a As Far as This War Is Concerned

"IN THIS COLUMN YESTERDAY WE PUBLISHED some comments from the magazine Business Week to the effect that the jet plane, for which Allison is going to manufacture engines, is not destined for this war but for "the next one. | Allison officials say that conclusio is wrong.

It is not correct to assume that Allison isn't going into “quantity production” of jet engines just because it is using only $12,500,000 worth of factory, machinery and tools furnished by the Defense Plant Corp., the spokesman added. As a matter of fact, he said,

that the senate will have to ratify any permenent air navigation convention framed by the civil aviation conference, According to one version of the American discussions with Viscount Swinton, British civil aviation minister, and C. D., Howe, Canadian minister for reconstruction, it is being stressed, meanwhile, that interim arrangements for commercial flying, by executive agreement, must conform with existing air legislation. President Roosevelt, it wag said, can make a “first class working agreement with other nations,” under the “broad” terms of the civil aeronautics act of 1938. But that law, it was added, would not permit delegation of economic and political control powers to a world authority.

Law Permits Entry

Under existing law, it was pointed out America can permit. the entry of [foreign planes at commercial airports and experts said the right of transit through U. 8. alr space also could be established, One American official here said the conference “had reached the stage where you match your obJectives’ ugainst the other fellows.” He left the impression there would be ample give and take on the i major issues of regulation of number of round trips between countries, fixing of fares, allocation of routes and control of subsidies,

Treaty Defeat considered

But to take these matters out of the realm of intergovernmental negotiations and to place them under |f control of a world authority set up by treaty, it was argued, would risk defeat of the treaty by 33 senators. Two senators, Josiah Bailey (D. N. C), and Owen Brewster (R. Me.), are on the American delega- |, tion. Bailey is a member of the conference committee working on the new air treaty. It was believed the American draft treaty providing for an internal authority having only consultative and advisory powers over economies matters represented the proposal most likely to obtain senate approval.

* Canads, Britain Hold Out

Canada already has moved far toward the American position on principles. to govern international flying. She favors competition on the airways and an operators’ conference to put floors under rates. But she still holds to her proposition that supervision of these matters should be in the hands of an inter-|y nal*body. Britain's position 1s that total world trafic should be divided on a national quota basis. This constitutes one of the .principal issues in the three-way talks now going

on, Some Agreements Reached

Edward P. Warner, vice chairman of the civil aeronautics board and an American delegate, meantime told a press conference that there has been “remarkable” agreement on standard technical practices which “are essential if there is to be any air navigation at all” He sald he hoped the tentative agreements reached here on communications systems, weather reporting, minimum fitness standards for pilots and air worthiness of aircraft would be put into force by the nations represented, pending improvements based on later experience. These agreements eventually would be annexed to the air treaty.
