SPEAKER SUGGESTS BYRD PARTY EAGER WORLD AR CODE Head of Canadian Delegation| Proposes Exchange of Standards for Plane 0. K. Ab appeal for establishment of an in- ternational code of standards governing airplane manufacture and_certification for alrworthiness was laid before the International Civil Aeronautics Con- ference by G. J. Desbarats, deputy minister of national defense of Canada and_chief of the Canadian delegation | to the conference, at the closing plenary session _this morning in the United States Chamber of Commerce Building. ‘The first concrete proposal for future international action laid before the con- ference, it is in line with the hope of offictals that in calling the meeting, the first of its kind in history, the founda- tion tight be laid for an international code governing the growth of commer- cial air transportation throughout the waorld.

No formal action will be taken during the ses- sion on the proposal, it was .indicated, since this is beyond the powers of the delegates under the terms of their ap- pointments.

Canada, while being a signatory state of the international convention, has a working eement with the United States by which the certificates of one country are recognized by the e “With the increase in aviation now experienced in all countries, it is very desirable that a much closer ment should be reached by all coun- tries interested in aviation This is particularly true in a country situated as is Canada, where, although the fac- tories in the country produce a small nu‘r;lebet (é: fiirfhr:n, thztoperntlnl "1- quirements at Iy time necessi- tate the lmparumt cnnsiderable numbers 'of aircraft and aircraft parts from different countries.” ‘The airplanes imported by Canada from Great Britain, the United States, France and worthiness certificates issued by the country of origin, which are based on entirely different requirements, result- ing in considerable co: n. llnlm is h!;hl{kdulm.lga he said, that al oraft aircraft nhnulmut to universal lunm of quality and safety.
