N orld } fhe only progress the confer- ce seems to make is to pro- @d from one deadlock to the mt. At last reports it finds it- if deadlocked on a document hich at best can merely regis- the: fact that the final result a deadlock. Nhat is the trouble? to begin=with, the conference Rpped off on the wrong foot i has consistently remained of step with the forward rch of- world cooperation as jablished at Teheran, Dum- ‘ton Oaks and Bretton Woods. eT UNITED NATIONS ‘The first mistake was to in- (2 non-members, or the United tions—Spain, Portugal and -litzerland, which in the very sure of things are pro-fascist tel anti-Soviet. 7irst Rebuff: The Soviet Union used to attend a conference 'a non-United Nations charac- , thus establishing as a fun- mental point of policy that all EK stwar problems can be solved fyperatively only among the fited Nations. j ‘first Lesson: World economic Dblems cannot be handled suc- esfully if we attempt to treat fm @S separate and apart mi the central problem of co- eration for world security.

ANGLOLAMERICAN CONFLICT From the first mistake to the second is but a short step. Second Mistake: The US dele= @ation entered the conference under the militant slogan of “free air,” which was aimed di- rectly at the British position, and which resulted in splitting the gathering into American and British wings. ; In the American press the issue is presented~as between free enterprise and cartels, in which we appear as the guard- lan angels of freedom and the British as the cartelized devil. Actually, this is not the issue. There are monopolies son both Sides. The difference is that the Americans find it advantageous to have free air competition for the same reason that the Brit- ish favored free trade during the dustrial monopoly in world com- merce. : : Unfortunately for world eco- nomic cooperation, the American delegation has won its point. The new air organization pro posed is to be merely a con- sultative body, without power to resulate rates, quotas and TOULeES. : This leaves Britain the altern- ative of seeking to protect its | sir position by extending its air cartels, and by bilateral and re- gional agreements directed pri- tition. Second Lesson: Hconomic riv- alries between Britain and the United States must be adjusted through compromise, in the first period when they enjoyed an in-} marily against American compe- |. ‘NEWSPAPERS | MAGAZINES BOOKLETS and PRINTING of all DESCRIPTIONS QUALITY and SERVICE | EAST END PRINTERS 2303 E. Hastings HA. 0095 place by the United States, if the prime task of world security is not to be made much more difficult. ; Economic isolationism — the policy of the U.S. delegation at Chicago—is merely the reverse side of the coin of political iso- lationism, and holds equal dang- ers: for our country. BRETTON WOODS PATTERN Fortunately, we have another pattern on world economic mat- ters— the one established at Bretton Woods. Here unanim- ous agreement was reached by delegates of 44 United Nations on proposals to establish a world stabilization fund and investment bank. ie is necessary to point out, first, that it was a United Na- tions conference, and, second, that its proposals achieved una- nimity precisely because they re- sulted from Anglo-Soviet-Ameri- ean agreement.

The difference is that at Bret- ton Woods they could be adjust- ed because of the active partici- pation of the Soviet Union which led to subordinating. ~ Anglo- American conflicts to the com- mon objective of expanding world markets and world security. Which leads us to the - Third Lesson: Economic rival- ries between Britain and the United States can be minimized in the field covered at Bret- and adjusted to the needs of world security only through ac- tive Anglo-Soviet-American co- Cpera ation. The best thing that can hap- pen at Chicago is for the Civil Aviation Gonference to come to has served at least one good pur- pose in revealing the pitfalls presented by conferences which are not of an: United Nations character. In any case, a new conference will be necessary in the Bretton Woods manner if we are to solve some of our world aviation problems.
