US. Shipping Spokesman Critical Of Air Policy
(Received 1.30 p.m.) LOS ANGELES, January 31. A SPOKESMAN for the Matson Navigation Company (Mr A. J. Pressel) attacked the Civil Aeronautics Board policy of granting United States air rights to foreign air-sea combined interests, while denying overseas air rights to American shipping groups.
Addressing the Foreign Policy Association, Mr Pressel criticised the exclusive United States rights to fly overseas given domestic air carriers.
He cited the recent approval of the Australian National Airways' route to San Francisco as an example.
He claimed there was discrimination against American shipping companies. “Many of these foreign lines are Hying planes built in the United States during the war,” he said. “They are flying from fields built without private capital during the war and largely owned by shipping interests, principally the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand; which for years has directly competed with the American Oceanic Steamship Company between Australia. Hawaii and California.”
