Abstract
UPON agreements among the nations of the world on the future development and organization of civil and military aviation may depend the very existence of civilized progress and freedom as we know them. Upon agreements among the nations of the world, by which they yield up some part of their national sovereignty to an international controlling body, may well depend a world organizing for peace. The failure to arrive at such agreements, the demand by each nation that its national sovereignty must be kept intact in the air, on the sea, and on the land, will ultimately lead to another world war, far more disastrous in its effects than the present one—one from which, indeed, the world may not recover for many generations.
