THE FREEDOM OF THE SEAS,
The importance of Secretary Gresh-

limit. What is commonly known as
and fair dealing among nations, and
like the unwritten law of personal con-
duct it has developed gradually with
the advance of civilization. Original-
ly there was no law between nations
except the law of might. Each did to
the other whatever it dared to do. As
civilization has advanced, nations
have gradually subjected themselves
to rules of mutual respect, and thus
there has grown up a body of law
sometimes only uuderstood, but some-
times definitely expressed in treaties
or conventions, that formulates the ac-
cepted understanding.
The doctrine of maritime rights is
an example of this sort of develop-
ment, Even within this century there
were no recognized maritime rights ex-
cept those of the fastest ships and the
heaviest guns, It was the United
States that really led in the battle for
the freedom of lawful commerce and
the exemption of merchant vessels
from search or seizure on the high seas,
Little by little the right of interference
with commerce has been limited, by
the consent of nations, to times of act-
ual war, to the immediate territorial
Jurisdiction of each nation. The re-
cent tendency has been to go even be
yond this and to forbid interference
with lawful commerce even close to
shore, except in the existence of actu-
al warfare or where a blockade has
been established or publicly proclaim-
ed.
A nation has a right, of course, to
