Executive Order No. 2011
[To enforce neutrality of wireless stations.]
THE WHITE HOUSE, August 5, 1914.
Whereas Proclamations having been issued by me declaring the neutrality of the United States of America in the wars now existing between various European nations; and
Whereas it is desirable to take precautions to insure the enforce- ment of said Proclamations in so far as the use of radio communica- tion is concerned;
It is now ordered, by virtue of authority vested in me to establish regulations on the subject, that all radio stations within the jurisdic- tion of the United States of America are hereby prohibited from trans- mitting or receiving for delivery messages of an unneutral nature, and from in any way rendering to any one of the belligerents any un- neutral service, during the continuance of hostilities.
The enforcement of this order is hereby delegated to the Secretary of the Navy, who is authorized and directed to take such action in the premises as to him may appear necessary.
This order to take effect from and after this date.
WOODROW WILSON.
