The Department of State to the British Embassy

Aide-Mémoire

The British Embassy is informed that the Government of the United States has been approached recently by several other governments with a request for an exchange of views on the subject of postwar aviation, with particular reference to the development of international air transport.

The Department of State hopes that it will be possible in the first instance to discuss these matters with the British and Canadian Governments and believes that such discussions would be facilitated if an early indication could be received of the views of the British Government on this general subject.
