CANADA-Ii. S. AIR AGREEMENT ANNllliNCEli

New Pact Designed To Simplify For- malities Of Air Traffic.

(CI. By Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA, Jan. iii-Recommen- dations for four new aviation ar- rangements, to be ratified by ex- change of notes between Canada and United States. are designed to simplify formalities of international air traffic and unite radio and weather information facilities of the two countries ‘into one vast iri- ter-locking system for the purposes of commercial flying.

Details of the new proposals were made public here today. They were worked out at a conference in Washington last week between Canadian and American experts. The new arrmgements, when rat‘.- fied. will rcpace the aviation ar- rangement agreed to in 1929.

The new arrangements will be

under the following headings: Alr navigation. reciprocal issue of air- men certificates of airworthiness 1°!‘ BXPQrl. and the use of radio for aeronautical services. . All four arrangements cover fly. ’ng over continental United States, Alaska and Canada. indudlng terri- torial waters. and apply to all air- craft other than military, naval, customs or police.

Each country agrees to grant, in time of peace. liberty of passage above its territories to aircraft of. the other but the establishment -of any regular air servce to. over or away from the territory of each country will be subject to specific consent.

Subject to observance of passport, immigration, quarantine and cus- toms regulations, aircraft of the two countries will enjoy reciprocal priv- iieses, and pay the same charges and taxes as each country imposes on its own air traffic.

Provison is made for exchange of information and n11 relevant

aws and regulations between the two countries. Each country has the right of reservation of air com. mvrvil-whollv in that country for its own aircraft except that right i5 Riven aircraft engaged in inter- national traffic to carry goods or Pfl-‘fifilliscrs internationally.
