IN INTERNATIONAL
AIR TREATIES
LOOM

international treaties to formu-
late airWorthiness standards for all
types of aircraft and aeronautfcal
supplies may grow from the first
international Civil Aeronautics Con-
terence. meeting here today.
The first step toward the estab-1
Iishment or international airworthi.
ness standards was made at the
morning session OF the conference
in the United States Chamber of
Commerce auditorium by q. j..
Desbarats, deputy minister Of ma.
tionaI defense of Canada and head
of the Canadian delegation.
The statement embodying the
first suggestion of international
agreements to be made at the con-
ference was read to the delegates by
Desbarats before the opening Of the
formal program.
Challenge to u. s.
The statement contained a, direct
challenge to the United States, as
it pointed out with emphasis that
this country had not entered into
the agreement of the allied coun-
tries following the World War,
concerning the exchange between
nations of certificates OF airwortIli-
ness in the export and import OF air.
craft and parts.
tDesbarats urged that the dele.
gates, on returning to their own
countries, press the question of ac-
complishing the setting up of the
desired standards.
The conference rose and gave an
ovation to Henry Ford as the pio.
neer automobile manufacturer, now
directly interested in aircraft con-
struction, was introduced to the
assembly by Assistant Secretary of
Commerce William p. MacCracken,
president pro tenn. Of the conclave.
Just before appearing in the audi
torium, Ford had been subjected to
rapid-fire barrage of questions on
aeronautics by more than a score of
newspaper correspondents in an ad.
jacent room.
Ford Looks Into Future
Standing beside the model of the
Harmon trophy, which was presented
to Colonel Lindbergh yesterday, the
wizard of Dearborn predicted freely,
fully and almost fantastically about
the future Of aviation.
He envisioned dirigibles with air.
plane wings, aircraft of such sizes
as to dwarf the biggest planes of to-
day by comparison, planes with
huge wings capable of providing ac.
commodations for scores of passen.
gers. He emphasized again and
again that the next 25 years of ayia-
ton will see progress in flying
which would stagger the imagina.
tion of the layman of today.
AS MacCracken rescued" Ford
from his inquisitors, the magnate
turned and shook hands with Lind
bergh, who was standing on the
outer rim OF the group, listening
intently.
The newspapermen Immediately
surrounded Lindbergh, who, at first
reticent, finally was led to predict
that there will be more progress
in aviation in the next 25 years
than in the last"
Please, don't want to say any
thing about aviation at this time"
Lindbergh repeated" / think the
conference will speak for itself. 1t
is a big thing-a great step for
ward"
