ACCORD EXPECTED
AT AVIATION MEET
BY JAMES J. STREBIG

ASSOCIATED Press Aviation Editor
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE irterna-
tional civil aviation conference may
be expected to reach an agreement
of at least general nature in ,anoth-
er 10 days of discussion and draft
ing.
That is the outlook today in a
new attempt to unite the democrat
ic world on a problem common to
all: set of rules for commercial
transport flying in the air ocean.
The movement toward success has
been surprisingly rapid in a sur
prisingly frank and open meeting.
In this respect it has no parallel
among the international meetings
previously held.
The United States invitation
brought to Chicago so foreign dele
cations representing their countries
in a field peculiarly filled with ma
tionalistic interests and shaded by
the part which aviation has played
in new kind of war. They came
with four major plans, and no 9TH
ers were presented. These were
basically:
/. The New Zealand-Austrian
proposal - For an international
company to own and operate the
worlds trunk air routes. The con-
ference discarded this plan with
out consideration.
2. The Canadian proposa1-For a
central authority to allocate T
routes, supervise rates and fares,
and generally umpire the interna-
tional airlines. This plan came TO
Chicago a different document from
that which had been laid before
other nations in March. The chang
es represented a shift toward the
United States view, and it since
has moved still farther in that di-
rection.
3. The United Kingdom plan-For
strict control of commercial fly
ing, even to the division of traffic
on a formula founded in the amount
of business between two countries.
In its ramifications lie the prob
lens still deemed toughest TO
solve.
4. The United States overall prop
osition-for an authority for what
ever supervision might be agreed
upon and detailing an air naviga-
ton convention Embodying some
300 pages of 10000 words of tech.
|nical matter, it is toward this plan,
involving the least semblance of
economic powers for any world au-
thority, that the delegates are tend
ing to gravita.e.
Russia didn't come to the con-
vention at all, and thereby attract
ed more attention than any nation
present Although her delegates
turned back while en- route, the So
Wet Union has been offered places
or the executive council by h e
United States, which holds that a
seat should be ready if Russia de-
cides to join the agreement. Wheth-
er this is based on knowledge that
Moscow is merely waiting her
time, an invitation to her to change
her mind, or whether it is being
used to harass certain other par
Elephants, has not been disclosed.
Nineteen Latin American repub-
lies came to Chicago filled with
nationalistic pride and demands for
All equal place in running whatever
agency was established tor the
transitional period to a permanent
world authority. They had hardly
recovered from the exhausting task
of getting accommodated in t h e
Stevens hotel conference headquar-
tiers when they got together and
formed bloc. No other group Of
nations has indicated any POSSIBLE
