MILITARY AVIATION
Britain Proposes Abolition CAPTAIN EDEN S WARNING Official. Wireless. Rugby, Feb. 16. When the General Commission of the Disarmament. Conference to-day considered the British proposals for the abolition of military aviation and the control of civil aviation, Captain Anthony Eden, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, maintained that unless air development was regulated it would “bring stark tragedy In its train.” International control of civil aviation was necessary .to make possible the abolition of aerial armaments and the removal of the air bombing menace. The American delegate, Mr. Hugh Gibson, said that its peculiar geographical position made the application of the proposed control neither feasible nor desirable for the United States. A committee of eighteen members has been appointed to draw up the questions of principle contained in the original proposal and subsequent amendments.
