Show SOVEREIGNTY OF AIR WILL SOON BE BIG PROBLEM The legal theory of land ownership owner-ship includes ownership of the air space above the real estate, but the advent of their airplane creates cre-ates a new condition which will inevitably in-evitably affect the legal theory. The development of any worldwide world-wide air transportation operation is dependent, to a large degree, upon an abandonment of a rigid "sovereignty-of-the-air-space" policy pol-icy which has been proclaimed by the nations of the world. This does not means that the United States should give up its claim to control of the air over this country. All that is necessary is that the nations of the earth make reciprocal concessions in regard re-gard of airplanes flying over their territory. It would be permissible, of course, for nations to regulate and channelize such traffic. |
