COMMENT ON F. R. TALK

Editorial comment on President Roosc-

Vile, Va, follows:
NeW York Herald Tribune-PreSident
Roosevelt has revealed how far his rt
forts went to open some other solution
tU MuSSolin - They were futile, and
Italians are now committed to Il course
which, whatever the outcome in terms of
power politics. is bound TO be disastrous
for them. But since this has happened,
we cannot undo it. We can only accept
it as deeper proof of the conviction that,
as the President says, 'VictorN for the
gods of force and hate would endanger
the institutions of democracy in the
western world 49,.
Scripps HOward Newspapers - Let's
have a truce ON bluff and buster. Let's
avoid being edged. via the. back door, into
any fight until. if we ever must 80 in, We
will be prepared to finish it. And the
foregoing expresses our sentiments about
the belligerent tone that characterized
the Presidents address last night -. O..
This is no time to speak loudly while
carrying a feather buster.
Chicago Daily News-ThiS is the voice
of America, speaking through Franklin
the land, stilling the puny voices of par
tisanship, silencing the quibblings Of
critics, rousing the patriotism and the
united cooperation Of every American
who worthily enjoys the privilege of citi-
zenship This is the kind of leader
ship the hour demands.
Washington POst-The truth and JUS
tice of Mr.. Roosevelts declaration is so
obvious that no voice is likely to be heard
in contradiction . In his long effort
to restrain aggression, the President WAS

BACK YARD LANDING FIELDS
Christian Science MOnltOr)

In the press of war news, an aviation
development of immense potentiality
slipped by the other day with little no.
tice. At Bridgeport Connecticut, Igor
l. Sikorsky flew a helcopter of his own
design and manufacture.
To the apparent satisfaction Of loo or
more witnesses, including technical cX-
perts, Mr.. Sikor,ky warned up his mo
tor. pulled one lever and assembled thirty
feet straight up. He lowered there a few
minutes and then flew in various drcc
tons in his machine that resembles Il
cross between an auto-gyro and Il 1910
Curtiss airplane.
Military Importance Of a machine re
curing no landing fields was immed-
lately leaped upon by many Of the OBJ
servers. Yet, Mr.. Sikorsky appears to
have other plans for his new ship He
points out that it is Of simple construc-
ton, easily adaptable to mass produc-
ton, and is powered with 75-horSe-
power engine, less thar even many Of the
lighter automobiles. Moreover, since The
helicoptcr is designed TO settle TO earth
like a parachute if il motor stalls. thc
extreme reliability of present aircraft
engines is not 50 aCutely necessary.

WE ARE NOT READY,
EVEN If We WANT TO FIGHT

The United States, even if its people
wanted to go to war against Germany
and Italy, is not ready We are woefully
unprcparcd in our armed forces. We arc
woefully unprepared in the number of
airplanes and war machines available
for Immediate use. We are unframed,
unarned undisciplined. Against the
military machines of Europe, we would
be as helpless as little Norway was.
Why talk of going into war when it
would mean going into mass murder
with ourselves as the victims?
If we do nothing else, let's be logical
about this thing-for logic now is a
matter of life and death
Even if we wanted to fight, we could
not be ready for more than year
We've spent seven wears building up a
political machine through relief agencies
and federal bureaus, and neglecting the
non political armed forces We've got TO
overcome that handicap before we can
even talk Of going to war.

the PRESIDENTS
SPEECH

President RooScvclt's speech of Mon
day afternoon was all things to all
men,"
That it voiced the collective spirit of
America there can be no doubt. HIS
words were merely the thoughts Of the
American people in verbal form ms
sympathies are the sympatmeS OF ms
country.
Beyond that, the Presidents declara-
ton was one that might mean any one
of many things.
Imagine yourself British citizen in
threatened London. and You can read
into the speech the promise Of almost I'M
mediate help in materials AND MEN
from the United States.
Imagine yourself in the position of
Adolf Hitler or Benito MuSSolni-con-
sidering all the while what those two
gentlemen mean whcn they speak as
bluntly as President Roosevelt spoke
Monday-and you can read into the
speech the imminent threat of declar-
alton of war by the United States.
Place yourself back again in your own
positon-as an American-and YOU can
find in the Presidents words assurance
that this country Will stand SteadfaStly
against any aggression from abroad. But,
try as you will, you cannot find any
thing which says that this country Will
stay within the Western Hemisphere to
do its fighting.
This is not pointed out in criticism.
1t is said, rather with full realization of
the effect on Allied morale at this time
OF a possible official declaration that
America wants no part of the war. We
the American people, do not want to do
anything to break the morale of the AL
lies. We must realize that declaration
such as many would have the President
make-that we will never fight in Europe
would lessen that morale.
So it is easy to understand why PreSl-
dent Roosevelt said nothing at all about
staying out of the war. 1t IS easy to
understand, too, why he declared that
the cause of the Allies is the cause of
America.
But, for our own knowledge, It is wise
to consider the diplomatic necessity that
motivated the Presidents words. We
must not jump to the conclusion that,
because he did not say we will stay out,
we are committed to going in. He spoke
for the nations across the sea as much as
for the people at home, and his words
must have been heartening to those fight
ing with their backs to the wall against
barbarian aggressors For that, the
President deserves applause.
AS for our going IN, that is another
matter.

ye,oplng new sentiment for getting

erals and admiralS.
So far there is not much talk
about setting up the air force as
4 completely separate arm on the
British style. with Its own de-
partmCnt headed by its own cabi-
net member But the possibility OF
giving both the army and navy

Is being explored.

Men close to the military pc
lure here are stlll inclined to shy
away from the idea of wholly Sc
paratc air force. This includes
some of the most outSpoken critics
of the inability of present army and
navy high commands to realize the
full value of the airplane as mi
ltary weapon.
Chief reason for this is a feel
ing that flying fighting plane for
the army Is an entirely different
thing than flying one for the navy,
and that each branch of the Serv-
ice should have an air corps whose
personnel IS especially trained for
Its own problems. The alleged re-
cent experience of the British in
