AVIATION INDUSTRY HELD
OPPOSED TO SUBSIDY
GOVERNMENT GRANT
DECLARED NOT NEEDED
.
OPERATORS FEAR EFFECTS
OF FEDERAL RED TAPE
'
SEN. SMITH SAYS FARM
BILL WILL BE REWRITTEN
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. The avi
ation Industry or a representative
portion of It toolc the report of the
maritime commission on "aircraft
and , the merchant marine" on the
chin. They were officially speechless,
but not because the report took: their
breath away.
What they needed, as suggested In
this column Ust month, came true.
The maritime commission approached
them, bearing gifts. They are silent
officially on the subject, but, when
and If a generous congress hands
them a subsidy, as the report sug
gests, they are going to reply, "No,
thanks."
Unless the flying weather changes
between now and then, this Is about
what representative spokesmen of the
Industry will say:.
"We don't need a subsidy. New
lines may. Let them take It, but
were, afraid of getting governmental
red-tape Into the feed-lines.
"Foreign competition doesn't bother
us because, while there may still be
a 'froedonv-or ibfl' seas,' there Isn't
much 'freedom of the air.' Any ship
under a foreign flag can steam into
New York harbor.
"This la not true of planes. Only
foreign nations which permit our
planes to land on their shores re
ceive reciprocal rights here.
' "But foreign nations (even sister
democracies) aren't crazy about hav
ing any foreigners flying high, wide
and handsome over their territory
which every now and then contains a
few secret fortifications as well ss
babbling brooks, landing-fields, mea
dows and pastures green."
That Is why. aside from the fact
that they donf want to be put un
der the commission, or the depart
ment of commerce or the postofflce
or anywhere but the Interstate com
merce commission, thst the airplane
people report low visibility when they
look for the merits of the report.
Mr. Kennedy himself says that "It
seems fairly evident that the volume
of passenger, mall and express traf
i. ..nKui. n aircraft Is ample In
the transatlantic field, for example,
to create Income nccesary to eventual
profitable operation" ana man targe
subsidies wouldn't be required, ex
cept on other routes "where the Waf
fle la lighter."
The Industry, If congress asks It.
will have something runner " j
..n,.i th.t. hein Isn't needed In
the construction field either, as It
Is In the shipbuilding Industry. It
will assert that Americans fan build
ni.nu cheerier than Europeans can.
Of course, there Is another reason
why the flying business gets a little
alr-atck when It leafs the report. It
Is somewhat afraid of Drover Loen

PONTIAC. Mich., Nov. 18. (AP)
The third General Motors corpora
tion sit-down strike In three days
threw 17.500 workers Into Idleness
here today and the local plant ol
the Fisher Body Co. again was held
by strikers.
Although the two previous inter
ruptions were short-lived there were"
some Indications that the present
tie-up might continue longer.
Estimates of the number of men
holding the Fisher Body plant ranged
from 75 to 600. Control of the plant
sraa assumed late -yesterday after
noon when the night shift went on
duty, but many workers left at once
when It became apparent that no
production was In prospect.
George Method, chairman of the
Fisher Body bargaining committee,
chosen to negotiate with the man
agement on Monday's sit-down, is
sued the following ( statement this
morning:
"The tactics used by plant super
visors were responsible for the re
volt and the stoppage of production
Wednesday. Employes reluctantly
agreed to resume work pending nego
tiation of existing grievances, wnen
the parley with the management
started Wednesday morning, tney
learned of the dismissal of four men.
The Incoming night shift refused to
work because of loyalty to tneir
lenders and because they believed
these men hsd been unfairly treated."
Method was one of .iu four men
suspended by the management as
a result of.the sit-down which ended
Tuesday morning.
Because of the second nsner sit-
down here the Pontlac Motor Car

AGREE TO DISCUSS
RECIPROCAL PACT
Year of Exploratory Work
by Two Governments to
Bear Fruit Far-Reach-ing
Implications Are Seen
OTTAWA, Ont., Nov. IB. (AP-Can-
adlan Press) Canadian Interests to
day watched closely developments of
the contemplated Anglo-American
trade agreement. The possibility has
been advanced that Canada might
have to sacrifice some of her pref
erence rlghta on the British market
to facilitate the negotiations.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. (AP) The
United 8tates and Great Britain
agreed today to negotiate for a re
ciprocal trade pact, a decision fraught
with far-reaching economlo and po
litical Implications.
It waa the first formal step to
ward an objective long sought by the
Roosevelt administration as en In
dispensable feature of Its program
for liberal lea t ion of world commerce.
The decision waa announced by
Secretary Hull tn a statement as
serting merely tbat the United States
'contemplates'' such negotiations.
Actual start of the negotiations,
expected within a few weeks, will cli
max more than a year of exploratory
work by representatives of both gov
ernments In London and Washing
ton.
Hull's announcement, released si
multaneously with a statement to
the British house of commons on
the aubject, gave no hint of the ba
sis of approach agreed upon nor any
details of the long preliminary con'
versa t ions. s
Thero appeared good reason to bt-
lleve. however, that the British gov
ernment probably consented to con
sider granting to some American pro
ducts treatment equal to that which
It now accords to goods from 'the
British dominions under "empire
preference."
If an agreement, even In principle.
were reached on this point, It would
be the first time that a foreign na
tion had broken through the Ottawa
agreement of 1933 under which the
British commonwealth ; of nations
adopted a schedule of preferential
tariffs favoring empire product to
disadvantages of outside goods.
Secretary Hull haa striven, since
his reciprocal trade program, started
In 1034. to obtain an agreement with
Great Britain In the conviction that
closer Anglo-American economlo co
operation Is easentlel to any general
lowering of world trade barriers.
