A coast station tax is sub- j ject to the approval of the state on whose I territory the station Is established, and a i vessel tax to the approval of the state whose flag is borne by the vessel. Each one of these two taxes is to be flxed on the basis of an equitable remuneration for telegraphic work. Art. 2. Regulations which will be an nexed to the convention that Is to be per fected will establish the rules applicable to the exchange of communications be tween the posts and on board the vessels. The provisions of these regulations may be at any time modified by common un derstanding between the contracting par ties. Art. 3.
