ARMY'S ANTIDOTE FOR FLYING FORTRESSES is this twin-motored multi-seater fighting plane which passed
its initial test flight with flying colors. A pusher plane with propellers behind the wings to leave the frontal area clear for machine
gun fire, this sky raider carries more powerful armament than an y fighter ever built. A crew of five has six guns at its disposal and
a supply of light bombs. With the tremendous speed of a racing s hip, the craft is believed easily capable of overhauling the “Flying
Fortresses” which themselves fly more than 250 miles an hour.

PRESIDENT TALKED
RADIO WORLD PEACE
AMERICAN POLICIES
1Pv The A • i ifert Pre :>A
WASHINGTON. D C . Oct. 13.
—President Roosevelt’s renewed
plea for active steps to preserve
peace, was interpreted by many
observers, as designed to quiet
critiism that his poliy of inter
national cooperation might lead
to war.
Country Not Be Aloof
Declaring in a radio speech
last night, here, his refusal to re
cognize that war in other parts
of the world does not guaran
tee this country's aloofness from
! conflict, he said:
“In a world of mutual sus
picions, peace must be affirm
atively reached. It cannot be
just wished for: it cannot just
be waited for.”
Has Had Experience
He added significantly: "Remem
her that from 1913 to 1921 I was
fairly close to world events tak
ing place in that period. While
I learned much of what to do. I
also learned much of what not
to do".
A Moderate Course
To many observers this appear
fid to be an expression of the
President’.- ntention to pursue
a moderate course in foreign af
fairs.
Roosevelt also emphasized that
the conference of signatories_ ot
the nine power treaty will seek
a solution for the Eastern con*
flict. by agreement.
He said the United States pro
poses ot cooperate will all sig
natories, includit’g China and
Japan.
