AU these problems will be the sub ject of further study and consideration before they are presented for the decision of the conference Itself. American Ambassador Brings Up Air Problem. Commercial aviation was brought to the forefront by Ambassador P. of the American Fletcher Henry delegation, who brought In amendments to the proposed commercial aviation treaty which would alter the treaty In at least one Important respect. One amendment provided for granting to signatory countries the right to agree among themselves as to what zones shall be prohibited to civilian nvlatlon excepting from the provisions of the convention only military and government controlled aviation. Under the original clauses any plane engaged In postal, customs, police or other governmental service privately owned or otherwise was exempt from the terms of the treaty. Under the amendment only "aircraft owned, controlled and operated by tne contracting state in connection with these services are exempt. No discrimination Is made as between national and foreign privately owned planes. League of Nations Overlooks America, Delegate Says.
