VIEWS ON PANAMA
"SAFETY ZONE"
London, Yesterday.
INTEREST HAS BEEN AROUSED in naval circles in London by the unofficial reports received recently of the important decisions reached at the Panama Conference of the Republics of America to the effect that a neutral or safety zone of variously stated depth from the coast is to be established.
It is understood that the Zone is in no way intend- ed as an extension of territorial waters, but belligerents are to be asked to accept the limitation of their operations which would be involved. This way
of proceeding, it is, in keeping the war from proximity of their coasts, it must be for them agreed by experts here, is clearly a
to decide whether or not to accept wise step, for while belligerents, and
restrictions which limit their enjoy- particularly the Allies, may be an-
ment of certain well established xious to assist all 'neutral countries
rights.

On the other hand, neutral States are entitled and bound to demand that belligerents shall abstain from hostilities in their territorial waters, and it is not a hostile act if a neu- tral repels, even by force, an attack upon his neutrality.
GREAT WAR MEASURES During the Great War, Norway, Sweden, Spain and Holland forbade belligerent submarines to enter their territorial waters except in the case of distress.
All authorities on naval history point out that, in olden times, many extravagant claims were put for- ward by various nations as to the .limit of their territorial waters, but since those days such claims have been drastically modified and it is that no now generally recognised country can properly claim juris- diction over large areas of the ocean nor the right to control or exclude the movements of foreign ships on the high seas.
This applies equally to belligerent operations, through a belligerent can, of course, restrict his operations of his own free will if he so wishes.
PROHIBITION ERA
Since the Great War, the import- ance of the limit of territorial waters has been brought to the notice of the public in several ways, among others by reason of the National Prohibi- tion Act of America.

The width of the general belt of territorial waters is now widely accepted as being three miles. British Wireless.
