AMERICAN PROTEST
DELAYS OVER PERMITS
U.S. LINE’S APPLICATION
(10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. Mr. T. L. Ford, chairman of the seaair committee of the National Federation of American Shipping, issued a statement that though he favoured bilateral treaties as an orderly way to develop air trade routes, he objected to provisions which gave the “green light’’ to foreign interests at the expense of the United States merchant marine. Mr. Ford pointed out that two days after the treaty between the United States Now Zealand and Australis was filed last week, the British Commonwealth Pacific Air Lines applied to the Civil Aeronautics Board for a permit for an air service between New Zealand. Australia, and San Francisco, via Honolulu, and had to wait only two days for a hearing. The American-owned Oceanic Steamship Company, however, filed a similar petition on January 23, 1945, and the Civil Aeronautics Board has not yet set a date for the hearing.
