The freedom of action on behalf of military radio stations throughout the world and the subsequent use of these stations for peace-time communications result in a complete dislocation of assignment and the use of frequencies by all nations of the world. It is, therefore, necessary as soon as war ends that steps should be taken to reestablish the lines of communication of the various nations in accordance with the new situation which exists. In order to do this representatives of all nations must be brought together in international conferences for the discussion and settlement by international treaty of those things on which agreement is required to avoid interference and provide for orderly operation of radio services. The transmissions from a radio station do not stop at international borders, and the radio station in a small country, unless controlled, can completely disrupt the channels of communication between other nations, large and small. At the Washington Conference of 1927, the United States realized that the problems of radio were not the same in all parts of the world and that there would be need of agreements in the various hemispheres and the various continents of the world on the use of frequencies capable of causing international interference. |
