 54STAT.] MULTILATERAL-TELECOMMUNICATION-APR. 8, 1938 [666] §5. For radiotelegrams originating with on-board stations, the administration to which the land station is subject shall debit the administration to which the on-board station of origin is subject with the land charges, the charges pertaining to the course on the general system of telecommunication channels-hereinafter called telegraph charges-the total charges collected for prepaid replies, land and telegraph charges collected for collating, charges collected for delivery by special messenger, mail or air mail, and charges collected for copies of multiple telegrams. For transmission over telegraph-com - munication channels, radiotelegrams shall be handled, from the stand- point of accounts, in accordance with the Telegraph Regulations. [667] §6. For radiotelegrams addressed to a country situated beyond the one to which the land station is subject, the telegraph charges to be settled in conformity with the above provisions shall be those resulting either from rate tables pertaining to the international tele- graph correspondence, or from special arrangements concluded among administrations of bordering countries and published by these administrations, and not the charges which might be collected by applying either minimum charges per telegram, or methods for rounding off prices per telegram in any way whatever. [668] However, for CDE radiotelegrams and for radiotelegrams of the European regime, the 5-word minimum provided for by the Regulations must be taken into account. [669] §7. (1) For radiotelegrams addressed to on-board stations, the administration to which the office of origin is subject shall be debited directly by that to which the land station is subject, with the land and on-board charges plus the land and on-board charges applicable for collating, but only in the case where the radiotelegram has been transmitted to the on-board station. However, in the case covered in §6 of article 9 of the Additional Regulations [No. 893], the adminis- tration to which the office of origin is subject shall be debited with the land charge by the administration to which the land station is subject. [670] (2) The administration to which the office of origin is subject shall always be debited from country to country, if necessary, through the telegraph accounts, and by the administration to which the land station is subject, with the telegraph charges, with the total charges appertaining to prepaid replies, and with the telegraph charges per- taining to collating. With respect to charges concerning copies of multiple telegrams, the normal telegraph procedure shall be adopted with respect to telegraph accounts. [671] (3) The administration to which the land station is subject shall, so far as the radiotelegram has been transmitted, credit the administration to which the on-board station of destination is subject: [672] (a) with the on-board charge; [673] (b) if necessary, with the charges accruing to intermediate on- board stations, with the total charge collected for prepaid replies, with the on-board charge relative to collating, and with the maximum charges fixed in the Telegraph Regulations for copies of multiple telegrams. 193470°-41 -PT. n-21
