CHICAGO AIR AGREEMENT
AMERICA WITHDRAWS NOT AN EFFECTIVE MEDIUM WASHINGTON. (Rec. 8 p.m.) July 25. The State Department announced mat the United States decided to withdraw from the International Air Transport Agreement signed in Chicago in December, 1944, because it failed to obtain international aviation pacts by multilateral means. The State Department said that the recent aviation conference made it clear that the Chicago agreement cannot be relied on as an effective medium for the establishment of international air routes for operation by United States carriers. The United States will now seek agreements through direct negotiations with individual nations (under the " Five Freedoms ” agreement accepted by 15 nations at Chicago in 1944 each country pledged to the other signatories the right of flying over its territory).
