AIR TRANSPORT
TO PREVENT FRICTION WORLD CO-OPERATION (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) Recd. 6 p.m. New York, Sept. 29. “A most encouraging aspect of British post-war civil aviation plans which are being advanced from various quarters is a common recognition that international co-operation must replace unrestrained cut-throat competition in order to prevent frictions capable of causing other wars,” writes a New York Times aviation expert in London.
He sums up the post-war aviation picture as follows: — First, Britain is determined to have a strong commercial air fleet, after the war as a means of holding the Empire together and as a potential defensive arm. Secondly, whether tl.ere will be a single Government arrline or private companies of an international airline still must be decided. Thirdly, a subsidies and speed war between* various countries is greatly feared.
Fourth, though the British Empire provides possible bases throughout the world, it is felt that this is more than balanced by the United States’ technological lead and the possible ill-feeling which exclusive use of such bases could engineer. “At any rate. Britain hardly seems like a big monster ready to swallow international air transport after the war,” the correspondent comments.
