ELEVEN YEARS It is hard to realize that when next month rolls around the United States will have had the services of one man for President for 11 years. So in spite of what some people say and think, Franklin Delano Roosevelt'must have something “on the ball.” Above all partisanship, all claims and counter- these past 11 moments in our history It was in March, 1933, that FDR took office, and his inaugural address he appealed to the nation's courage to bring itself out of the slump with this claims, years have been “The only thing we have to fear is fear, itself.” His annual message one year later was a record of the New Deal’s maiden voyage The outstanding highlight in January, 1935, was social security In January, 193¢. the emphasis of his talk to Congress was on the world situation which he hoped could be met by a “twofold neutrality,” fisst ,a refusal to permit belligerents to buy arms, ammunition or implements of war from this country; second, restric- tions upon the exports of “any and all American proglucts calculated to facilitate the prosecution of a war in quantities over and above our normal exports of them in peace.’ Washinglos Merry- Go-Round that Argentine Gilbert morning and calle Foreign Office to gentina had fin; tremendous | had gotten up early break relations with the Axis Then, in 1937, his inaugural contained the famous statement: “I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill- clad, ill-nourished.” Again in 1938 his annual message dealt largely with domestic problems. But in 1939, the rumbles from Munich were heara across the world, and the President spoke of “methods short of war for bringing home to aggressor govern- ments the aggregate sentiments of our own people.” By Janu . 1940, Europe was aflame with war, and the President even though still hopeful that we could keep out, asked for increased funds for the national defense while the isolationists and America Firsters threw emery dust in the gears. In January, 1941, the President gave his “Four Freedoms” speech which carried forward the implica- tions contained in his “Arsenal of Democracy” address of the month before, and by that time the question of peace or war was, as the President stated, up to the dictators of the aggressor nations Another year brought a month old to the United States when the President declared in January, 1942, for “total victory” and “no compromise.”’ Last January he affirmed his faith that’ “this year of 1943 will give to the United Nations a very substantial advance along the roads that lead to Berlin, Rome and Tokyo.” He was correct.

While results not as excellent as those obtained when the bombardier has a clear view of his target, they have been beyond original expectations and no doubt will show improvement as the program proceeds. In the war over Eufope, winter weather often has thwarted Allied bombing opeartions.

Often large industrial palnts—even centire cities—have been duplicated in dummy construction to lead fliers away from the real targets. Now, if the lccations of the real target are known, no amount of duplication will be of much defensive importance. The bombs will drop according to a navigation pat- tern, not according to visual impressions which airmen get from the ground. As was pointed ou in the news story announcing the discovery. the Allies receive, through it, a double advantage. They can attack in spite of weather conditions—and the same weather conditions will pre- vent the enemy from. sending up much fighter pro- tection, or from directing effective anti-aircraft fire. Thus the big planes gan take their time, secure above the cloud banks which, a month or so ago, served as almost perfect protection. for the now vulnerable targets on the ground below.
