KEY WEST PLAYERS ARE PLANNING TO
PRESENT "OUTWARD BOUND" MAR. Is

Judging from the many people
who ask each day when we are
doing another play, it would
seem that the public is eagerly
and impatently awaiting our
next production, Janice White,
president of the Key West Play
ers said today.
i After a series of setbacks due
to illness, transfers, etc, within
the cast, we are happy to an
nounce that, !"Outward Bound
is now scheduled for a run of
six nights, opening March Is.
This is distinguished play, and
as appealing and timely today as
when it was first produced a
number of years ago in London
and New York. To quote a few
of the most authoritative critics:
The nicked and ink-stained
little critical yardsticks I which
we all carry to the theater with
us are of pitifully little use when

able things which make Out

considered a great achievement.
Hope exists that a successful out
come of the United Nations negoti-

the fold.
The clash between the British and
the American viewpoints is de-
scribed this way by one of the
American observers at the confer
ence who has been working steadily
for the consummation of the Chi
cago plans:
SIN the United States" he said,
1--WE have always looked upon air
transport primarily as an instru-
ment of trade. We are still young
country with an expanding and high
ly competitive economy and with
no bitter memories of recent bomb
ings of our homeland. The British
viewpoint, which was shared to
some degree by many European
countries, reflected a mature and
stabilized economy, to be parcelled
out among those participating in it,
plus fear of explosive internation-
al rivalries. Canada's position pos
sibly reflected British desires, plus
fear of being crowded out by it's
more powerful neighbor under a
system Of unrestricted competi-
ton.

an opportunity for free commercial
intercourse between nations, with
resulting benefits to- all of them;
the other two countries britain and
Canada) were seeking protection
against cut-throat competition and
international mistrust.''
Reducing these different points of
view to specific operational plans,
boiled down largely to whether or
not global authority would be set
up which would govern the location
of international routes, regulate the
'frequencies" (number of flights or
stops, which is where the conpeti-
ton comes IND and rates. In fact

In addition to these agreements
the diagram for the international or

form of treaty which must be ap-
proved by the various countries.
This organization is composed of an

would have one vote, and coun-

function until the permanent or

In previous column set forth
the achievements of the conference
on international aviation, nipple
mentation of which it is hoped will
be reached by a second gathering
in May, probably before the United
Nations deliberations at San Fran
cisco have been concluded. set
forth certain views on the accom-
plishments of the first aviation
gathering, as expressed by 1t. Col.
William Mitchell of the army air
force, which, although they were
his own and not the official opinions
of the government, were known to
represent the attitude of a number
Of high air force officials.
I think that the satisfaction ex-
pressed by Colonel Mitchell, in what
has already been accomplished to-
ward establishing the freedom Of
the air." reflects the general feel
ings of the industry. Although the
point was not expressly brought
out in the comment in military cir
cles, ] believe the one thing which
pleased the industry was the fact
that a conference, supervised as it
was by a government official (then
Assistant Secretary of State Adolph
Berle), had built a framework with
in which private enterprise and bust
ness and technical ingenuity could
be rewarded and not fenced in"
by restrictive bureaucratic regula-
ton.

Freedoms Essential
To u. S. Flight

You will recall that the delegates
recognized the fact that freedom
Of the air" was not as simple thing
as freedom of the SEAS" because
vessels stop at frontiers since ship
lanes lead only from harbor to har-
Dor, while aircraft crosses borders
and passes over the sovereign terri
tory of foreign nations.
Thus it was necessary to divide
the perquisites of the anyways into
five freedoms. The first two are the
right OF innocent passage-right to
fly over a country, and the right to
land for non-traffic purposes-that is
to stop at foreign airport for re-
fuelling or other facilities. These
two are essential to America since
our aerial ambitions encirc1e the
globe, and that can't be done, either
from practical or a profitable
standpoint, in one jump.
Because of complications which I
will mention later, involved in the
OtA4OA AAON0O1A1os LII ~ WV WS@S
grouped in one form of multilateral
agreement drawn up at Chicago.
The other three freedoms, en-
braced in the second agreement,
were described as follows: the right
to disembark passengers, mail and
freight from the country of origin of
the aircraft: the right to embark
passengers, mail and freight des-
tined for the country of origin of the
aircraft; and, in addition, at the sug-
gestion of Canada, a fifth freedom
was added in the form Of certain
provisions of right of entry and tech
nical regulations.
Of course, Russia's last-minute re-
fusal to attend the Chicago confer
ence was great disappointment to
all concerned, but the reconciliation
of what appeared at first to be
sharp difference between the United
Kingdom and the United States,
finally reconciled through the "hon-
