At the same time China took q
stand in line with United States
views at the international civil
aviation conference.
Kia-Ngau Chang, former Chin
sse minister Of communications
and head Ct a delegation to the
conference, presented his coun'
try's views at a press conference
He said in brief:
The virtual exclusion of foreign
airlines by China before the war
was due to fear Of japanese
penetration, and a revised policy
would be adopted after the war.
China is prepared to welcome
foreign operators on a non-discrim-
inatory basis with rights to be
granted through mutual under
8tdIlolIlS.
China's immediate postwar con-
eern viii be rebuilding of domes-
tic services, with parallel activity
to develop a network of air serv-
ives to neighboring countries, and
eventually to all the world.
China feels that major task
OF the conference is establishment
OF an international aviation auth
ority with equitable representa-
ton and adequate powers for deal
ing with the expanding interna-
tional air services" However, In
the matter of powers for this au-
thority, China's delegation believes
It should be primarily confined to
the technical field, where there is
already a large measure Of agree
ment," Chang said.
This position closely parallels
the announced proposition of the
United States.
