Competing for rich new markets,
the worlds two biggest commercial
air powers still are as far apart on
restrictive controls as on the basic
political issue of free enterprise
versus government monopoly.
AS at the world conference in

British are insisting on the limi-

plane capacities and landing rights,
while this country believes civil
airlines should be allowed to oper-

regulation.
The United States on this basis
is willing to grant reciprocal rights

fact that most of the passenger and
cargo traffic originated in this
