1768. Reference Department’s telegram No. 1208, February 17, 11 p.m. and Embassy’s despatch No. 14058 of February 23.47 We learn that the British Government has requested Canada to withdraw the provision contained in its proposed aviation agenda, providing that air traffic between contiguous territory not be considered international. We understand that Canada has agreed to do this. The Air Ministry does not like the Canadian proposal for an international authority and is working on a separate one.
