FDR Urges Air
Be Made World
Ocean of Trade
By James J. Streblg' '
.Associated' Press Aviation Editor
CHICAGO. Noy. 1 -WV Presi
dent Roosevelt called today for
action to make the air a world
ocean of peaceful commerce and
.backed his plea with a strong im
plication that the United .States
would supply aircraft for all when
they are freed from war traffic.
-lln a message of welcome-read
at the opening session of the in
ternational , civil air ' conference,
Mr. Roosevelt said: i
n hope you will not dally with
the thought r of creating great
blocks of closed air, thereby trac
ing in the sky the conditions of
possible future wars. I know you
will see to it that the air which
God gave to everyone shall not
become the means of domination
over anyone.
Beginning Set
I With the defeat of one of the ;
axis countries, he said, transport
Aircraft should released "in
numbers sufficient to make be
ginning. ' - . H- -'
When both enemies have been
defeated, they should be available
In quantity. Every country has
airports and ' trained pilots, j and
practically' every country knows
how to organize airlines.
"It would be a reflection on the
common sense of nations if they
were not; able to make arrange
ments, at least on a provisional
basis, making possible the; opening
of. much "needed klr routelj
rat Baa fUs:;'.;:':i-:U-:f
The significance, of j&ls lies In
the fact, thai today no other coun
try is building -airplanes capable
of world commercial traffic. I The
United States hat been supplying
transports for military routes! for
all the United Nations. It would
be difficult for other countries to
fly international routes for some
time without the; use of American
planes. ; - . v
