O.- Brewster told the Senate that a Commerce Sub-commit-tee was studying a proposal to establish a 1,000,000,000-dollar air line to handle ‘ American foreign air trade.

He attacked the United States commitment to freedom of the air as a policy of cut-throat competition. He said it initiated a trade war in the air that might have catastrophic consequences.
