As a commercial transport, the airplane will also serve to keep the peace. Commercial airliners will make the world much smaller, and no nation will be a great distance from another. We shall all be able to travel by air to the most far-distant country in a matter of hours. All nations will be closer neighbors, and we shall all have a better understanding of our neighboring nations. The more we visit and mingle with the people of the entire world the more we can help to spread the doctrine of democracy of America. The airplane will play a great part in eliminating the greed and jealousy that breeds war. The young people of today will govern America tomorrow. The airplane will be the vehicle through which they will learn to know the peoples of the world. Through this better understanding America may always be the symbol of peace and prosperity. However and wherever you fly, here’s wishing you all “Happy Landings!” [Illustration] INDEX OF PERSONS Allen, Brigadier General James, 22 Allison, James A., 77 Arnold, General Henry H., 29, 37, 70 Bacon, Roger, 6 Baldwin, F.
