America Outclased IN COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES. HOOVES COMMITTEE’S REPORT. [By Cable—Press Association—Copyright.] (Received 6, 12 noon.) Washington, Nov. 5. Mr. Hoover’s special aviation committee, reporting on the results of six months’ investigation of world-wide I aviation, declares that the United j States was being outdistanced in the development of commercial aviation by all other important nations, despite the fact that the conditions in the the United States were the most favourable in the world for such development. The committee recommended:— (1) The withdrawal of Government participation in non-military flying, including air mails. (2) Government co-operation and aid fo the private airplane industry. (3) The establishment of a bureau of civil aeronautics in the Commerce Department .regulating navigation and piloting, and promoting industry and trade, especially the development of foreign markets for American aircraft equipment. (4) The establishment of State landing fields. (5) Public support through consideration of commercial aviation investments, and modified insurance rates. The committee laid stress on the necessity of ratification of the international air navigation convention, which most of the important nations have already approved.—(A. and N.Z.)
