"Here the basic conflict over civil aviation is analyzed in order to discover, if possible, how best it may be resolved. Since concerted international action should serve a common purpose, the author has sought to develop a policy which would be mutually beneficial to all participating nations. In his search for such a basis, he has outlined a program which he shows should do much, if generally adopted, to assure the economic stability, prosperity, and consequent peace of the world."
