fflpy SEPTEMBER 21, 1922 SOCIETY OF MODEL AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS (London Aero-Models Association.) AT the last meeting Mr. W. E. Evans presented the Society with a Cup to be known as the " Model Glider Record Cup," and a hearty vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Evans for his kindness. It was decided that members should congregate on Parliament Hill on Sunday next, the 24th, at n o'clock for 11.30, when an effort will be made to improve the present record for model gliders. On Saturday last members attended at Wimbledon Common to compete for the " Kelly " Challenge Cup. Unfortunately, the weather was so boisterous that the event had to be postponed till Saturday next, the 23rd inst., at 4.30 p.m. Meetings of the Society will be held on Friday evenings at 7.30 at Headquarters, 20, Great Windmill Street, Piccadilly Circus, W. 1, instead of on Thursdays as heretofore. Anyone interested in model aeronautics will be welcomed. Hon. Secretary, A. E. Jones, 48, Narcissus Road, West Hampstead, N.W. 6. m m m m International Air-Law Proposals IN Buenos Aires delegates to the International Law Association have last month been thrashing out matters relating to crime under international laws. The possibility of illegalities occurring via the air was naturally one of the subjects of which cognisance was taken, and at the discussion upon this section it was agreed that the radius of operation of military aircraft ought to be restricted, and it was decided to appoint a committee to formulate regulations. The following regulations, recommended by the Aviation Law Committee as providing a uniform international code of law, civil and criminal, for persons carried on aircraft—a question riot dealt with in the International Convention for the Regulation of Aerial Navigation, 1919—and amended in certain respects during the discussion, were agreed to :— (a) Civil Jurisdiction (Art. 1).—The airship which is above the open sea or such territory as is not under the sovereignty of any State is subject to the laws and to the jurisdiction of the country of which it has the nationality. (Art. 2).— Passenger aircraft over foreign territory remain subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of origin. Private aircraft over foreign territory are subject to the laws and jurisdiction of such territory only in case of violation of its public safety laws and military and fiscal laws, and violation of its laws governing air navigation and acts committed on aircraft affecting such territory. In all other respects private aircraft are amenable to the laws and jurisdiction of their own flag. (6) Criminal Jurisdiction (Art. 3).—If during a flight of an aircraft over any State or States or their territorial waters without landing, any person on board such aircraft commit any crime, the person charged shall be arrested, in the air if necessary. The accused shall be tried and punished in accordance with Article 2. The State in which the aircraft alights is obliged to detain the accused if necessary and deliver him to the State of jurisdiction. (Art. 4).—Acts committed on board a private aircraft not in flight in a foreign State shall be subject to the jurisdiction of such State, and any person or persons charged with the commission of such acts shall be tried and, if found guilty, punished according to the laws of such State.
