of the postwar. world and V the other United Nations.
 Five hundred air delegates and alr experts from al the United Nations will convene on the Stevens hotel In Chicago for the air conference. It will almost rival one of the political conven tions. Chicago was picked for the conference because neither erowd- cd Washington nor New York had Q hotel which could conven- iently house so many delegates.
 Already the issues are rigidiy draWn-and some of the dele- gates are not too happy about them. Tho showdown is between Great Britain and the United States, Briefly put, here are their respective positions;
 UNITED sTATEs.-We favor full and free competition across ell the oceans to all
 c0untFieSI We want any U. s.
 aviation company to have the
 right to Ay to London, Paris,
 Berlin, Cairo, Australia, New
 Zealand. 1n return, we would
 give other nations the, same right to land here. Tie British and Dutch. ct al., could put as many companies ln the field as they wish and let them all land here.
 GREAT BRITAIN-FavoFs regulated alF traffic by . few
 selected companies. In flying
 between New York and London, for instance, the British would measure the traffic. If 90 per cent of the passengers were
 American, U. '. planes would carry 90 per cent Of the lead.
 The Dutch would get 5 per cent, K they produced that
 many passengers, and each
 country pFop0Ptlonately, The same rule would Do applied tO
 other air routes.
 COOPERATION
 ALLsIAIP0RTANT
 What the British want to avoid is sewing the United States put thousands Of planes into tFans.oceafic operation iInmedi- ateiy after the war, They know we have both the planes and the pilots. We will need to use them. We can put so many companies flying on 50 many different lines that smaller countries won't Do able to compete. As . result, the British argue, each country should 90 in for It's own national line and subsidies. m
 PreSident Roosevelt, on the other hand, believes that cofns petition between all companies and oil countries will sharpen air wits, make for faster, better air developments. He is dead opposed to caTtels, either 0t1 the ground or in the air.
 Most Of the smaller c0un- tries, however, line up with Great Britain. They sec no chance for their small RiF Hines unless they do.
 BaSlcaiiy, the question boiIs down to the fact that we have the planes, Britain has the bases. Her islands, doninionS, crown colonies cover the Seven Seas. Neither country can fly without the other, This first step an ifl. teFnAtional cooperation ig going to be all.important. n COP CIIAVT
