Your D.1404. [2]

1. We have replied to American Minister accepting invitation to
international air conference in United States on November 1st. [3]
In doing so we stated that it was assumed that the agenda would
not necessarily be limited to the list of objectives set out in
the American Note and that in our view the agenda should be broad
enough to allow scope for an exchange of views regarding the
future of international civil aviation after the provisional
period has elapsed. We stated that in many respects the questions
in Item 3 (a) [4] of the United States list of objectives appeared
to us to be among the most important matters to be considered at
an international air conference at this stage.

2. We agree with the suggestion that British Commonwealth talks be
held in Canada on October 23 and have informed Canada of our
acceptance of invitation to these talks. [5]
