AMERICAN WAR
ACTIVITY
President's Tour
WASHINGTON, Apl. 30 (A.A.P.)
President Roosevelt has just
completed an inspection . of eleven
army posts, one naval . air train
ing centre, four war plants, one
marine base and; a W.A.A.C.
school in 20 States. He travelled
7652 miles In 17 days, and said
he was convinced that the: armed
forces and. the home-front fac
tories were both in stride. He
wondered, however .what could be
tione" after victory wll;h"1;he''camps
and- plants .in: whiclv millions had
been invested.
The president said he was im
pressed by the- achivements of
women in industry. In the avia
tion plants 30 to 50 per cent, of
all employes were women. He
-found that the country as a whole
possessed a better perspective on
the war -a better - sense, of pro
portion, was more sober - in tem
per and- more intelligent in Its at
titude than a good part of Wash
ington. __ .
