TRADE WAR LOOMING U.S. SENATOR’S FEARS (9 a.m.) WASHINGTON, March 23. Senator Brewster told the Senate that a commerce sub-committee was studying a proposal to establish a 1,000.000,000 dollars air line to handle American foreign air trade. The United States had departed from the Chicago aviation conference declaring war on Britain and Russia in the air.
Senator Brewster attacked the United States commitment to freedom of the air as a policy of cut-throat competition. He said it had initiated a trade war in the air that might have catastrophic consequences. The United States at Chicago had attempted to align as many countries as possible against Great Brif/iin, with Die result that Britain, in the recent White Paper, had very definitely declared war on the United Stales.
