The Department of State to the Canadian Embassy
Memorandum
The Department of State is grateful for the Canadian Embassy’s memorandum of February 7, 1944,38 transmitting copies of a memorandum outlining the views of the Canadian Government regarding international air transport, including a proposal for establishing an International Air Transport Authority, which has been read with great interest.
The United States Government hopes to be in a position to furnish the Canadian Government with a summary of its views on the development of international air transportation at an early date. In the meantime, it is believed that the suggested agenda regarding proposed preliminary conversations on this subject, which was given to Mr. Pearson on February 15, will furnish the Canadian Government with a general indication of the points which the United States Government believes might be suitable for exploratory discussions at this stage.
