ter of record that as late as the
autumn of 1918, American
armies at the front used almost
exclusively French or British
artillery and aircraft.
Unprepdred Today
Calling attention to these
facts does not remotely intimate
that the Congress or the Presi-
dent have any thought of taking
part in another war on European
soil, but it does show that in
1917 we were not ready to con-
duct large-scale land or air oper-
ations. Relatively we are not
much more ready to do so today
then we were then-and we can
not guarantee a long period free
from attack in which we could
prepare.
I have called attention to the
fact that I'VE must have armed
forces and defenseS strong
enough to ward off sudden at
tack against strategic positions
and key facilities essential to
ensure sustained resistance and
ultimate victory" And I have
said I'VE must have the organ
ization and location of those
key facilities so that they may
be Immediately utilized and
rapidly expanded to meet all
needs without danger of serious
interruption by enemy attack"

Nevertheless, as the Execu-

am compelled to look facts in

OBSCURE CANVAS
 MAY BE VALUABLE

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. T.-(UP) Cleaning away the grime Of cen- turies has revealed an obscure rec iigious painting that hung unnoticcd for 80 years in Harvard uniyersity's Fog Art museum as c possible mas terpiece of Fra Fllippo Lippi.
 Though museum officials hesi- tated to identify the artist definite ly, they said that the richer, more subdued tones disclosed by the cleaning indicated that the paint ing, "st. Jerome and the Two Saints" was the work of the 18th century Florentine master.
 Only eight other examples of Fra Lippi's work are in the United States, seven in New York galleries and one in the Walters gallery in Baltimore.
 Previous to the cleaning by R Arcadius Lyon, restoration expert, the painting was believed the work of Fra Diamante, one of Fra Lippi's less important followers. The paint ing, measuring six feet by five feet and in the shape of Gothic panel, depicts three figures against a background of rocks and foliage.
