Compromise Forecast
In i. S.-British Views
On World Air Rules
BY w. H. SHIPPEN, Jr.
Aviation Editor Of The Star.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-While the
American and British positions
on the regulation of postwar air
traffic remained far apart today,
delegates to the International
Civil Aviation Conference here
predicted that an agreement yet
may be worked out on a compro-
mise basis.
This view gained ground follow
Ing the speech by C.. D. Howe, Ca
madam minister of reconstruction, at
yesterdays opening session. While
basically supporting the British de-
sire to set up an international regu-
latory body with broad powers, Mr..
Howe also indicated q willingness
to compromise on certain points If
necessary.
Canada Will Not Obstruct Plans.
He declared that if the conference
should fail to reach an agreement
and it became necessary to continue
the prewar system of international
air operations, Canada has no in
tention of pursuing an obstructive
attitude in dealing with transit or
landing rights"
However, it was obvious from the
speeches made at the opening ses-
sion by Assistant Secretary of State
A. A. Berle, chief of the American
delegation, and Viscount Swinton,
the United Kingdoms Minister for
Civil Aviation and head of its group
here, that there is wide gulf be-
tween the positions Of London and
Washington.
Mediator Role Seen for Canada.
Canada, in view of its close rela-
tions with both nations, may be able
to act as mediator
Mr.. Berle, in presenting the Amer
lean viewpoint, declared that the
United States considers the British
plan of setting up a World Civil
Aeronautics Board" as visionary and
lacking precedent in either law or
experience.
The United States, Mr.. Berle said,
favors an international convention
on purely technical matters, a world
agency with consultative functions |
in the economic field and pact bar
ring interference with legitimate
operations carried out by treaty
among the nations. However, it in
sists on continuing the present plan
of arranging actual operations and
schedules through bilateral treaties
among the countries directly af-
fected.
Berle Stresses Farley Importance.
Mr.. Berle made it plain that he
considers the present conference
proper place to work out such oper-
ating agreements, which would sup
plement general pacts protecting the
right of innocent transit"

sought to allay fears that the United
States expected to use its vast pre-
ponderance of aviation equipment
to get strangle hold on the worlds
postwar air business. He said that
while he believed this country was
entitled to keep the air routes it had
built up before the war, 1t would
make planes available to all CO.
operating nations.
While supporting the basic Brit
ish viewpoint on international regu-
lation, Mr.. Howe declared that If
the present conference should fail,
Canada would not follow an OBJ
structive policy so far as landing
rights are concerned. This point
is important as undoubtedly some
of the postwar Pacific routes must
cross Canadian territory.
American Officials ENCOURAGED.
Our record has been good in the
past" Mr.. Howe said. TT will re-
main good in the future. But
though Canada's immediate and di-
rect interests probably would not
be endangered by continuance Of
the prewar system, we know that
our long-run interests, in the crea-
ton and maintenance of peace
full and prosperous world, would be
gravely endangered"
American officials were encour-
aged by this statement. believing 1t
was indicative of an attitude which
permits compromise and offers hope
for the gradual solution of conflict
ing viewpoints.
1t is naturally expected that both
the United States and Great Britain
will seek to influence Canada to
adopt their respective viewpoints.
Delegates Of more than IL nations
spoke during the two public sessions
yesterday, and their support of the
positions of the larger powers fol-
lowed the expected lines. Panama,
Brazil and Mexico generally followed
the United States trend of opposing
a world regulatory body. New Zea-
land, India and Canada generally
favored the British plan, while Aus
tralia went ever further by propos-
Ing observation-disclosures air lines
