TERRITORIAL WATERS
PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE DISCUSSION. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright PANAMA CITY. September 24. Several delegations to the PanAmerican Conference suggested an extension of territorial waters, only differing on the width of the proposed “primary defence band.’’ It is reliably stated that opinion is crystallising in favour of a 300-mile limit. / The proposal has not be registered formally pending the plenary session tomorrow. It may then be advanced jointly by a majority of the delegations.
It is explained that it envisages no extension of peace time jurisdiction but the creation of an area in which belligerency will be banned.
Mr Sumner Welles will outline the position of the United States at to morrow's session.
