and
"philosophy

ii
was
explained
mat
this
did
not
imply
threat
against
the
civilian
population.
There
was
historic
precedent
in
connection
with
the
attendance
of
President
Roosevelt
at
the
comer-
ence.
It
was
the
first
time
that
chief
executive
of
the
United
States
had
visited
a
foreign
country
while
his
own
nation
was
at
war.
It
was
the
first
time
tnat
a
President
had
flown
while
in
office.
l
He
crossed
the
Atlantic
by
clipper
plane.
It
was
the
first
time
since
Lincoln
that
a
prcsioent
had
visited
a
war
theatre.
Their
active
war
duties
made
It
Impossible
for
Premier
Joseph

of

and
