I saw Mr. Yost of the Munitions Control
Division of the State Dept. this morning and put
the matter to him.     He at once handed me the
enclosed booklet "International Traffic in Arms"
and referred me to pages 22 and 23.   He said

sojourn to Canada and to report to the Collector

of Customs when it returned to the U.S.    The title
must of course remain in the hands of the Company
and not be transferred in the meantime to us. Mr.
Yost said that although technically the plane was
supposed to be operated by a U.S. licensed pilot
during the entire period of its sojourn abroad, nobody
would be likely to raise any difficulty about one of
our pilots testing It once it had got into Canada.
Mr* Yost added that there had been one or two enquiries
already about similar cases.
