CIVIL AVIATION
BRITAIN'S FUTURE AIMS NO SECONDARY ROLE (Rec. 7 p.m.) RUGBY, Aug. 25. Britain will not accept a secondary role in civil aviation. Stating this at a luncheon given by the British Overseas Airways Corporation, the Secretary of State for Air, Sir Archibald Sinclair, added: “We want to see civil aviation built up in an orderly fashion and on an economical basis. Britain does not seek to impose any particular framework to secure that, end. We shall not show ourselves unaccommodating in any discussion. We want all of the United Nations whose squadrons have fought so gallantly beside us in war to share with us in future international air transport in peace.” Our objects in the air, Sir Archibald added, were to see that civil air transport should become a means of uniting nations and not of plunging them into rivalry, and provide our Empire with an air transport service that could contribute to the prosperity of its people.
