécurité. §25. Le signal de sécurité consiste en la transmission du groupe TTT, en lettres bien séparées, suivi du mot DE et de l’indicatif d’appel de la station qui l’émet. Il annonce que cette station va transmettre un message concernant la sécurité de la navigation ou donnant d’importantes informations relatives aux messages d’avertissements météorologiques.

§26. Le signal de sécurité et le message de sécurité sont transmissur l’onde de 500 kc/s (600m) et, selon le cas, sur l’onde normale de veille des stations de bord et d’aéronef.

§27. Le signal de sécurité est transmis, une seule fois, pendant la première période de silence qui se présente (Article 17, §2) et cela vers a fin de cette période. Toutes les stations qui le perçoivent doivent rester sur écoute sur l’onde normale d’appel (stations de bord) ou sur l’onde autorisée (stations d’aéronef), jusqu’à ce que le message annoncé par le signal de sécurité soit terminé. La transmission de ce message commence immédiatement après la fin de la période de silence.

Article 22.

Address of radiotelegrams.

Adresse des radiotélégrammes.

§1. (1) L’adresse des radiotélégrammes à destination des stations mobiles doit être aussi complète que possible; elle est obligatoirementlibellée comme suit: a) Nom ou désignation du destinataire, avec indication complémentaire, s’il y a lieu; b) Nom du navire ou, dans le cas d’un aéronef, indicatif d’appel, tels qu’ils figurent dans la première colonne de la Nomen-clature; c) Nom de la station terrestre chargée de la transmission, tel qu’ilfigure à la Nomenclature. (2) Toutefois, le nom et l’indicatif d’appel prévus au Â§1 (1) b)peuvent être remplacés, aux risques et périls de l’expéditeur, parindication du parcours effectué par la station mobile, ce parcoursétant déterminé par le nom des ports de départ et d’arrivée ou partoute autre mention équivalente. (3) Lors de la réexpédition, sur les voies de communication duréseau général, d’un radiotélégramme reçu d’une station mobile, la station terrestre transmet comme origine le nom de la station mobiled’où émane le radiotélégramme, tel que ce nom figure à la nomenclature, suivi du nom de ladite station terrestre.

§2 (1) Les stations mobiles autorisées à ne pas être pourvues de laNonemclature officielle des bureaux télégraphiques peuvent fairesuivre le nom du bureau télégraphique de destination du nom de lasubdivision territoriale et, éventuellement, du nom du Pays dedestination, si elles doutent que, sans cette adjonction, l’achemine-ment puisse être assuré sans hésitation. (2) Le nom du bureau télégraphique et les indications complémentaires ne sont, dans ce cas, comptés et taxés que pour un seul mot.L’agent de la station terrestre qui reçoit le radiotélégramme maintientou supprime ces indications, ou encore modifie le nom du bureau dedestination, selon qu’il est nécessaire ou suffisant pour diriger leradiotélégramme sur sa véritable destination.

Article 23.

2807

Article 24. Appels.

Calling.

§1. (1) En règle générale, il incombe à la station mobile d’établir la communication avec la station terrestre; elle ne peut appeler la station terrestre, dans ce but, qu’après être arrivée dans le rayon d’action de celle-ci. (2) En principe, une station terrestre ayant du trafic pour une station mobile qui ne lui a pas signalé sa présence, ne doit appeler cette station que si elle est en droit de supposer que ladite station mobile est à sa portée et assure l’écoute.

§2. (1) Toutefois, les stations terrestres peuvent transmettre leur liste d’appels, formée des indicatifs d’appel de toutes les stations mobiles pour lesquelles elles ont du trafic en instance, à des intervalles déterminés, ayant fait l’objet d’accords conclus entre les Gouvernements intéressés. Les stations terrestres qui émettent leurs appels sur l’onde de 500 kc/s (600m) transmettent les indicatifs d’appel de leur liste, par ordre alphabétique; les stations terrestres qui utilisent les ondes entretenues transmettent ces indicatifs d’appel dans l’ordre qui leur paraît convenir le mieux. (2) En tous cas, les stations mobiles qui, dans cette transmission, perçoivent leur indicatif d’appel doivent répondre aussitô;t qu ’elles le peuvent, en se conformant aux prescriptions du Â§1 ci-dessus et en observant entre elles, autant que possible, l’ordre dans lequel elles ont été appelées. L’heure à laquelle les stations terrestres transmettent leur liste d’appels ainsi que les fréquences et les types d’ondes qu’elles utilisent à cette fin sont mentionnés dans la nomenclature. (3) La station terreste fait connaître à chaque station mobile intéressée la fréquence et le type d’onde qui seront utilisés pour le travail avec elle, de même que l’heure approximative à laquelle ce travail pourra commencer.

§3. Quand une station terrestre reçoit, pratiquement en même temps, des appels de plusieurs stations mobiles, elle décide de l’ordre dans lequel ces stations pourront lui transmettre leur trafic, sa décision s’inspirant uniquement de la nécessité de permettre à chacune des stations appelantes d’échanger avec elle le plus grand nombre possible de radiotélégrammes.

§4. (1) Lorsqu’une station terrestre répond à l’appel d’une station mobile, elle peut, si elle le juge nécessaire, lui demander, à l’aide des abréviations appropriées, d’indiquer le nombre de radiotélégrammes en instance.

(2) Si des renseignements concernant la position, l’itinéraire, la vitesse ou les escales du navire, de l’aéronef ou de tout autre véhicule portant la station mobile, paraissent nécessaires à la station terrestre, celle-ci les demande par un avis de service gratuit adressé au Commandant ou à la personne responsable du navire, de l’aéronef ou du véhicule portant la station mobile, qui les fournit ou non, sous sa responsabilité. La station mobile ne doit donner des renseignements de cet ordre à la station terrestre qu’après qu’ils auront été demandés et fournis comme il est dit ci-dessus.

§5. Dans les communications entre stations cô;tières et stations mobiles, la station mobile se conforme aux instructions données par la station cô;tière, dans toutes les questions relatives à l’ordre de transmission, à l’heure de transmission et à la suspension du travail. Cette prescription ne s’applique pas aux cas de détresse.

§6 Dans les échanges entre stations mobiles et sauf dans le cas de détresse, la station appelée a le contrô;le du travail, comme il est indiqué au Â§5 ci-dessus.

2808

§7 (1) Lorsqu’une station appelée ne répond pas à l’appel émis trois fois, à des intervalles de deux minutes, l’appel doit cesser et il ne peut être repris que 15 minutes plus tard. La station appelante, avant de recommencer l’appel, doit s’assurer que la station appelée n’est pas, à ce moment, en communication avec une autre station. (2) L’appel peut être répété à des intervalles moins longs, s’il n’est pas à craindre qu’il viendra brouiller des communications en cours.

§8 Lorsque le nom et l’adresse de l’exploitant d’une station mobile ne sont pas mentionnés dans la nomenclature ou ne sont plus en concordance avec les indications de celle-ci, il appartient à la station mobile de donner d’office à la station terrestre à laquelle elle transmet du trafic, tous les renseignements nécessaires, sous ce rapport, en utilisant, à cette fin, les abréviations appropriées.

Article 25.

Time of filing radiotelegrams.

Heure de dépô;t des radiotélégrammes.

§1 . Pour indiquer l’heure de dépô;t des radiotélégrammes acceptés dans les stations mobiles, le préposé se base sur le temps moyen de Greenwich, et utilise la notation suivant le cadran de 24 heures. Cette heure est toujours exprimée et transmise à l’aide de quatre chiffres (0000 à 2359).

§2 . Toutefois, les Administrations des Pays situés en dehors de la Zone “A” (Appendice 6) peuvent autoriser les stations des navires longeant les cô;tes de leur Pays à utiliser le temps du fuseau pour l’indication, en un groupe do quatre chiffres, de l’heure de dépô;t, et dans ce cas, le groupe doit être suivi de la lettre F.

Article 26.

Routing of radiotelegrams.

Direction à donner aux radiotélégrammes.

§1 (1) En principe, la station mobile qui fait usage d’ondes du type A2, A3 ou B transmet ses radiotélégrammes à la station terrestre la plus proche. (2) Toutefois, lorsque la station mobile peut choisir entre plusieurs stations terrestres se trouvant approximativement à la même distance, elle donne la préférence à celle qui est située sur le territoire du Pays de destination ou de transit normal des radiotélégrammes à transmettre. Quand la station choisie n’est pas la plus proche, la station mobile doit cesser le travail ou changer de type ou de fréquence d’émission à la première demande faite par la station terrestre du service intéressé qui est réellement la plus proche, demande motivée par le brouillage que ledit travail cause à celle-ci.

§2. La station mobile qui emploie des ondes du type Al, comprises dans la bande autorisée, peut transmettre ses radiotélé grammes à une station terrestre qui n’est pas la plus proche. Il est, toutefois, recommandé, en ce cas, de donner la préférence à la station terrestre établie sur le territoire du Pays de destination ou du Pays qui paraît devoir assurer le plus rationnellement le transit des radio télégrammes à transmettre.

§3. (1) Une station cô;tière, à laquelle une ou plusieurs ondes comprises dans la bande de 125-150 kc/s (2400-2000m) sont allouées, possède sur cette ou sur ces ondes un droit de préférence. (2) Toute autre station du service mobile transmettant un trafic public sur cette ou sur ces ondes, et causant ainsi du brouillage à adite station cô;tière, doit suspendre son travail à la demande de cette dernière.

§4. Sauf dans les cas de détresse, les communications entre stations de bord ne doivent pas troubler le travail des stations cô;tières. Lorsque ce travail est ainsi troublé, les stations de bord qui en sont 2809la cause doivent cesser leurs transmissions ou changer d’onde, à la première demande de la station cô;tière qu’elles gênent.

§5. Si l’expéditeur d’un radiotélégramme déposé dans une station mobile a désigné la station terrestre à laquelle il désire que son radiotélégramme soit transmis, la station mobile doit, pour effectuer cette transmission à la station terrestre indiquée, attendre éventuellement que les conditions prévues aux paragraphes précédents soient remplies.

§6. (1)

Une station mobile qui n’a pas de vacations déterminées doit communiquer à la station terrestre avec laquelle elle est entrée en relation l’heure de clô;ture et l’heure de réouverture de son service.

Toute station mobile dont le service est sur le point de fermer pour cause d’arrivée dans un port doit en avertir la station terrestre a plus proche.

Article 27. Onde à employer en cas de détresse.

Distress waves.

En cas de détresse, l’onde de 500 kc/s (600m) doit être, de préférence, utilisée en type A2 ou B. Lorsqu’il n’est pas possible d’employer un de ces types d’ondes, le type Al ou A3 peut être utilisé. Aucune disposition du présent Règlement ne peut faire obstacle à l’emploi, par une station mobile en détresse, de tous les moyens dont elle dispose pour attirer l’attention, signaler sa situation et obtenir du secours.

Article 28. Mesures propres à réduire les interférences.

Reducing interferences.

§1. Dans le cas où des ondes autres que l’onde normale peuvent être employées, la station de bord suit les instructions de la station cô;tière avec laquelle elle est en correspondance. En principe, l’onde normale de 500 kc/s (600m) ne doit pas être utilisée pour la transmission de longs radiotélégrammes dans les régions où le travail radioélectrique est intense.

§2. Pendant leurs heures de service, les stations utilisant, pour leur travail, des ondes du type A2, A3 ou B et ouvertes au service international de la correspondance publique doivent rester en écoute sur Fonde de 500 kc/s (600m), sauf pendant qu’elles échangent du trafic sur d’autres ondes.

§3. En règle générale, il est recommandé de transmettre le trafic se rapportant à la correspondance publique sur des ondes du type Al plutô;t que sur des ondes du type Á2 ou B.

§4. Toutes les stations du service mobile sont tenues d’échanger le trafic avec le minimum d’énergie rayonnée, nécessaire pour assurer une bonne communication.

Article 29. Avis de non-remise.

Advice of nondelivery.

§1. Lorsque, pour une cause quelconque, un radiotélégramme originaire d’une station mobile et destiné à la terre ferme ne peut pas être remis au destinataire, il est émis un avis de non-remise adressé à la station terrestre qui a reçu le radiotélégramme de la station mobile. Cette station terrestre, après vérification de l’adresse, réexpédie l’avis à la station mobile, si cela est possible, au besoin par l’intermédiaire d’une station terrestre du même Pays ou d’un Pays voisin, pour autant que la situation existante ou, éventuellement, des accords particuliers le permettent.

§2. Quand un radiotélégramme parvenu à une station mobile no peut pas être remis, cette station en informe le bureau ou la station 2810mobile d’origine, par un avis de service. Dans le cas d’un radiotélégramme émanant de la terre ferme, cet avis de service est transmis, autant que possible, à la station terrestre par laquelle le radiotélégramme a transité ou, le cas échéant, à une autre station terrestre du même Pays ou d’un Pays voisin, pour autant que la situation existante ou, éventuellement, des accords particuliers le permettent.

Article 30.

Period of retention of radiotelegrams at land stations.

Délai de séjour des radiotélégrammes dans les stations terrestres.

§1. (1) Lorsque la station mobile à laquelle est destiné un radio télégramme n’a pas signalé sa présence à la station terrestre dans le délai indiqué par l’expéditeur ou, à défaut d’une telle indication, jusqu’au matin du cinquième jour qui suit le jour du dépô;t, la station terrestre en informe le bureau d’origine, qui prévient l’expéditeur. Celui-ci peut demander, par avis de service taxé, télégraphique ou postal, adressé à la station terrestre, que son télégramme soit retenu jusqu’à l’expiration du quatorzième jour à compter du jour de dépô;t; en l’absence d’un tel avis, le radiotélégramme est mis au rebut à la fin du septième jour. (2) Toutefois, il n’est pas tenu compte de l’expiration de l’un quelconque des délais visés ci-dessus, quand la station terrestre a la certitude que la station mobile entrera prochainement dans son rayon d’action.

§2. D’autre part, l’expiration des délais n’est pas attendue quand la station terrestre a la certitude que la station mobile est sortie définitivement de son rayon d’action. Si elle présume qu’aucune autre station terrestre de l’Administration ou de l’entreprise privée dont elle dépend n’est en liaison avec la station mobile, la station terrestre annule le radiotélégramme en ce qui concerne son parcours entre elle et la station mobile, et informe du fait le bureau d’origine, qui prévient l’expéditeur. Dans le cas contraire, elle le dirige sur la station terrestre présumée en liaison avec la station mobile, à condition toutefois qu’aucune taxe additionnelle n’en résulte.

§3. Lorsqu’un radiotélégramme ne peut pas être transmis à une station mobile, par suite de l’arrivée do celle-ci dans un port voisin de la station terrestre, cette dernière station peut, éventuellement, faire parvenir le radiotélégramme à la station mobile par d’autres moyens de communication.

Article 31.

Meteorological services. Time signals.

Notices to navigators.

Services spéciaux. A. Services météorologiques. Signaux horaires. Avis aux navigateurs.

§1. Les messages météorologiques synoptiques de prévision et de situation générale et les signaux horaires doivent être transmis, en principe, conformément à un horaire déterminé. Les radiotélé grammes de cette classe, destinés aux stations mobiles, doivent être émis, autant que possible, aux heures où leur réception peut se faire par celles de ces stations n’ayant qu’un seul opérateur (voir

Post, p. 2833.

Appendice 5); la vitesse de transmission doit être choisie de telle manière que la lecture des signaux soit possible à un opérateur ne possédant que le certificat de 2^e classe.

§2. Pendant les transmissions “à tous” des signaux horaires et des messages météorologiques destinés aux stations du service mobile, toutes les stations de ce service, dont les transmissions brouilleraient la réception des signaux et messages en question, doivent observer le silence, afin de permettre à toutes les stations qui le désirent, de recevoir les dits signaux et messages.

2811

§3. Les messages d’avertissements météorologiques et les avisintéressant la sécurité de la navigation présentant un caractèred’urgence pour les services mobiles sont transmis immédiatement etdoivent être répétés à la fin de la première période de silence qui seprésente (voir Article 17, Â§2). Ces messages et avis doivent êtreémis sur les fréquences attribuées au service mobile auquel ils sontdestinés; leur transmission est précédée du signal de sécurité TTT.

§4 . En plus des services réguliers d’information prévus dans lesparagraphes précédents, les Administrations prennent les mesuresnécessaires pour que certaines stations soient chargées de communi-quer, sur demande, des messages météorologiques aux stations duservice mobile.

§5. Dans un intérêt de brièveté et de bonne utilisation par lesstations mobiles, les observations météorologiques transmises par lesstations du service mobile doivent, en principe, être rédigées suivantun code météorologique international.

B. Service des stations radiogoniomètriques.

Radio compass stations services.

§6. Les Administrations sous l’autorité desquelles sont placées lesstations radiogonioraétriques n’acceptent aucune responsabilité quantaux conséquences d’un relèvement inexact.

§7. Ces Administrations notifient, pour être insérées dans laNomenclature des stations radiotélégraphiques, les caractéristiquesde chaque station radiogoniométrique, en indiquant, pour chacuned’elles, les secteurs dans lesquels les relèvements sont normalementsûrs. Tout changement en ce qui concerne ces renseignementsdoit être publié sans retard; si le changement est d’une nature perma-nente, il doit être communiqué au Bureau international.

§8. (1) En service normal, les stations, radiogoniométriquescô;tières doivent être à même de prendre et de fournir des relèvementsaux stations de bord, soit sur la fréquence de 500 kc/s (600m) seule-ment, soit sur la fréquence de 375 kc/s (800m) seulement, soitindifféremment sur l’une et l’autre de ces deux fréquences. (2) Une station d’aéronef désirant avoir un relèvement doit, pourle demander, appeler sur l’onde de 333 kc/s (900m) ou sur une ondeaffectée à la route aérienne sur laquelle vole l’aéronef. Dans tous lescas où une station d’aéronef, étant à proximité de stations cô;tières, s’adresse à celles-ci pour obtenir un relèvement, elle doit faire usagede la fréquence de ces stations cô;tières.

§9 La procédure à suivre dans le service radiogoniométrique est

Post, p. 2835.

donnée à P Appendice 8.

C. Service des radiophares.

Radiobeacon service.

§10. (1) Lorsqu’une Administration juge utile, dans l’intérêt de la navigation maritime et aérienne, d’organiser un service de radiophares, elle peut employer pour ce but: a) des radiophares proprement dits, établis sur terre ferme ou sur dos navires amarrés d’une façon permanente; ils sont à émission circulaire ou à émission directionnelle; b) des stations fixes, des stations cô;tières ou des stations aéronautiques désignées pour fonctionner aussi comme radiophares, à la demande des stations mobiles. (2) Les radiophares proprement dits emploient des ondes de 285 à 315 kc/s (105-950m) des types Al et A2, exclusivement. (3) Les autres stations notifiées comme radiophares utilisent leur fréquence normale et leur type normal d’émission.

§11. Les signaux émis par les radiophares doivent permettre d’effectuer une bonne mesure au radiogoniomètre; ils doivent être choisis 2812de manière à éviter tout doute, lorsqu’il s’agit de distinguer entre deux ou plusieurs radiophares.

§12. Les Administrations qui ont organisé un service de radiophares n’acceptent aucune responsabilité quant aux conséquences de relèvements inexacts obtenus au moyen des radiophares de ce service.

§13. (1) Les Administrations notifient, pour être insérées dans la Nomenclature des stations radiotélégraphiques, les caractéristiques de chaque radiophare proprement dit et de chaque station désignée pour fonctionner comme radiophare, y compris, s’il est nécessaire, l’indication des secteurs dans lesquels les relèvements sont normalement sûrs. (2) Toute modification ou toute irrégularité de fonctionnement survenant dans le service des radiophares doit être publiée sans délai; si la modification ou l’irrégularité de fonctionnement est d’une nature permanente, elle doit être notifiée au Bureau international.

Article 32.

Accounting.

Comptabilité.

§1. (1) Les taxes terrestres et de bord n’entrent pas dans les comptes télégraphiques internationaux.

(2) Les comptes concernant ces taxes sont liquidés par les Administrations des Pays intéressés. Ils sont établis mensuellement par les Administrations dont dépendent les stations terrestres, et communiqués par elles aux Administrations intéressées.

§2. Dans le cas où l’exploitant des stations terrestres n’est pas l’Administration du Pays, cet exploitant peut être substitué, en ce qui concerne les comptes, à l’Administration de ce Pays.

§3. Pour les radiotélégrammes originaires des stations mobiles, l’Administration dont dépend la station terrestre débite l’Administration dont dépend la station mobile d’origine des taxes terrestres, des taxes afférentes aux parcours sur le réseau général des voies de communication—qui seront dorénavant appelées taxes télégraphiques—des taxes totales perçues pour les réponses payées, des taxes terrestres et télégraphiques perçues pour le collationnement, des taxes afférentes à la remise par exprès, par poste ou par poste-avion et des taxes perçues pour les copies supplémentaires des télégrammes multiples. Les radiotélégrammes sont traités au point de vue de la comptabilité entre la station terrestre et le bureau de destination comme des télégrammes originaires du Pays où est établie la station terrestre.

§4. Pour les radiotélégrammes à destination d’un Pays situé au delà de celui auquel appartient la station terrestre, les taxes télégraphiques à liquider conformément aux dispositions ci-dessus sont celles qui résultent soit des tableaux des tarifs afférents à la correspondance télégraphique internationale, soit d’arrangements spéciaux conclus entre les Administrations de Pays limitrophes et publiés par ces Administrations, et non les taxes qui pourraient être perçues en appliquant des minima par télégramme ou des méthodes d’arrondir les prix par télégramme de quelque manière que ce soit.

§5. Pour les radiotélégrammes et les avis de service taxés, à destination des stations mobiles, l’Administration dont dépend le bureau d’origine est débitée directement, par celle dont dépend la station terrestre, des taxes terrestres et de bord plus les taxes terrestres et de bord (des radiotélégrammes) applicables au collationne ment, mais seulement dans le cas où le télégramme a été transmis à la station mobile. L’Administration dont dépend le bureau d’origine est toujours débitée, de Pays à Pays, s’il y a lieu, par la voie des comptes télégraphiques, et par l’Administration dont dépend la station terrestre, des taxes totales afférentes aux réponses payées. En ce 2813qui concerne les taxes télégraphiques et les taxes relatives à la remise

Accounting—Continued.

par poste ou par poste-avion et aux copies supplémentaires, il est opéré, pour ce qui regarde les comptes télégraphiques, conformément à la procédure télégraphique normale. L’Administration dont dépend la station terrestre crédite, pour autant que le radiotélé gramme ait été transmis, celle dont dépend la station mobile destinataire: de la taxe de bord, s’il y a lieu, des taxes revenant aux stations mobiles intermédiaires, de la taxe totale perçue pour les réponses payées, de la taxe de bord relative au collationnement, des taxes perçues pour les copies supplémentaires des télégrammes multiples et des taxes perçues pour la remise par poste ou par posteavion.

§6. Les avis de service taxés et les réponses aux télégrammes avec réponse payée sont traités, dans les comptes radio télégraphiques, c’est-à-dire les comptes portant sur l’acheminement dans le service mobile, sous tous les rapports comme les autres radiotélégrammes.

§7. Pour les radiotélégrammes échangés entre stations mobiles, a)

par l’intermédiaire d’une seule station terrestre:

L’Administration dont dépend la station terrestre débite celle dont dépend la station mobile d’origine: de la taxe terrestre, de la taxe télégraphique territoriale, s’il y a lieu, et de la taxe de la station mobile de destination. Elle crédite l’Administration dont dépend la station mobile de destination de la taxe de bord revenant à cette station.

par l’intermédiaire de deux stations terrestres:

L’Administration dont dépend la première station terrestre débite celle dont dépend la station mobile d’origine de toutes les taxes perçues, déduction faite des taxes revenant à cette station mobile. L’Administration dont dépend la seconde station terrestre—qui est celle chargée de transmettre le radiotélégramme à la station mobile destinataire—débite directement l’Administration dont dépend la première station terrestre des taxes afférentes à cette transmission, mais seulement dans le cas où le radiotélégramme a été transmis à la station mobile.

§8. Pour les radiotélégrammes qui sont acheminés, à la demande de l’expéditeur, en recourant à une ou deux stations mobiles intermédiaires, chacune de celles-ci débite la station mobile de destination, s’il s’agit d’un radiotélégramme destiné à une station mobile, ou la station mobile d’origine, quand le radiotélégramme provient d’une station mobile, de la taxe de bord lui revenant pour le transit.

§9. En principe, la liquidation des comptes afférents aux échanges entre stations mobiles se fait directement entre les exploitants de ces stations, l’exploitant dont dépend la station d’origine étant débité par celui dont dépend la station de destination.

§10. (1) Les comptes mensuels servant de base à la comptabilité spéciale des radiotélégrammes, visés aux paragraphes qui précèdent, sont établis radiotélégramme par radiotélégramme, avec toutes les indications utiles et dans un délai de trois mois à partir du mois auquel ils se rapportent. Le délai peut dépasser trois mois, quand des difficultés exceptionnelles se présentent dans le transport postal des documents entre les stations radioélectriques et les Administrations dont elles dépendent. (2) Sauf entente contraire, les comptes mensuels servent de décompte et leur vérification, leur acceptation et leur liquidation doivent être opérées dans un délai de six mois prenant cours à la date de leur envoi, sauf quand des difficultés exceptionnelles se prèsentent dans le transport des documents, par suite de la très longue durée des voyages. (3) Lorsque la constatation de différences s’oppose à l’acceptation d’un compte, le solde en est néanmoins payé dans le délai de six 2814

mois mentionné ci-dessus et les rectifications reconnues nécessairesultérieurement sont comprises dans un compte mensuel subséquent.Les soldes des comptes qui n’ont pas été payés dans ledit délai,éventuellement augmenté du délai résultant des difficultés exception-nelles de transport envisagées plus haut, sont productifs d’intérêts,à raison de 7% par an, à dater du lendemain du jour de l’expirationdu délai de six mois, prolongé, le cas échéant, comme il est dit ci-dessus. (4) La liquidation et le règlement des comptes présentés plus dedeux ans après la date de dépô;t des radiotélégrammes auxquels cescomptes se rapportent peuvent être refusés par l’Administrationdébitrice.

§11. Les Gouvernements se réservent la faculté de prendre entre eux et avec les exploitations privées intéressées des arrangementsspéciaux, en vue de l’adoption d’autres dispositions concernant la comptabilité.

L’Administration supérieure de la Confédération suisse est désignée pour organiser la Division des services radioélectriques du Bureau international de l’Union télégraphique mentionné à l’Article 16 de la Convention; elle en a la haute surveillance, contrô;le les dépenses, fait les avances nécessaires et établit le compte annuel. Ce compte est communiqué à toutes les autres Administrations.

§3. Les sommes avancées par l’Administration qui contrô;le le Bureau international, pour les besoins des services radioélectriques, doivent être remboursées, par les Administrations débitrices, dans le plus bref délai et, au plus tard, dans les trois mois qui suivent la date de la réception du compte. Passé ce délai de trois mois, les sommes dues sont productives d’intérêts, au profit de l’Administration créditrice, à raison de sept pour cent (7%) l’an, à compter du jour de l’expiration du délai susmentionné.

General instructions.

Instructions générales. A. Avant d’appeler une ou plusieurs stations radiogoniomêtriques, la station mobile, pour demander son relèvement, doit rechercher dans la Nomenclature: 1°. Les indicatifs d’appel des stations à appeler pour obtenir les relèvements radiogoniomêtriques qui l’intéressent. 2°. L’onde sur laquelle les stations radiogoniomêtriques veillent, et l’onde ou les ondes sur lesquelles elles prennent les relèvements. 3°. Les stations radiogoniomêtriques qui, grâce à des liaisons par fils spéciaux, peuvent être groupées avec la station radio goniométrique à appeler. B. La procédure à suivre par la station mobile dépend de diverses circonstances. D’une façon générale, elle doit tenir compte de ce qui suit: 1°. Si les stations radiogoniomêtriques ne veillent pas sur la même onde, que ce soit l’onde pour l’opération du relèvement ou une autre onde, les relèvements doivent être demandés séparément à chaque station ou groupe de stations utilisant une onde donnée. 2°. Si toutes les stations radiogoniomêtriques intéressées veillent sur une même onde, et si elles sont en mesure de prendre des relèvements sur une onde commune—qui peut être une autre onde que l’onde de veille—il y a lieu de les appeler ensemble, afin que les relèvements soient pris par toutes ces stations à la fois, sur une seule et même émission. 3°. Si plusieurs stations radiogoniomêtriques sont groupées à l’aide de fils spéciaux, une seule d’entre elles doit être appelée, même si toutes sont munies d’appareils émetteurs. Dans ce cas, la station mobile doit cependant, s’il est nécessaire, mentionner dans l’appel, au moyen des indicatifs d’appel, les stations radiogoniomêtriques dont elle désire obtenir des relèvements. II.

Rules of procedure

Règles de procédure. A. La station mobile appelle la ou les stations radiogonio métriques sur l’onde indiquée à la nomenclature comme étant leur onde de veille. Elle transmet l’abréviation QTE, qui signifie:

“Je désire connaître mon relèvement radiogoniométrique par rapport à la station radiogoniométrique à laquelle je m’adresse”

2836

“Je désire connaître mon relèvement radiogoniométrique par rapport à la ou les stations dont les indicatifs d’appel suivent”

Rules of procedure—continued.

“Je désire connaître mon relèvement radiogoniométrique par rapport aux stations radiogoniométriques groupées sous votre contrô;le”

le ou les indicatifs d’appel nécessaires, et finit en indiquant, si besoin est, l’onde qu’elle va employer pour faire établir son relèvement. Après cela, elle attend des instructions.

La ou les stations radiogoniométriques appelées se préparent à prendre le relèvement; elles avertissent, si nécessaire, les stations radiogoniométriques avec lesquelles elles sont conjuguées. Aussitô;t que les stations radiogoniométriques sont prêtes, celles parmi ces stations qui sont pourvues d’appareils émetteurs répondent à l’adresse de la station mobile, dans l’ordre alphabétique de leurs indicatifs d’appel, en donnant leur indicatif d’appel suivi de la lettre K.

Dans le cas où il s’agit de stations radiogoniométriques groupées, la station appelée prévient les autres stations du groupement et informe la station mobile dès que les stations du groupement sont prêtes à prendre le relèvement.

C. Après avoir, si nécessaire, préparé sa nouvelle onde de transmission, la station mobile répond en transmettant son indicatif d’appel, combiné éventuellement avec un autre signal, pendant un temps suffisamment prolongé pour permettre le relèvement. D.

La ou les stations radiogoniométriques qui sont satisfaites de l’opération, transmettent le signal QTE (“Votre relèvement par rapport à moi était de . . . degrés”), précédé de l’heure de l’observation, et suivi d’un groupe de trois chiffres (000 à 359) indiquant, en degrés, le relèvement vrai de la station mobile par rapport à la station radiogoniométrique.

Si une station radiogoniométrique n’est pas satisfaite de l’opération, elle demande à la station mobile de répéter l’émission indiquée en C.

E. Dès que la station mobile a reçu le résultat de l’observation, elle répète le message à la station radiogoniométrique qui, alors, annonce que la répétition est exacte ou, le cas échéant, rectifie en répétant le message. Quand la station radiogoniométrique a la certitude que la station mobile a correctement reçu le message, elle transmet le signal “fin de travail”. Ce signal est alors répété par la station mobile, comme indication que l’opération est terminée. F. Les indications relatives: a) au signal à employer pour obtenir le relèvement; b) à la durée des émissions a faire par la station mobile et c) à l’heure utilisée par la station radiogoniométrique considérée, sont données dans la Nomenclature.

The term “administration” means a Government administration.

Article 2 License

License.

§1. No radio transmitting station shall be established or operated

Requirements.

by an individual or by a private enterprise without special license issued by the Government of the country to which the station in question is subject

§2. The holder of a license must undertake to preserve the secrecy of correspondence, both telegraph and telephone. Moreover, the effect of the license must be that the interception of radio correspondence other than that which the station is authorized to receive is forbidden, and that, in the case where such correspondence is involuntarily received, it must not be reproduced in writing, communicated to others, or used for any purpose.

§3. In order to facilitate the verification of licenses it is recommended that there be added, where necessary, to the text written in the vernacular, a translation of this text into a language more generally used in international relations.

Article 3 Choice and calibration of apparatus

Choice and calibration of apparatus.

§1. The choice of radio apparatus and devices to be used by astation shall be unrestricted, provided the waves emitted comply withthe provisions of these. Regulations.

§2. (1) The Administrations must take the necessary measures toassure themselves that the frequency meters (wave meters) employedin the adjustment of the transmitting apparatus are as accuratelycalibrated as possible by comparison with their national standardinstruments. (2) In case of international disagreement, the comparisons shallbe made by an absolute method of measuring frequencies.

Article 4 Classification and use of radio emissions

Classification and useof radio emissions.

§1. (1) Radio emissions shall be divided into two classes: A. Continuous waves, B. Damped waves, defined as follows: Class A.—Waves the successive oscillations of which are identical under permanent conditions. Class B.—Waves consisting of successive trains in which the amplitude of the oscillations, after having reached a maximum, decreases gradually. (2) Waves of Class A include the following types, which are defined below: Type A1: Unmodulated continuous waves. Continuous waves, the amplitude or frequency of which is varied by means of telegraphic keying. 2850 Type A2: Continuous waves modulated at audible frequency. Continuous waves, the amplitude or frequency of which is varied in a periodic manner at audible frequency, combined with telegraphic keying. Type A3: Continuous waves modulated by speech or by music. Continuous waves, the amplitude or frequency of which is varied according to the characteristic vibrations of speech or music. (3) The above classification, into waves of Types A1, A2, and A3, shall not prevent the use, under conditions fixed by the Administrations concerned, of modulated and/or manipulated waves, by methods not falling within the definitions of Types A1, A2, and A3. (4) These definitions do not relate to systems of transmitting apparatus. (5) Waves will be designated in the first place by their frequency in kilocycles per second (kc/s). Following this designation there will be indicated, in parentheses, the approximate length in meters. In the present Regulations, the approximate value of the wave length in meters is the quotient of the number 300,000 divided by the frequency expressed in kilocycles per second.

§2. Waves emitted by a station must be maintained upon the authorized frequency, as exactly as the state of the art permits, and their radiation must also be as free as practicable from all emissions not essential to the type of communication carried on.

§3. The interested administrations shall fix the tolerance allowed between the mean frequency of emissions and the recorded frequency; they shall endeavor to take advantage of technical improvements progressively to reduce this tolerance.

§4. The width of a frequency band occupied by the emission of a station must be reasonably consistent with good current engineering practice for the type of communication involved.

§5. In cases where frequency bands are assigned to a specified service, stations in that service must use frequencies sufficiently remote from the limits of these bands, so as not to produce serious interference with the work of stations belonging to services to which are allocated immediately neighboring frequency bands.

Article 5

A1location and use of frequencies (wave lengths) and types of emission.

Allocation and use of frequencies (wave lengths) and types of emission

§1. The Administrations of the contracting countries may assign any frequency and any type of wave to any radio station within their jurisdiction upon the sole condition that no interference with any service of another country will result therefrom.

§2. These Administrations, however, agree to assign to stations, which by their nature are believed capable of causing serious international interference, frequencies and types of waves in conformity with the rules for allocation and use of waves as set forth below.

§3. The Administrations agree also to consider the table of allocation of frequency bands (see section 7) as a guide giving, for the different services, the limits which must be observed by all new stations and to which they shall adapt all existing stations with the least practicable delay, without diminishing the quality of the service which these existing stations carry on and tailing into account the present state of their installations.

§4. Nevertheless, the frequencies of all broadcasting stations now working on frequencies below 300 kc/s (wave lengths above 1,000 m.) shall, in principle, not later than a year after the present Regulations become effective, be removed either to the band included between 160 and 224 kc/s (wave lengths 1,875–1,340 m.) or to the band included between 550 and 1,500 kc/s (wave lengths 545–200 m.).

2851

§5. No new broadcasting station shall be authorized to work in the frequency band included between 160 and 224 kc/s (wave lengths 1,875–1,340 in.) unless no inconvenience therefrom will result to existing radio communication services, including broadcasting services carried on by the stations which are already using the frequencies included in this band, and stations the frequencies of which shall be changed to fall within this same band in conformity with the provision of paragraph 4 above.

§6. The power of existing broadcasting stations using frequencies below 300 kc/s (wave lengths above 1,000 m.) shall not be increased if any inconvenience will result therefrom to existing radio communication services.

§7. The following table shows the allocation of frequencies (approximate wave lengths) among the various services:

Table—Continued.

Note.—It is recognized that short waves (frequencies from 6,000 to 23,000 kc/s approximately—wave lengths from 50 to 13m approximately) are very efficient for long distance communications. It is recommended that as a general rule this band of waves be reserved for this purpose, in services between fixed points.

§8.

Uses designated.

(1) Use of Type B waves of a frequency of less than 375 kc/s (wave lengths above 800 m.) shall be forbidden beginning January 1, 1930, subject to the provisions of paragraph 1 of the present Article and except for existing land stations. (2) No new transmitting installations using Type B waves shall be made in ships or in aircraft beginning January 1, 1930, except when such transmitters working on full power shall dissipate less than 300 watts measured at the input of the supply transformer at audible frequency. (3) The use of Type B waves of all frequencies shall be forbidden beginning January 1, 1940, except for transmitters fulfilling the conditions as to power indicated in (2) above. (4) No new Type B transmitting installation shall henceforth be made in a land or fixed station. Waves of this type shall be forbidden in all land stations beginning January 1, 1935.

§9. The use of Type A3 waves shall not be authorized between 100 and 160 kc/s (3,000 and 1,875 m.).

§10. The use of Type A2 waves shall not be authorized between 100 and 150 kc/s (3,000 and 2,000 m.), except in the band 100–125 kc/s (3,000–2,400 m.), for time signals exclusively.

§11. In the band 460–550 kc/s (650–545 m.) no type of emission likely to render inoperative the distress, alarm, security, or urgent signals sent on 500 kc/s (600 m.) shall be authorized.

§12. In principle, any station carrying on a service between fixed points on a wave with a frequency below 110 kc/s (wave lengths above 2,725 m. ) must use only one frequency, chosen from the bands allocated to that service (section 7 above), for each of its transmitters capable of simultaneous operation. A station shall not be permitted to use a frequency other than that allocated, as stated above for a service between fixed points.

§13. In principle, stations shall employ the same frequencies and the same types of emission for the transmission of messages by the one-way method as for their normal service. Regional arrangements may be made, however, with a view to exempting stations concerned from the application of this rule.

2853

§14. In order to facilitate the exchange of synoptic meteorological

Uses.—Continued.

messages in European regions, two frequencies between 37.5 and 100 kc/s (wave lengths of 8,000–3,000 m.) shall be allocated to this service by regional arrangements.

§15. To facilitate rapid transmission and distribution of information of value in the detection of crime and pursuit or criminals, a frequency between 37.5 and 100 kc/s (wave lengths of 8,000–3,000 m.) shall be reserved for this purpose by regional arrangements.

§16. (1) The frequencies assigned by Administrations to all new fixed land or radio broadcasting stations which they may have authorized or of which they may have undertaken the installation must be chosen in such a manner as to prevent so far as practicable interference with international services carried on by existing stations the frequencies of which have already been notified to the International Bureau. In the case of a change of the frequency of an existing fixed land or broadcasting station, the new frequency assigned to this station must comply with the above conditions. (2) The interested Governments shall agree, in case of need, upon the determination of the waves to be assigned to the stations in question as well as upon the conditions for the use of waves so assigned. If no arrangement intended to eliminate interference can be arrived at, the provisions of Article 20 of the Convention may be applied.

§17. (1) Each administration shall promptly advise the International Bureau when it decides upon, or authorizes, the establishment of a radio communication station, the operation of which necessitates the assignment for its regular service of a particular frequency below 37.5 kc/s (wave length above 8,000 m.) in the case where the use of this frequency might cause international interference over broad areas. This notice must reach the International Bureau four months prior to the construction of the station contemplated in order to dispose of objections which any of the Administrations might raise against the adoption of the proposed frequency. (2) In the case of a fixed short wave station intended to carry on regular service and the radiation of which would be likely to cause international interference, the Administration concerned must, as a general rule, before the completion of the station and in any case before it is open for service, notify to the International Bureau the frequency assigned to that station. (3) Such notification, however, shall be sent only when the Administration concerned shall have ascertained that the service in question can be established within a reasonable time.

§18. (1) Each Administration may assign to amateur stations

Amateur Stations.

frequencies chosen from the bands allotted to amateurs in the allocation table (section 7 above). (2) The maximum power which these stations may use shall be fixed by the Administration concerned, taking into account the technical qualifications of the operators and the conditions under which the stations must work. (3) All the general rules fixed in the Convention and in these Regulations apply to amateur stations. In particular, the frequency of the waves emitted must be as constant and as free from harmonics as the state of the art permits. (4) In the course of their transmission, these stations must transmit their call signals at frequent intervals.

Article 6 Service of private experimental stations

Service of private experimental stations.

§1. The exchange of communications between private experimental stations of different countries shall be forbidden if the Administration2854of one of the interested countries has given notice of its opposition to this exchange.

§2. When this exchange is permitted the communications must, unless the interested countries have entered into other agreements among themselves, be carried on in plain language and be limited to messages bearing upon the experiments and to remarks of a private nature for which, by reason of their unimportance, recourse to the public telegraph service might not be warranted.

§3. In a private experimental station authorized to carry on transmission any person operating the apparatus, either on his own account or for another, must have proved his ability to transmit text in International Morse Code signals and to read by ear texts thus transmitted. He can be replaced only by authorized persons possessing the same qualifications.

§4. Administrations shall take such measures as they deem necessary to verify the qualifications, from a technical point of view, of all persons handling the apparatus.

Article 7

Operators’ certificates.

Operators’ certificates

§1.

Requirements.

(1) The service of every mobile radiotelegraph of radiotelephone station must be carried on by a radiotelegraph operator holding a certificate issued by the government to which the station is subject. However, in mobile stations equipped with a low-power radio-telephone installation (of a power not exceeding 300 watts input) capable of being used only for telephony, the service may be earned on by an operator holding only a radiotelephone operator’s certificate. (2) In case of the absolute unavailability of the operator in the course of a crossing, flight, or voyage, the master or the person responsible for the mobile may authorize, but only temporarily, an operator holding a certificate issued by another contracting Government to carry on the radio service. When it becomes necessary to employ as temporary operator a person not holding the prescribed certificate, his service must be limited to emergency cases. In any case, the operator or the above-mentioned person must be replaced so soon as practicable by an operator holding the certificate prescribed in the preceding paragraph.

§2. There are two classes of certificates and of special certificates for radiotelegraph operators and one class of certificates for radiotelephone operators.

Certificates for radiotelegraph operators.

Certificates for radiotelegraph operators §3. (1) Each Government shall be free to fix the number of examinations deemed necessary to obtain a first-class certificate. (2) The first-class certificate must state that the operator possesses the requisite qualification for obtaining the radiotelephone operator’s certificate. Each government shall be free to require or not the same qualifications in the case of the second-class certificate. (3)

Qualifications.

General procedure in the mobile service.

§1. In the mobile service, the following detailed procedure shall be obligatory, except in the case of distress calls or of distress correspondence, to which the provisions of Article 19 are applicable.

Post, p. 2369.

§2. (1) Before proceeding with a transmission, the sending station must make sure that no excessive interference will be caused to other communications in progress within its range on the frequency to be used; if there is probablity of such interference occurring, it shall await the first break in the transmission with which it might interfere. (2) If, in spite of this precaution, a radio transmission in progress is interrupted by the call, the latter must cease at the first request of a land station open to the international service of public correspondence or by any aeronautical station whatsoever. The station requesting this cessation must indicate the approximate duration of the suspension imposed upon the station whose call has been stopped.

§3 . In mobile service radiotelegraph correspondence the following procedure shall be used for calling a station: (1) (a) The calling station shall make the call by transmitting not more than three times the call signal of the station called and the word DE, followed not more than three times by its own call signal. (b) In making this call the calling station shall use the wave on which the station called keeps watch. (2) The station called shall reply by transmitting not more than three times the call signal of the calling station, the word DE, its own call signal, and, if it is ready to receive traffic, the letter K (invitation to transmit), followed if deemed useful, by the appropriate abbreviation and by a number indicating the strength of the signals received. (3) If the station called is unable to receive, it shall replace in the reply formula the letter K by the signal • ― • • • (wait), followed by a number indicating in minutes the probable duration of the wait. If it is probable that this delay will exceed ten minutes, the delay must be explained. (4) When there are several radiotelegrams to be transmitted in the same direction, they may be transmitted in series with the consent of the station which is to receive them. (5) This latter station, in giving its consent, shall indicate the number of radio telegram s which it is ready to receive in a series, and this indication shall be followed by the letter K. 2858 (6)

Mobile service procedure—Continued.

In principle, a radiotelegram containing more than 100 words shall be considered as forming a series, or shall terminate a series then under way. (7) As a general rule, long radio telegrams in plain language, code, or cipher, shall be transmitted in sections, each section containing 50 words in the case of plain language and 20 words or groups where code or cipher is used. (8) At the end of each section the signal • • ― ― • • (?) meaning: “Have you received the radiotelegram correctly up to this point,?” shall be transmitted. If the section has been correctly received, the receiving station shall send the letter K and the transmission of the radiotelegram shall be continued. (9) (a) The transmission of a radiotelegram shall be terminated by the signal • ― • ― • (end of transmission) followed by the call signal of the sending station and the letter K. (b) In case of transmission in series, the call signal of the sending station and the letter K shall be sent only at the end of the series. (10) (a) Acknowledgment of receipt of a radiotelegram shall be sent by means of the letter R followed by the number of the radiotelegram; this acknowledgment of receipt shall be preceded by the following formula: call signal of the sending station, word DE, call signal of the receiving station. (b) Acknowledgment of receipt of a series of radio telegrams shall be sent by means of the letter R followed by the number of radiotelegrams received as well as by the numbers of the first and of the last telegram composing the series. This acknowledgment of receipt shall be preceded by the formula given above. (11) The conclusion of work between two stations shall be indicated by each of them, by means of the signal • • • ― • ― (end of work) followed by its own call signal.

§4. (1) If the calling station intends to transmit its traffic with a type of wave and/or on a frequency other than those employed for the call, it shall send after its own call signal the service indications defining the type of wave and/or the frequency which it proposes to use for its transmission. The absence of these service indications shall signify that it does not intend to change the type of wave or frequency. (2) If the station called wishes the calling station to send on a type of wave and/or frequency other than those used for the call, it shall add to the reply formula service indications defining the type of wave and/or the frequency which it desires to be used. The absence of these service indications shall signify that it does not desire that the type of wave and/or the frequency used for the call be changed. (3) If the calling station has indicated that it is going to use for transmission a type of wave and/or a frequency other than those with which the call was made, the station called in the reply formula shall precede the letter K by abbreviations, indicating that from then on it will listen on the type of wave and/or the frequency announced and that it itself, will use the said type of wave and/or frequency for the entire period of communication. (4) If the calling station is a land station which, according to the provisions of the present regulations, may employ a wave other than those which it is possible for the mobile station to transmit, it may after having established contact, use this wave to transmit its traffic. In such case the procedure shall be as follows: (a) The land station shall call the mobile station by using the wave on winch the latter is keeping watch; and after having obtained an answer shall inform it by means of the appropriate abbreviation that it must listen thereafter on the wave which it intends to use. 2859 (b) If the mobile station can receive the wave indicated, it shall send

Mobile service procedure—Continued.

the letter K. If not, it shall inform the land station by means of the appropriate abbreviation that it is impossible to receive the proposed wave and the two stations shall agree to adopt another working wave. (5) The land station shall continue to use the wave which it has employed until after the transmission of the signal • • • ― • ― (end of work), followed by its call signal. This signal, followed by its call signal, shall be repeated by the mobile station on the international calling wave assigned to its service. (6) When the land station which receives a request to change the type of wave and/or the frequency can not, or does not desire to comply with this request, it shall not transmit the signal K, but shall propose, by employing the appropriate abbreviations, the use of another type of wave and/or another frequency.

§5. (1) On the wave of 500 kc/s (600 m.) (or on an authorized wave, in the case of communications with an aircraft station), the periods of continuous work between two stations must not exceed approximately ten minutes; after each of these periods a pause must be observed in order to permit, if necessary, another station to send a priority call or to transmit a priority message. (2) On the other waves assigned to the maritime mobile service the length of the period of continuous work shall be controlled by the coast station. In the case of communications between two ship stations, the receiving station shall determine the length of the periods of continuous work. (3) In communications between aircraft stations the length of the periods of continuous work shall be controlled by the receiving aircraft station, subject to the intervention, for that purpose, of the aeronautical station. In communications between aeronautical stations and aircraft stations, the aeronautical station shall control the length of the periods of continuous work.

§6. When a station receives a call without being certain that such call is intended for it, it shall not reply until the call has been repeated and is understood. When, on the other hand, a station receives a call which is addressed to it, but is uncertain of the call signal of the calling station, it must answer immediately using the signal instead of the call signal of this latter station.

§7. (1) When it is necessary to make test signals in order to adjust the apparatus before proceeding with a call or a transmission, the signals must not be made for more than about ten seconds and they must be composed of a series of V’s followed by the call signal of the sending station. (2) If a station sends test signals at the request of another station to permit the latter to adjust its receiving apparatus, these signals must likewise be composed of a series of V’s in which the call signal of the transmitting station shall appear several times.

Article 10 General call to all mobile stations

General call to all mobile stations.

§1. Stations desiring to enter into communication with mobile stations, without, however, knowing the names of the mobile stations which are within their range of action, may use the signal of inquiry CQ, in place of the call signal of the station called in the calling formula, this formula being followed by the letter K (general call for all mobile stations with request for reply).

§2. In regions where traffic is heavy, the use of the call CQ followed by the letter K shall be forbidden except in combination with urgent signals.

2860

§3. The call CQ not followed by the letter K (general call for all mobile stations without request for reply) shall be employed for radiotelegrams of general information, time signals, regular meteorological information, general safety notices, and information of all kinds intended to be read by anyone who can receive them.

Article 11

Interference.

(2) In addition, no new installations of transmitters of Type B waves shall be made in mobile stations beginning January 1, 1930, except when these transmitters working on full power shall expend less than 300 watts measured at the input of the supply transformer at audible frequency. (3) Finally, the use of Type B waves of all frequencies shall be forbidden beginning January 1, 1940, except for transmitters fulfilling the same conditions regarding power as above.

§2. (1) Every station installed on board a vessel or an aircraft following a maritime route, such vessel or aircraft being compulsorily equipped with radio apparatus in accordance with an international agreement, must be able to send and receive on a wave of 500 kc/s (600 m.) Type A2 or B. Ship stations must, in addition, be able to use the wave of 375 kc/s (800 m.), Type A2 (or B subject to the provisions of section 1 above). (2) Aircraft stations must be able to send and receive the wave of 333 kc/s (900 m.) Types A2 or A3 (or B subject to the provisions of section 1 above).

§3. (1) In addition to the fixed waves stipulated above, mobile stations equipped to send waves of Types A1, A2 or A3 may use all the waves authorized in Article 5. (2) The use of waves of Type B shall be authorized only for the following frequencies (wave lengths):

Kc/s	Meters	Kc/s	Meters
375	800	500	600
410	730	665	450
425	705	1,000	300
454	660	1,364	220

(3) The use of the Type B wave of 665 kc/s (450 m.) shall be forbidden henceforth in regions where this wave may interfere with broadcasting. (4) The use of the Type B wave of 1000 kc/s (300 m.) for traffic shall be forbidden, henceforth, between 6:00 P. M. and midnight, local time, and shall be absolutely forbidden, at all times, beginning January 1, 1930 at the latest. This same Type B wave of 1000 kc/s (300 m.) may, however, continue in use indefinitely without restriction as to hours by stations on board fishing vessels, for radiocompass bearings among themselves, provided they do not interfere with broadcasting.

2867

§4. All apparatus in mobile stations established for the transmission of Type A1 waves between 125 and 150 kc/s (2400–2000 m.) must permit the use of at least three frequencies chosen from this band, and must permit a rapid change from one to another of these frequencies.

§5. (1) All stations on ships compulsorily equipped with radio apparatus must be able to receive the wave of 500 kc/s (600 m.) and in addition all the waves necessary for the proper accomplishment of the service which they carry on. (2) Beginning January 1, 1932 they must be able to receive easily and efficiently on the same frequencies, waves of Types A1 and A2.

§6. Transmitting apparatus used in the mobile service must be provided with devices permitting reduction of power. This provision shall not apply to transmitters, the input power of which does not exceed 300 watts.

§7. Receiving apparatus must be such that the current which it produces in the antenna shall be as small as possible and shall not disturb neighboring stations.

§8. The transmitting and receiving apparatus of all mobile stations must be such as to allow changing of frequency as rapidly as possible. All installations must be such that communications once being established the time necessary to change from transmission to reception and vice versa shall be as short as practicable.

Article 17 Calling and listening waves

Calling and listening waves.

§1. (1) In the band between 360 and 515 kc/s (830–580 m.) the only Type B waves permitted shall be the following: 375, 410, 425, 454 and 500 kc/s (800, 730, 705, 660, and 600 m.). (2) The general calling wave, which must be used by all ships compulsorily equipped and by coast stations, shall be 500 kc/s (600 m.) (A1, A2 or B). (3) Besides the wave 500 kc/s (600 m.) the use of waves of all types between 485 and 515 kc/s (620–580 m.) shall be forbidden. (4) The wave of 500 kc/s (600 m.) shall be the international calling and distress wave. It may be used, but with discretion, for other purposes, if it does not interfere with distress, urgent, safety, or call signals. (5) Coast stations must be able to use at least one wave besides that of 500 kc/s (600 m.). This additional wave shall be underlined in the nomenclature to indicate that it is the normal working wave of the station. The additional waves thus chosen may be the same as those of ship stations or may be different. In any case, the working waves of the coast stations must be chosen in such a way as to avoid interference with neighboring stations. (6) Besides the normal working waves underlined in the nomenclature, coast and ship stations may use in the authorized band additional waves which they deem suitable. These waves shall be given in the nomenclature without being underlined.

§2. (1) In order to increase safety of life at sea (ships) and over the sea (aircraft), all stations in the mobile maritime service must, during their hours of service, take the necessary measures to assure the watch on the distress wave (500 kc/s–600 m.) for three minutes twice per hour, beginning at the 15th minute and at the 45th minute after each hour Greenwich Mean Time. 2868 (2) Stations carrying on a service of radiotelegraph correspondence, press news, etc., with ships at sea must observe silence during the intervals indicated above. Only the transmissions provided for in Article 19, sections 25 to 27, may be made during these intervals. (3) As an exception, however, land and ship stations equipped to correspond by means of continuous waves may continue to work during these periods; if they are in a position to maintain at the same time a satisfactory watch on the distress wave as provided for in paragraph (1) of the present section.

§3. The following rules must be observed in the operation of stations in the mobile service using Type A1 waves of the band 100 to 160 kc/s (3000–1875 m.) which is assigned to the mobile service. a) Every coast station carrying on communications on a long continuous wave must listen on the wave of 143 kc/s (2100 m.) unless it is otherwise indicated in the nomenclature. The coast stations shall transmit all its traffic on the wave or waves especially assigned to it. b) When a mobile station desires to establish communication on a long continuous wave with another station of the mobile service, it must employ the wave of 143 kc/s (2100 m.) unless it is otherwise indicated in the nomenclature. This wave, designated as the general communication wave, must be employed: (1) For calls and answers thereto. (2) For sending signals preliminary to the transmission of traffic. c) A mobile station after having established communication on the general communication wave, with another station in the mobile service, may transmit its traffic on any wave in the authorized band on condition that it does not disturb the work of a coast station or work in progress on the calling wave. d) As a general rule, every mobile station, equipped for service on long continuous waves and not engaged in communication on another wave, must, in order to permit the exchange of traffic with other stations of the mobile service, return to the wave of 143 kc/s (2100 m.) for 10 minutes from the beginning of the 35th minute to the beginning of the 45th minute of each hour, Greenwich Mean Time, during the specified hours, according to the class to which the station in question belongs. e) (1) Coast stations shall transmit their traffic lists at specified times, published in the nomenclature, on the wave or waves which are assigned to them. (2) Besides the times thus fixed for this tranmission of their traffic lists, coast stations may call mobile stations individually, at any other time, according to circumstances or according to work which they have to carry on. These individual calls may be made on the wave of 143 kc/s (2100 m.) in regions where there is no congestion of traffic. f) The special provisions concerning the service carried on by land stations using long continuous waves shall be shown in detail in a special reference in the nomenclature.

Article 18

Emergency installations.

Emergency installations

§2. In the use of emergency installations, all the provisions of the present Regulations must be observed.

2869

Article 19 Distress, alarm, urgent and safety signals Distress signal

Distress signal.

§1. The distress signal shall consist of the group • • • ― ― ― • • • which indicates that the ship, aircraft, or other mobile station sending it, is threatened by grave and imminent danger, and requests immediate assistance.

Distress call

Distress call.

§2. (1) The distress call shall consist of the distress signal sent three times, followed by the word DE and the call signal of the mobile station in distress, sent three times. This call has absolute priority over all other transmissions. All mobile or land stations hearing it must immediately cease all transmissions capable of interfering with the distress calls or messages and must listen on the wave used for the distress call. This call must not be addressed to a particular station. (2) The same rules apply to the radiotelephone distress call which consists of the spoken expression MAYDAY, (corresponding to the French pronunciation of the expression “m’aider” [help me].)

Distress message

Distress message.

§3. The distress message shall include the distress call followed by the name of the ship, aircraft, or other mobile station in distress, and information concerning its position, the nature of the distress and the kind of assistance desired.

§4. As a general rule and when a ship or aircraft on or over the sea is involved the position must be expressed in latitude and longitude (Greenwich) using figures for degrees and minutes, accompanied by one of the words NORTH or SOUTH, and by one of the words EAST or WEST. A period shall separate the degrees from the minutes. Where necessary, the true bearing and the distance in nautical miles from a known geographic point may be given.

§5. The distress call and message shall be sent only by the authority of the master or person responsible for the ship, aircraft, or other mobile station.

§6. A ship in distress shall transmit the distress call on the wave of 500 kc/s (600 m.), preferably of Type A2 or B. This call must be followed as soon as possible by the distress message.

§7. The distress call and message must be repeated at intervals until an answer has been received, especially during the periods of silence specified in Article 17, section 2. The intervals must, however, be long enough for stations preparing to reply to the call to have time to start their sending apparatus. In the case where the ship in distress receives no answer to a distress call or message sent on the 500 kc/s (600 m.) wave, the call and the message may be repeated on any other available wave on which attention might be attracted.

§8. Furthermore, a mobile station which is aware that another mobile station is in distress may transmit the distress message on condition that: (a) The station in distress is not itself in a position to transmit it. (b) The master (or his relief) of the vessel, aircraft, or other mobile station believes that further help is necessary.

2870

§9. (1) Stations which receive a distress message from a mobile station which unquestionably is in their immediate vicinity, must at once acknowledge receipt thereof (see sections 15 and 16 below), taking care not to interfere with the transmission of the acknowledgments of receipt of the said message sent by other stations. (2) Stations which receive a distress message from a mobile station which unquestionably is not in their immediate vicinity, must listen for a short period before acknowledging receipt thereof in order to permit the stations nearer to the mobile station in distress to answer and acknowledge receipt without interference.

Distress traffic.

Distress traffic §10. Distress traffic shall include all messages relative to immediate relief of the mobile station in distress.

§11. All distress traffic must include the distress signal, sent before the time of filing.

§12. The control of distress communications devolves upon the mobile station in distress or upon the mobile station which, by application of the provisions of section 8, subparagraph (a), sent the distress call. These stations may delegate the control of the distress communications to another station.

§13. All stations which are within the range of the distress communications but which do not take part in them must refrain from using the distress wave until the distress communications are finished. As soon as these communications are established on the distress wave, mobile stations not taking part in them may continue their normal service on other authorized waves of Type A1, if by so doing they are still able effectively to receive the distress traffic.

§14. (1)

When distress communications are ended and silence is no longer necessary, the station which has controlled these communications shall send a message on the distress wave addressed to CQ, indicating that the distress communications are ended. This message shall take the following form:

Call CQ (three times), word DE, call signal of the station transmitting the message, distress signal, time of filing the message, name and call signal of the mobile station which was in distress, words “distress traffic ended.”

(2) This message shall be repeated, where necessary, on the other waves on which the distress traffic has been sent.

Acknowledging receipt of distress message.

Acknowledgment of receipt of a distress message—Repetition of a distress call or message §15.

Acknowledgment of receipt of a distress message shall be made in the following form:

Call signal of the mobile station in distress (three times), word DE, call signal of the station acknowledging receipt (three times), group RRR, distress signal.

§16. Every mobile station which acknowledges receipt of a distress message must make its name and position known as soon as possible (in the form shown in Paragraph 4), taking care not to interfere with other stations more favorably situated to render immediate relief to the station in distress.

§17. If a mobile station employing continuous waves not included in the band 485 to 515 kc/s (620–580 m.) hears a distress message sent on the wave of 500 kc/s (600 m.), during other than the obligatory silence periods on the wave of 500 kc/s (600 m.), and if the ship, aircraft or other mobile station is not in a position to render assistance, the said station must take all possible steps to attract the2871attention of other mobile stations in the vicinity, which are working on waves not included in the band mentioned above.

§18. Repetition of the distress call or message, by mobile stations

Repetition of distress signals.

other than the one in distress, shall be permitted only on authorization from the master (or his relief) of said stations, taking care not to cause interference by useless repetition.

§19. A station repeating a distress call or message shall add to the end thereof the word DE followed by its own call signal transmitted three times.

§20. In a case where a station receives a distress call or message but is not in a position to render assistance and has reason to believe that there has been no acknowledgment of receipt of the distress message, it must repeat the message on full power on the distress wave and take all the necessary steps to advise the authorities who are capable of useful intervention.

Automatic alarm signal

Automatic alarm signal.

§21. The composition of the automatic alarm signal must comply with the following conditions: (a) It must be possible to send this signal by hand or by an automatic apparatus, without difficulty and with a precision as to the measure of time, which must not be greater than that of a watch or a clock indicating seconds. (b) Its composition must be clear, distinct, and easily recognized by a person ignorant of the Morse Code; and it must be adaptable to the easy and cheap manufacture of an automatic receiving apparatus which: 1. Shall respond to the alarm signal even when numerous stations are working as well as when there is atmospheric interference; 2. Shall not be started by powerful signals or by atmospherics when these are not accompanied by the alarm signal; 3. Shall possess a sensitiveness equal to that of a crystal receiver-detector connected with the same antenna; 4. Shall give warning when its operation ceases to be normal. (c) The said composition must be different from the signal used for adjustment and functioning of the variometer. (d) Before an automatic alarm receiver shall be approved for use in ships under the jurisdiction of an Administration, the Administration must be satisfied by practical tests made under suitable conditions of interference, that the apparatus complies with the provisions of these Regulations. (e)

The following alarm signal shall hereafter be recognized:

A series of twelve dashes sent in one minute, the duration of each dash being four seconds and the duration of the interval between two dashes, one second.

(f) This special signal must have for its sole purpose, the operation of the apparatus used to give the alarm. It must be used solely to announce that the distress signal is about to follow. (g) The adoption of the type of alarm signal mentioned in (e) shall not prevent an Administration from authorizing the use of an automatic apparatus which would comply with the conditions fixed above and would be operated by the regulation distress signal,(• • • ― ― ― • • •).

Urgent signal

Urgent signal.

§22. (1) The urgent signal shall consist of several repetitions of the group XXX, sent by distinctly separating the letters of each group and the successive groups; it shall be sent before a call. This signal shall indicate that the calling station has a very urgent message to transmit concerning the safety of the ship, aircraft, or other vehicle2872in which it is located; of a ship, aircraft, or other vehicle in sight; or finally, of the safety of any person on board or in sight therefrom. In the aircraft radio service the indication PAN shall be used as an urgent signal, by radiotelephony and by radiotelegraphy, when an aircraft station wishes to give notice of damage which compels the aircraft to land without requiring immediate assistance. In the case of radiotelegraphy, the three letters must be well separated in order that the signals AN be not transmitted as the signal P. (2) The urgent signal shall have priority over all other communications except those of distress, and all mobile or land stations which hear it must avoid interfering with the transmission of such urgent traffic. (3) As a general rule, the urgent signal may be employed only if the sending mobile station addresses it to a specific station.

§23. (1) Mobile stations which hear the urgent signal must continue to listen for at least three minutes. At the expiration of this period and if no urgent message has been heard, mobile stations may resume their normal service. (2) Land and ship stations nevertheless, which are in communication on authorized waves, other than that used for the transmission of the urgent signal and of the call which follows it, may continue their normal work without interruption.

§24. The urgent signal shall be transmitted only with the authorization from the master or the person responsible for the ship, aircraft, or other mobile station.

Safety signal.

Safety signal §25. The safety signal shall consist of the transmission of the group TTT, with the letters well separated, followed by the word DE and by the call signal of the station sending it. It shall indicate that this station is about to transmit a message concerning the safety of navigation or giving important information relative to meteorological warning messages.

§26. The safety signal and the safety message shall be sent on the wave of 500 kc/s. (600 m.) and if necessary, on the normal listening wave of ship and aircraft stations.

§27. The safety signal shall be sent once during the first silent period (Article 17, section 2) and near the end of that period. All stations hearing it must continue to listen on the normal calling wave (ship stations) or on the authorized wave (aircraft station) until the message preceded by the safety signal shall have ended. The transmission of this message shall begin immediately after the end of the silent period.

Article 20

Working hours service.

Working hours of stations in the mobile service

Land stations.

Land stations

§1. (1) The service of land stations is, so far as practicable, continuous (day and night). Certain land stations, however, may have a service of limited duration. Each Administration or authorized private enterprise whose right so to do is recognized by the laws of its own country, shall fix the hours of service for land stations subject to its jurisdiction. (2) Land stations whoso service is not continuous may not close before having: 1. Finished all operations resulting from a distress call; 2. Exchanged all radiotelegrams originating in, or destined to, mobile stations which are situated within their range of action and have indicated their presence before the actual cessation of work. 2873 (3) The service of aeronautical stations shall be continous during the entire period of flight in the sector or sectors of the route or routes, for which the station is question carries on the service of radio communications.

Ship stations

Ship stations.

§2. (1) From the point of view of the international service of public correspondence, ship stations shall be divided into three classes: 1st class: stations carrying on a continuous service. 2st class: stations carrying on a designated service of limited duration. 3st class: stations, whose duration of service is less than that specified for the stations in the second class and stations whose duration of service is undetermined. (2) The provisions of section 1, paragraph 2, of the present Article shall apply strictly to ship stations, so far as concerns distress service and, so far as practicable, in conformity with the spirit of the provisions of (2) of the said paragraph. (3) It shall be the duty of each of the contracting Governments to ensure the effectiveness of the service in ship stations of its nationality by requiring the presence in such stations of the necessary number of operators, account being taken of its own legislation on this subject. (4) During navigation, ship stations of the second class must carry on service as follows: (a) In the case of short voyages, during the hours fixed by the Administration to which they are subject; (b) In other cases, at least during the hours assigned to them in Appendix 5. Mention of these hours shall be made in the license.

Aircraft stations

Aircraft stations.

§3. Aircraft stations shall be divided into two classes: 1st class: stations carrying on service during the entire period of flight. 2st class: stations not having fixed hours of service.

§4. So far as concerns the international service of public correspondence of mobile stations, the personnel of these stations must include at least: (a) For mobile stations of the 1st class, an operator holding a 1st class certificate. (b) For mobile stations of the 2nd class, an operator holding a 1st or 2nd class certificate. (c) For mobile stations of the 3rd class, an operator who has passed the examination for the 2nd class certificate.

Article 21 Information to appear in the license

Information to appear in the license.

The Government which issues the license to a ship station or aircraft station shall mention therein the class in which it is placed. For a ship station in the second class, the license shall also mention the period of service assigned to the station in conformity with Appendix 5.

Article 22 Address of radiotelegrams

Address of radiotelegrams.

§1. The address of radiotelegrams destined for mobile stations must be as complete as possible; it must be composed of the following: (a) Name or designation of the addressee, with any additional information, if necessary. 2874 (b) Name of the ship or, in the case of an aircraft, the call signal as published in the first column of the nomenclature. (c) Name of the land station charged with the transmission, as it appears in the nomenclature. (2) The name and call signal provided for under section 1 (1) (b), however, may be replaced at the sender’s risk by the designation of the route followed by the mobile station, this route being determined by the names of the ports of departure and of destination, or by any other equivalent information. (3) When a radiotelegram received from a mobile station is relayed over the general communication system, the land station shall transmit as origin the name of the mobile station whence the radiotelegram emanates as this name appears in the nomenclature, followed by the name of the said land station.

§2. (1) Mobile stations authorized to be without the official nomenclature of telegraph offices may follow the name of the telegraph office of destination by the name of the territorial sub-division and, if necessary, by the name of the country of destination, if it is doubted whether, without this addition, the routing will be made without delay. (2) The name of the telegraph office and the supplementary information shall in this case be counted and charged for only as a single word. The agent of the land station receiving the radio telegram shall retain or delete this information, or again modify the name of the office of destination as may be necessary or sufficient to route the radiotelegram to its proper destination.

Article 23

Order of priority in mobile service communications.

Order of priority in the establishment of communications in the mobile service The order of priority in the establishment of communications in the mobile service shall be as follows: 1. Distress calls, distress messages, and distress traffic. 2. Communications preceded by an urgent signal. 3. Communications preceded by the safety signal. 4. Communications relative to radiocompass Bearings. 5. All other communications.

Article 24

Calling.

Calling

§1. (1) As a general rule, responsibility for establishing communication with the land station rests with the mobile station; the latter may call the land station, for this purpose, only after arriving within the range of action of said station. (2) In principle, a land station having traffic for a mobile station which has not indicated its presence, must call this station only if it has reason to believe that the said mobile station is within range and is keeping watch.

§2. (1) Land stations may, however, transmit their traffic list, consisting of the call signals of all mobile stations for which they have traffic on hand, at fixed intervals which have been established by agreements between the Governments concerned. Land stations which transmit their calls on the wave of 500 kc/s (600 m.) shall transmit the call signals of their traffic list in alphabetical order; land stations which use continuous waves shall transmit these call signals in the most convenient order. 2875 (2) In all cases, mobile stations which, during this transmission, hear their call signal must answer so soon as practicable, complying with provisions of section 1, and following so far as practicable the order in which they were called. The time at which land stations transmit their traffic lists as well as the frequencies and types of waves which they use for this purpose shall be indicated in the nomenclature. (3) The land station shall inform each mobile station concerned of the frequency and type of wave to be used for work with it, as well as of the approximate time at which the traffic may begin.

§3. When a land station receives calls from several mobile stations at practically the same time, it shall decide the order in which these stations may transmit their traffic to it, its decision being based only on the requirement of permitting each calling station to exchange with it the greatest possible number of radiotelegrams.

§4. (1) When a land station answers a call from a mobile station it may, if deemed necessary, ask the mobile station, by means of appropriate abbreviations, to indicate the number of radiotelegrams on hand. (2) If information concerning the position, route, speed or ports of call of the ship, aircraft or other mobile station appears necessary to the land station, the latter asks for it by means of a free service advice, addressed to the master, or to the person in charge of the ship, aircraft or other mobile station who furnishes it or not at his discretion. The mobile station must give such information to the land station only when it has been requested and furnished as stated above.

§5. In communication between coast and mobile stations, the mobile stations shall follow the instructions of the coast station, in all questions relating to the order and time of transmission, as well as to the suspension of work. This provision shall not apply to cases of distress.

§6. In communication between mobile stations, except in cases of distress, the station called shall control the work as indicated in section 5 above.

§7. (1) When a station called does not answer to a call sent three times at intervals of two minutes, the call must cease and it may be resumed only after an interval of fifteen minutes. The calling station, before resuming the call, must make certain that the station called is not at that moment in communication with another station. (2) The call may be repeated at shorter intervals if it is not likely to interfere with communications in progress.

§8. When the name and address of the management of a mobile station are not shown in the nomenclature or are no longer in accord with the data given in the latter, it devolves upon the mobile station to furnish the land station to which it sends traffic all the necessary information, using for this purpose the appropriate abbreviations.

Article 25 Time of filing radiotelegrams

Time of filing radio telegrams.

§1. To indicate the time of filing radio telegrams accepted in mobile stations, the person in charge shall employ Greenwich Mean Time, and shall use a notation according to the twenty-four hour system. This time shall always be expressed and sent by means of four figures (0000 to 2359).

§2. The Administrations of countries located outside zone “A”

Post, p. 2895.

(Appendix 6), however, may authorize ship stations following the coasts of their countries to use zone time to indicate, by a group of four figures, the time of filing, and in this case the group must be followed by the letter F.

2876

Article 26

Routing of radiotelegrams.

Routing of radiotelegrams

§1. (1) In principle, a mobile station using waves of Type A2, A3 or B shall send its radio telegrams to the nearest land station. (2) When, however, the mobile station may choose among several land stations, situated at approximately the same distance it shall give the preference to that located on the territory of the country of destination, or of the normal transit of the radiotelegrams to be sent. When the station chosen is not the nearest, the mobile station must cease work or change the type or frequency of the emission upon the first request made by the land station in the interested service which is actually the nearest, the request being based upon the interference which the work in question causes the latter.

§2. A mobile station using Type A1 waves included in the authorized band may transmit its radiotelegrams to a land station which is not the nearest. It is, however, recommended in this case that preference be given to the land station established on the territory of the country of destination or of the country which it appears could most reasonably effect the transit of the radiotelegrams to be sent.

§3. (1) A coast station, to which one or more waves included in the band 125–150 kc/s (2400–2000 m.) are allocated, shall have the right of preference on such wave or waves. (2) Any other station in the mobile service transmitting public traffic on such wave or waves and thereby causing interference to the said coast station must suspend its work at the request of the latter.

§4. Except in the case of distress, communications between ship stations must not interfere with the work of coast stations. When this work is thus interfered with, the ship stations causing it must stop sending or change waves, upon the first request of the coast station with which they interfere.

§5. If the sender of a radiotelegram filed in a mobile station has designated the land station to which he desires his radiotelegram sent, the mobile station must in order to effect this transmission to the designated land station, wait if necessary until the conditions specified in the preceding paragraphs shall have been fulfilled.

§6. (1) A mobile station which does not have fixed working hours must inform the land station with which it is in communication the time of closing and the time of reopening its service. (2) Every mobile station whose service is about to close by reason of arrival in port must notify the nearest land station.

Article 27

Distress waves.

Wave to be used in case of distress In case of distress, the wave of 500 kc/s (600 m.) must be used preferably with Type A2 or B. When it is not possible to use one of these types of waves, Type A1 or A3 may be used. No provision of the present Regulations shall prevent the use by a mobile station in distress of any means at its disposal to attract attention, indicate its position, and obtain assistance.

Article 28

Reducing interference.

Measure for reducing interference

§1. In the case where waves other than the normal wave may be used, the ship station shall follow the instructions of the coast station with which it is in communication. In principle, the normal2877wave of 500 kc/s (600 m.) must not be used for the transmission of long radiotelegrams in regions where the radio work is heavy.

§2. During their hours of service, stations using for their work waves of Type A2, A3 or B, and open to the international service of public correspondence, must continue to listen on the wave of 500 kc/s (600 m.), except when they are exchanging traffic on other waves.

§3. As a general rule, it is recommended that public correspondence traffic be transmitted on waves of Type A1, rather than on waves of Type A2 or B.

§4. All stations in the mobile service are bound to exchange traffic with the minimum of radiated energy necessary to insure good communication.

Article 29 Advice of non-delivery

Advice of nondelivery.

§1. When for any reason a radio telegram originating in a mobile station and destined to land can not be delivered to the addressee, a notice of nondelivery shall be addressed to the land station which received the telegram from the mobile station. This land station, after verification of the address, shall if possible, retransmit the notice to the mobile station, if need be through the intermediary of a land station of the same country or of a neighboring country, insofar as existing conditions or special agreements, if any, permit.

§2. When a radiotelegram received at a mobile station cannot be delivered, that station shall so inform the office or mobile station of origin by a service advice. In the case of a radio telegram coming from land this service advice shall be sent, whenever possible, to the land station through Which the radio telegram passed or, if necessary, to another land station of the same country or of a neighboring country, insofar as existing conditions or special agreements, if any, permit.

Article 30 Period of retention of radiotelegrams at land stations

Period of retention of radiotelegrams at land stations.

§1. (1) When the mobile station to which a radiotelegram is destined has not indicated its presence to the land station within the period of delay indicated by the sender, or, in the absence of such indication, until the morning of the fifth day following the date of filing, the land station shall so inform the office of origin which shall notify the sender. The latter may ask by telegraphic or postal paid service advice addressed to the land station that his telegram be held until the expiration of the fourteenth day, counting from the day of filing; in the absence of such an advice the radiotelegram shall be cancelled after the seventh day. (2) The expiration of any of the periods mentioned above shah, however, be ignored if the land station is certain that the mobile station will soon come within its range.

§2. On the other hand, the expiration of those periods shall not be awaited when the land station is certain that the mobile station has definitely gone out of range. If it presumes that no other land station of the administration or of the private enterprise to which it is subject is in communication with the mobile station, the land station shall cancel the radiotelegram insofar as concerns the routing between it and the mobile station, and shall so inform the office of origin which shall inform the sender. In the contrary case, the radio telegram shall be directed to the land station which is presumed to be in communication with the mobile station, provided, however, that no additional charge results therefrom.

2878

§3. When a radiotelegram cannot be sent to a mobile station due to the arrival of the latter in a port near the land station, the latter station may, if necessary, forward the radiotelegram to the mobile station by other means of communication.

Article 31 Special services A.

Meteorological services. Time signals. Notices to navigators.

Meteorological services. Time signals. Notices to navigators

§1. Synoptic meteorological messages regarding forecasting and general surveys and time signals must, in principle, be transmitted in conformity with a fixed schedule. Radiotelegrams of this class intended for mobile stations must be sent, so far as practicable, at times which will make their reception possible to those stations having only one operator (see Appendix 5); speed of tranmission must be so chosen that reading of the signals will be possible to an operator possessing only a second-class certificate.

§2. During transmissions “to all stations” of time signals and of meteorological messages intended for stations of the mobile service, all stations in that service the transmissions of which might interfere with the reception of the signals and messages in question, must keep silent in order to permit all stations so desiring to receive these signals and messages.

§3. Meteorological warning messages and notices concerning the safety of navigation of an urgent nature for the mobile services shall be transmitted immediately and must be repeated at the end of the first silent period which occurs (see Article 17, section 2.) These messages and advices must be sent on the frequencies assigned to the mobile service to which they are destined; their transmission must be preceded by the safety signal TTT.

§4. In addition to the regular information services contemplated in the preceding paragraphs, the Administrations shall take the necessary measures so that certain stations shall be charged with sending, upon request, meteorological messages to stations in the mobile service.

§5. In the interest of brevity and of proper usage by mobile stations, the meteorological observations sent by stations in the mobile service must, in principle, be written in an international meteorological code.

Radiocompass stations service.

Service of radiocompass stations

§6. The Administrations to the jurisdiction of which radiocompass stations are subject accept no responsibility for the consequences of an inexact bearing.

§7. These Administrations shall report, for insertion in the nomenclature of radiotelegraph stations, the characteristics of each radiocompass station by indicating, for each one, the sectors in which bearings are normally exact. All changes concerning this information must be published without delay; if the change is of a permanent nature it must be communicated to the International Bureau.

§8. (1) In normal service, coast radiocompass stations must be capable of taking and furnishing bearings to ship stations either on the frequency of 500 kc/s (600 in.) only, or on the frequency of 375 kc/s (800 m.) only, or interchangeably on one or the other of these two frequencies. (2) An aircraft station desiring its bearings must, in order to request them, call on the 333 kc/s (900 m.) wave or on a wave assigned to the aerial route in which it is flying. In cases where an aircraft station, while in the vicinity of coast stations, calls them in order to obtain a bearing, it must use the frequency of these coast stations.

2879

§9. The procedure to be followed in the radiocompass service is given in Appendix 8.

Post, p. 2896.

C. Radiobeacon Service

Radiobeacon service.

§10. (1) When an Administration deems it useful in the interests of maritime and aerial navigation, to organize a radiobeacon service, it may use for this purpose: (a) Radiobeacons properly so-called, established on land or on vessels permanently moored; their emissions may be either circular or directional. (b) Fixed stations, coast stations or aeronautical stations designated to function also as radiobeacons, upon request of mobile stations. (2) Radiobeacons properly so-called shall use waves of 285 kc/s to 315 kc/s (1050–950 m.) of Types A1 and A2 exclusively. (3) Other stations designated as radiobeacons shall use their normal transmission frequency and their normal type of emission.

§11. Signals sent by radiobeacons must permit efficient functioning of the radiocompass; they must be chosen in such a way as to eliminate all doubt, when the question arises, of distinguishing between two or more radiobeacons.

§12. The Administrations which have organized a radiobeacon service accept no responsibility for the consequences of inexact bearings obtained by means of the radiobeacons of that service.

§13. (1) The Administrations shall report, for insertion in the nomenclature of radiotelegraph stations, the characteristics of each radiobeacon properly so-called, and of each station designated to function as a radiobeacon, including, if necessary, indications of the sectors in which bearings will normally be exact. (2) Any modification or irregularity in operation occurring in the radiobeacon service must be published without delay; if the modification or the irregularity of operation is of a permanent nature, it must be communicated to the International Bureau.

Article 32 Accounting

Accounting.

§1. (1) Land station and ship charges shall not enter into the international telegraph accounts. (2) Accounts concerning these charges shall be liquidated by the Administrations of the countries concerned. They shall be established monthly by the Administrations to which the land stations are subject and sent by them to the Administrations concerned.

§2. In the case where the operation of the land stations is not by the Administration of the country, the operating company of these stations may be substituted, in so far as accounts are concerned, for the Administration of that country.

§3. For radiotelegrams originating in mobile stations, the Administration to which the land station is subject shall debit the Administration to which the mobile station of origin is subject with the land station charges, with charges accruing from transmission over the general communication system—which will hereafter be called telegraph charges—with the total charges collected for prepaid replies, with the land station and telegraph charges collected for collation, with charges accruing from transmission by special delivery, by mail or air mail, and with charges collected for additional copies of multiple telegrams. Radiotelegrams shall be treated, from the point of view of accounting between the land station and the office of destination,2880

Accounting—Continued.

as telegrams originating in the country where the land station is. located.

§4. For radiotelegrams destined to a country beyond that to which the land station is subject, the telegraph charges to be liquidated in accordance with the above provisions are those which result either from the table of rates, relating to international telegraph correspondence, or from special arrangements concluded between the Administrations of neighboring countries and published by these Administrations and not the charges which might be collected by applying the minimum per telegram or by methods of arriving at. the cost per telegram in any other manner.

§5. For radiotelegrams and for paid service advices destined to mobile stations, the Administration to which the office of origin is subject shall be debited directly by the one to which the land station is subject, with the land station and ship charges plus the land station and ship charges (for radiotelegrams) applicable to collation, but only in the case where the telegram has been sent to the mobile station. The Administration to which the office of origin is subject shall always. be debited, from country to country, if necessary, through the medium of telegraph accounts and by the Administration to which the land station is subject, with the total charges accruing from prepaid replies. Concerning telegraph charges and charges relative to transmission by mail or air mail, and to additional copies, the procedure, in so far as concerns telegraph accounts, shall be in accordance with the normal telegraph procedure. The Administration to which the land station is subject shall, when the radiotelegram has been sent, credit the Administration to which the mobile station of destination is subject, with the ship charge, if any, with the charges due to the intermediary mobile stations, with the total charge collected for prepaid replies, with the ship charge for collation, with the charges, collected for additional copies of multiple telegrams, and with the charges collected for transmission by mail or by air mail.

§6. Paid service advices and prepaid replies to telegrams, shall be treated in all respects like other radiotelegrams in so far as radiotelegraph charges are concerned; i. e. accounts relating to routing in the mobile service.

§7. For radiotelegrams exchanged between mobile stations. (a)

Through the intermediary of a single land station:

The Administration to which the land station is subject shall debit the one to which the mobile station of origin is subject, with the land station charge, with the territorial telegraph charge if need be, and with the charge of the mobile station of destination. It shall credit the Administration to which the mobile station of destination is subject with the ship charge due that station.

(b)

Through the intermediary of two land stations:

The Administration to which the first land station is subject shall debit the one to which the mobile station of origin is subject with all charges collected after deduction of the charge accruing to that mobile station. The Administration to which the second land station is subject—which is the one charged with transmitting the radiotelegram to the mobile station of destination—shall directly debit the Administration to which the first land station is subject with the charges accruing from this transmission, but only in the case where the radiotelegram has been sent to the mobile station.

§8. For radiotelegrams which, at the request of the sender, are routed through one or two intermediary mobile stations, each of the latter shall debit the mobile station of destination in the case of a radiotelegram destined to a mobile station, or the mobile station of origin when the radiotelegram originates in a mobile station, with the ship charge due it for transit.

2881

§9. In principle, the liquidation of accounts accruing from

Accounting—Continued.

communications between mobile stations shall be made directly between the companies operating these stations, the operating company to which the station of origin is subject being debited by that to which the station of destination is subject.

§10. (1) Monthly statements serving as the basis of the special accounting for radiotelegrams, covered in the preceding paragraphs, shall be established radiotelegram by radiotelegram with all useful information and within a period of three months beginning with the month to which they relate. This period may exceed three months when exceptional difficulties arise in the transportation of the documents by mail between the radio stations and the Administrations to which they are subject. (2) Except in the case of an agreement to the contrary, monthly accounts shall serve as a check, and their verification, acceptance and liquidation must be effected within a period of six months from the date of their sending, except when exceptional difficulties arise in the transportation of documents due to exceptionally long duration of voyages. (3) When the detection of differences prevents the acceptance of an account, the amount thereof shall nevertheless, be paid within the period of six months mentioned above, and such rectifications as are subsequently found necessary shall be included in a subsequent monthly statement. The amounts of the accounts which have not been liquidated within the said period, or the period as lengthened as the result of exceptional transportation difficulties mentioned above, shall bear interest at seven per cent per annum, from the date following the expiration of the six months’ period, or, as. the case may be, of the period prolonged as shown above. (4) Liquidation or rectification of accounts presented more than two years after the filing date of radiotelegrams to which the accounts refer, may be refused by the debtor Administration.

§11. The Governments reserve the right to make special agreements among themselves and with private operating companies concerned, for the purpose of adopting other provisions relative to accounting.

Obtaining radiocompass bearings.

Procedure for obtaining radiocompass bearings

Ante, p. 2878.

(See Art. 31 of the General Regulations) I.

General instructions.

General instructions A. Before calling one or more radiocompass stations, the mobile station, in order to request its bearing, must refer to the nomenclature for: 1. The call signals of the stations to be called to obtain the radiocompass bearings desired. 2. The wave on which the radiocompass stations listen, and the wave or waves on which they take bearings. 3. The radiocompass stations which, connected by special wires, may be grouped with the radiocompass station to be called. B. The procedure to be followed by the mobile station depends on varying circumstances. Generally, the following must be taken into account: 1. If the radiocompass stations do not listen on the same wave, whether it be the wave on which bearings are taken or another wave, the bearings must be requested separately from each station or group of stations using a given wave. 2. If all the radiocompass stations concerned listen on the same wave, and if they are able to take bearings on a common wave—which may be a wave other than the listening wave—they should all be called together, in order that the bearings may be taken by all these stations at the same time, on one and the same transmission. 3. If several radiocompass stations are grouped by means of special wires, only one of them must be called even if all arc furnished with transmitting apparatus. In this case, the mobile stations must, however, if it is necessary, specify in the call by means of the call signals, the radiocompass stations whose bearings they wish to obtain. II.

Rules of procedure.

Rules of procedure A. The mobile station shall call the radiocompass station or stations on the wave indicated in the nomenclature as being their listening wave. It shall transmit the abbreviation QTE which means:

“I wish to know my radiocompass bearing with respect to the radiocompass station which I am calling”

“I wish to know my radiocompass bearing with respect to the station or stations whose call signals follow”

“I wish to know my radiocompass bearing with respect to the radio compass stations grouped under your control”

the call signal or signals necessary, and shall close by indicating, if necessary, the wave which it is going to use to determine its bearing. It shall then await instructions.

2897 B.

The radiocompass station or stations called shall prepare to take the bearing; they shall, if necessary, notify the radiocompass stations with which they are connected. As soon as the radiocompass stations are ready, such of these stations as are provided with sending apparatus shall reply to the mobile station in the alphabetical order of their call signals, by giving their call signal followed by the letter K.

In the case of radiocompass stations which are grouped, the station called shall notify the other stations of the group and shall inform the mobile station as soon as the stations of the group are ready to take the bearing.

C. After having, if necessary, changed to its new transmitting wave, the mobile station shall reply by sending its call signal combined, when need be, with another signal, during a length of time sufficiently prolonged to permit the bearing to be taken. D.

The radiocompass station or stations which are satisfied with the operation shall transmit the signal QTE (“Your bearing with respect to me was _ _ _ _ _ degrees”), preceded by the time of the observation and followed by a group of three figures (000 to 359), showing in degrees the true bearing of the mobile station with respect to the radiocompass station.

If a radiocompass station is not satisfied with the operation, it shall request the mobile station to repeat the transmission indicated under C.

E. As soon as the mobile station has received the result of the observation, it shall repeat the message to the radiocompass station, which shall then state that the repetition is exact or, when necessary, shall correct it by repeating the message. When the radiocompass station is certain that the mobile station has correctly received the message, it shall transmit the signal “end of work.” This signal shall then be repeated by the mobile station, as an indication that the operation is finished. F. The data concerning (a) the signal to be used to obtain the bearings, (b) the duration of the transmission to be made by the mobile station, and (c) the time used by the radiocompass station in question shall be given in the nomenclature.

Preamble.

has, at various times, created certain national forests, within the State of Oregon; and Whereas, in order to provide for a proper adjustment of the claims of the State to lands within such national forests, in satisfaction of its common school grant, a memorandum of agreement was entered into under date of March 24, 1925, between the Secretary of the Department of Agriculture and the Governor of the State of Oregon, whereby it was agreed that the said State should relinquish all its 2908title or claim under its grant in aid of common schools to lands included within said national forests, being the whole or parts of certain sections sixteen and thirty-six, and be allowed to select other lands equivalent in acreage and value lying along and within the boundaries of the Siuslaw National Forest, which are located in such position that, when eliminated therefrom, all of said selected lands will lie outside the new exterior boundaries of said national forest; and Whereas, it appears that the public interests would be promoted by modifying Executive order of June thirtieth, nineteen hundred and eight, affecting the Siuslaw National Forest, so as to exclude the areas first hereinafter described, and also so as to allow the State of Oregon, in furtherance of the aforesaid agreement, to file applications to select the lands agreed upon, and hereinafter described, as indemnity in satisfaction of the aforesaid portions of its common school grant;

Vol 42, p. 942.

Whereas in and by section 315 (c) of said act it is further provided that in ascertaining the differences in costs of production, under the provisions of subdivisions (a) and (b) of said section, the President in so far as he finds it practicable, shall take into consideration (1) the differences in conditions in production, including wages, costs of material, and other items in costs of production of such or similar articles in the United States and in competing foreign countries; (2) the differences in the wholesale selling prices of domestic and foreign articles in the principal markets of the United States; (3) advantages granted to a foreign producer by a foreign government, or by a person, partnership, corporation, or association in a foreign country; and (4) any other advantages or disadvantages in competition; Whereas under and by virtue of said section of said act, the United States Tariff Commission has made an investigation to assist the President in ascertaining the differences in costs of production of and of all other facts and conditions enumerated in said section with

Vol. 42, p. 892.

respect to the article described in paragraph 710 of Title I of said tariff act of 1922, namely, cheese by whatever name known, having the eye formation characteristic of the Swiss or Emmenthaler type, being wholly or in part the growth or product of the United States, and of and with respect to a like or similar article wholly or in part the growth or product of competing foreign countries; Whereas in the course of said investigation a hearing was held, of which reasonable public notice was given and at which parties interested were given reasonable opportunity to be present, to produce evidence, and to be heard; And whereas the President upon said investigation of said differences in costs of production of said article wholly or in part the growth or product of the United States and of the like or similar article wholly or in part the growth or product of competing foreign countries, has thereby found that the principal competing country is Switzerland and that the duty fixed in said title and act does not equalize the differences in costs of production in the United States and in said principal competing country, namely, Switzerland, and has ascertained and determined the increased rate of duty necessary to equalize the same.

Increasing duty on specified type of cheese to equalize differences in costs of production.

Now, therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States of America, do hereby determine and proclaim that the increase in the rate of duty provided in said act shown by said ascertained differences in said costs of production necessary to equalize the same is as follows:

Conditions of transfer prescribed.

The transfer of the lands above described is made subject to the following conditions:

(a) In the event that said lands shall cease to be used as a public road or boulevard or devoted to any other than highway purposes, the same shall revert to the United States without notice or action brought. (b) All contracts and specifications with respect to this roadway shall be furnished the Commanding Officer, U. S. Troops in Porto Rico, who shall have the right to approve or reject same. (c) The Commanding Officer, U. S. Troops in Porto Rico, shall have authority, after due notice, to close such portion of the road as he may deem unsafe for traffic during target practice or military maneuvers or exercises on the Escambron tract. 2915 (d) The grade at the starting point at the junction of Norzagaray Street with Salvador Brau Street, shall be such as to insure an approach to Fort San Cristobal via Norzagaray Street equally as good as the present one. (e) The moat drain of Fort San Cristobal may be cut not to exceed 2 meters back of the present break and will be faced with concrete. (f) The road leading to Princesa Battery gate may be removed provided a new road is constructed to place same at least 75 yards in length with an even grade up to said gate; the road to be metal surfaced and of standard width. (g) All buildings which may be disturbed shall be removed to or replaced at such locations as may be designated by the Commanding Officer, U. S. Troops in Porto Rico. A woven wire fence on concrete posts will be placed one meter from the road along the Service Company area and in front of the non-commissioned officers’ quarters on the north of the road with such gates as may be necessary. (h) If it becomes necessary to remove either the 1,000 or 800 yard firing points of the present range, they shall be replaced by extending them to the north, using rock crib or its equivalent. (i) The construction of the road through the Naval Radio Station shall in no way interfere with the operation of such station and shall be approved by the Commanding Officer thereof. (j) A retaining wall of proper construction will be erected wherever it becomes necessary on account of removal of earth in the vicinity of Princesa Battery and east thereof to the end of Fort Abanico. (k) The people of Porto Rico shall convey to the United States, for use by the Navy Department, the southwest comer of the Radio Station, bounded by points 77, 78 and 79, and of the masonry building thereon, as shown on blueprint map of route of proposed road. (l) The people of Porto Rico shall construct a new laundry building satisfactory to the Commanding Officer of the Radio Station and in a location also satisfactory to him to replace the old building which must be razed. (m) The people of Porto Rico shall construct a retaining wall and fence along the Radio Station property, the fence to have two small gates to be placed in locations designated by the Commanding Officer of the Radio Station. (n) The people of Porto Rico shall remove the present northwest radio mast to a position where its guys will be clear of the proposed road, the new position of said radio mast to be satisfactory to the Commanding Officer of the Radio Station. (o)

Vol. 42, p. 942.

that in ascertaining the differences in costs of production, under the provisions of subdivisions (a) and (b) of said section, the President, in so far as he finds it practicable, shall take into consideration (1) the differences in conditions in production, including wages, costs of material, and other items in costs of production of such or similar articles in the United States and in competing foreign countries; (2) the differences in the wholesale selling prices of domestic and foreign articles in the principal markets of the United States; (3) advantages granted to a foreign producer by a foreign government, or by a person, partnership, corporation, or association in a foreign country; and (4) any other advantages or disadvantages in competition; Whereas, under and by virtue of said section of said act, the United States Tariff Commission has made an investigation to assist the President in ascertaining the differences in costs of production of and of all other facts and conditions enumerated in said section with respect to the article provided for in paragraph 27 of Title I of said

That the principal competing country is Great Britain;

That the duties fixed in said title and act do not equalize the differences in costs of production in the United States and in said principal competing country, namely, Great Britain;

That the differences in costs of production in the United States and the principal competing country are less than the amount of the present duties at the rates of 40 per centum ad valorem based upon the American selling price (as defined in subdivision (f) of section 402,

A PROCLAMATION

For a number of years it has been our custom as a nation to observe

National Fire Prevention Week, 1927.

Preamble.

as National Fire Prevention Week the week in which the anniversary of the great Chicago fire of 1871 occurs. During those periods public attention has been concentrated upon the seriousness of America’s fire waste problem through the press, schools, civic organizations and numerous other groups. The results last year were particularly gratifying for in eighty cities of more than 20,000 population no fire loss was sustained during the Week and in many others the destruction by fire was considerably less than their weekly average for the year.

Reports for the current year indicate that some progress is being made toward checking this tremendous source of waste. It is probable that more attention is being directed to this problem by public spirited officials and citizens than ever before. Numerous organizations, national and local, are devoting much study and effort to it with gratifying results. However, the situation still remains so acute that there should be no diminution in our effort to rid the country of the menace of fire.

Therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States of

Recommending week of October 9 to 15, 1927, to be observed as.

America, do hereby designate the week of October 9 to 15, 1927 as National Fire Prevention Week. Each community throughout the land should lay plans for an appropriate observance of Fire Prevention Week and make it the starting point for a program to continue throughout the year. Special attention should be devoted to the prevention of fires in rural districts and in our forests. Because of their limited protective facilities they are often at the mercy of the flames when fire originates. I recommend to all of our citizens that they lay particular emphasis upon the elimination of fire hazards in their homes and places of business and I urge that state and local 2926officials take steps to discover and remedy any defects which may exist in buildings frequented by the public.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Thanksgiving Day, 1927.

Preamble.

Providence this country has been carried safely through another year. Almighty God has continued to bestow upon us the light of His countenance, and we have prospered. Not alone have we enjoyed material success, but we have advanced in wisdom and in spiritual understanding. The products of our fields and our factories and of our manifold activities have been maintained on a high level. We have gained in knowledge of the higher values of life. There has been 2930advancement in our physical well-being. We have increased our desire for the things that minister to the mind and to the soul. We have raised the mental and moral standards of life.

We have had the blessings of peace and of honorable and friendly relations with our sister nations throughout the world. Disasters visiting certain of our States have touched the heart of a sympathetic nation, which has responded generously out of its abundance. In continuing to remember those in affliction we should rejoice in our ability to give them relief.

Now that these twelve months are drawing to a close, it is fitting that, as a nation, and as individuals, in accordance with time-honored and sacred custom, we should consider the manifold blessings granted to us. While in gratitude we rejoice, we should humbly pray that we may be worthy of a continuation of Divine favor.

Thursday, November 24, 1927, designated as Thanksgiving Day.

Wherefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, do hereby set apart and designate Thursday, the twenty-fourth day of November, next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and recommend and urge that on that day our people lay aside their usual tasks, and by the family fireside and in their accustomed places of public worship give thanks to Him who holds us all in the hollow of His hand.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

By the President of the United states of America A PROCLAMATION

American Forest Week, 1928.

Preamble.

For several years a special week has been set apart for public discussion of our forests and of what must be done to safeguard and restore them. Among the agencies making for progress in this direction, American Forest Week has proved its usefulness and I am glad to proclaim it again and to announce that Canada is again, concurrently observing a similar week.

The rehabilitation of our forests demands first of all that the forest fire evil be suppressed. Many of the forested States, with the cooperation of timberland owners, have undertaken organized protection against forest fires; and in recent years, under the Clarke-McNary law, the Federal Government has given its support to the movement. This great cooperative enterprise must be extended and strengthened until every forested county in the United States is safeguarded against forest fires.

But we are still far from the goal of complete protection. Every year, on the average, 80,000 fires scourge our woodlands, steadily undermining their vitality. For this bad situation, the blame fails equally on us all. Public agencies rarely provide adequate protection against fire, the timberland owner is too often indifferent to his property, the forest worker is too often neglectful of the future forest, the average citizen is too often careless with fire in the woods. We must all gain such respect for the forest that its destruction through indifference or carelessness shall be unthinkable.

We cannot permanently abuse our forests with impunity. The soil is the ultimate source of all our wealth and of life itself. One-fourth of our American soil is best suited for forests. Much of this land is already idle. More of it is being made idle by destructive logging and fire. Yet we cannot safely permit our forest land to lie fallow and useless any more than we can permit our farms and factories to lie idle.

To make our vast empire of forest land fully productive of continuous crops of timber will have momentous consequences in our 2941 national life. It will give agriculture the advantage of a new and valuable crop. It will afford permanent employment to millions of men in the forest industries. It will provide raw materials for many industries. It will furnish traffic for our railroads. It will maintain foreign and domestic commerce. It will restore our forests as conservers of soil and water, and as givers of health and pleasure to our people.

We already have made a beginning in forest renewal; but the task is stupendous, and we should permit no satisfaction over what has been done to blind us to the magnitude of what remains to be done.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, CALVIN COOLIDGE, President of the

Designating week of April 22–28, 1928, for observing, and Arbor Day.

United States of America, do hereby designate and set aside as American Forest Week the week beginning April 22 and ending April 28, in this year of 1928. I recommend to the Governors of the various States that they also designate this week for special observance by all our people; and that where practicable and not in conflict with law or custom, Arbor Day be observed during the course of the same week. I urge that during that week all citizens and appropriate organizations—including public officials, legislators, business organizations, educators, editors, clergymen, landowners, and others—give thought to the preservation and wise use of our forests, to the end that energetic forest policies will be adopted in all communities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

DONE at the City of Washington this 24th day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight, [seal] and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and fifty-second.

Vol. 42. p. 942.

provided that in ascertaining the differences in costs of production, under the provisions of subdivisions (a) and (b) of said section, the President, in so far as he finds it practicable, shall take into consideration (1) the differences in conditions in production, including wages, costs of material, and other items in costs of production of such or 2946similar articles in the United States and in competing foreign countries; (2) the differences in the wholesale selling prices of domestic and foreign articles in the principal markets of the United States; (3) advantages granted to a foreign producer by a foreign government, or by a person, partnership, corporation, or association in a foreign country; and (4) any other advantages or disadvantages in competition; Whereas, under and by virtue of said section of said act, the United States Tariff Commission has made an investigation to assist the President in ascertaining the differences in costs of production of and of all other facts aud conditions enumerated in said section with

Vol. 42, p. 860.

respect to the article described in paragraph 12 of Title I of said tariff act of 1922, namely, Barium carbonate, precipitated, being wholly or in part the growth or product of the United States, and or and with respect to a like or similar article wholly or in part the growth or product of competing foreign countries; Whereas in the course of said investigation a hearing was held, of which reasonable public notice was given and at which parties interested were given reasonable opportunity to be present, to produce evidence, and to be heard; And whereas the President upon said investigation of said differences in costs of production of the said article wholly or in part the growth or product of the United States and of the like or similar article wholly or in part the growth or product of competing foreign countries, has thereby found that the principal competing country is Germany and that the duty fixed in said title and act does not equalize the differences in costs of production in the United States and in said principal competing country, namely, Germany, and has ascertained and determined the increased rate of duty necessary to equalize the same.

Increasing duty on barium carbonate, precipitated, tn equalize differences in cost of production.

Now therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States of America, do hereby determine and proclaim that the increase in the rate of duty provided in said act shown by said ascertained differences in said costs of production necessary to equalize the same is as follows:

Rate.

An increase in said duty on Barium carbonate, precipitated (within the limit of total increase provided for in said act), from 1 cent per pound to 1½ cents per pound.

respect to the article described in paragraph 5 of Title I of said tariff act of 1922, namely, sodium silicofluoride, being wholly or in part the growth or product of the United States, and of and with respect to the like or similar article wholly or in part the growth or product of competing foreign countries; Whereas in the course of said investigation a hearing was held, of which reasonable public notice was given and at which parties interested were given reasonable opportunity to be present, to produce evidence, and to be heard; Whereas the President upon said investigation of said differences in costs of production of sodium silicofluoride, wholly or in part the growth or product of the United States and of the like or similar article wholly or in part the growth or product of competing foreign countries, has thereby found—

That the principal competing country is Denmark;

That the duty fixed in said title and act docs not equalize the differences in costs of production in the United States and in said principal competing country, namely Denmark;

That the differences in costs of production in the United States and the principal competing country are greater than the amount of the present duty at the rate of 25 per centum ad valorem increased by the total maximum increase authorized under said section, subdivision (a);

And that said differences in costs of production in the United States and the principal competing country can not be equalized by proceeding under the provisions of subdivision (a) of said section and act, that is to say, by increasing the duty to the extent of 50 per centum of the existing duty applied to the value of the imported article in the country of exportation.

Increasing duty on sodium silicofluoride, to equalize differences in cost of production.

Now, therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States of Amarica, do hereby determine and proclaim that the rate of duty shown by said differences in costs of production of sodium silicofluoride, in the United States and in the principal competing country necessary to equalize such differences, within the limit provided in

Rate,

said section, is the rate of 25 per centum ad valorem based and assessed upon the American selling price as defined in subdivision (f) of section 402 of said act, of similar sodium silicofluoride manufactured or produced in the United States.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done at the city of Washington this thirty-first day of August in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and [seal] twenty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and fifty-third.

The economic and social progress of the nation is dependent to

Fire prevention week, 1928.

Preamble.

a large degree upon the proper direction and control of all elementary forces within it. Fire, a friendly aid and comfort when used properly, becomes a deadly foe when permitted to rage unchecked. The dangers of fire, and to some extent the means of controlling it, have been understood generally from a very early period. However, year by year fire has resulted in the destruction of thousands of fives and much material wealth. In 1927 property loss alone in the United States due to fire is estimated to have totaled more than §475,000,000, while loss of life from the same cause was likewise heavy.

A certain measure of encouragement is to be derived from the fact that fire losses in the United States were decreased in 1927 as compared with 1926. Cooperative efforts on the part of our citizenry in recent years have shown that many types of fires are preventable. Widespread interest and activity in fire prevention have had a marked influence in bringing about a realization of public responsibility in dealing with the fire waste problem. Cities, towns and farming communities, engaging in a constructive campaign to inculcate sound principles of fire prevention in the minds of thinking inhabitants, are accomplishing highly desirable and satisfactory results. There is urgent need, however, to translate this effort into further remedial action. Increased vigilance on the part of all citizens is necessary, for their cumulative efforts will determine the future reduction or increase in our national fire waste.

Therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, do

Recommending week beginning October 7, 1928, to be observed as.

recommend that the week beginning Sunday, October 7, 1928, be observed throughout the nation as Fire Prevention Week. United and coordinated endeavor in reaching the consciousness of every citizen is desired and can be obtained by the concerted action of our press, our schools, our churches and the civic and welfare organizaitons of every community, rural and municipal. During the last few years the observance of Fire Prevention Week has furnished a stimulus and guide for activity throughout the year. With this precedent it is to be hoped that every community will strive continuously for the elimination of fire hazards and put into practice the fundamentals which will be stressed during Fire Prevention Week. The adoption of simple precautionary measures at all times will be rewarded by a higher degree of security to individual life and property.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Thanksgiving Day, 1928.

Preamble.

The season again approaches when it has been the custom for generations to set apart a day of thanksgiving for the blessings which the Giver of all good and perfect gifts has bestowed upon us during the year. It is most becoming that we should do this, for the goodness and mercy of God which have followed us through the year deserve our grateful recognition and acknowledgment. Through His Divine favor peace and tranquillity have reigned throughout the land; He has protected our country as a whole against pestilence and disaster and has directed us in the ways of National prosperity. Our fields have been abundantly productive; our industries have flourished; our commerce has increased ; wages have been lucrative, and comfort and contentment have followed the undisturbed pursuit of honest toil. As we have prospered in material tilings, so have we also grown and expanded in things spiritual. Through divine inspiration we have enlarged our charities and our missions; we have been imbued with high ideals which have operated for the benefit of the world and the promotion of the brotherhood of man through peace and good will.

Thursday, November 29, 1928, designated as Thanksgiving Day.

Wherefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, do hereby set apart Thursday, the twenty-ninth day of November next as a day of general thanksgiving and prayer, and I recommend that on that day the people shall cease from their daily work, and in their homes and in their accustomed places of worship, devoutly give thanks to the Almighty for the many and great blessings they have received, and seek His guidance that they may deserve a continuance of His favor.
