id Earhart Wants to Enlist As American mobilizes for war, we have received an unusual request. Amelia Earhart, the famous aviator who successfully circumvented the globe not long ago, wishes to enlist in the Army Air Corps as a fighter pilot.

id Landon vs Roosevelt President Landon put a stop to the Democrats' continued New Deal reforms four years ago, choosing to rely on the nation's strength lying in industrial companies such as those he helped establish prior to his presidency. Roosevelt, who has continued to campaign in favor of completing the programs he originally planned for his second term, is now running for president again. While he remains a popular candidate, Landon has continued to criticize his efforts to concentrate power in the hands of the president, and has accordingly avoided similar policies himself.



Threats abroad, both to our own nation and others, remain a reality and neither candidate is in favor of the United States turning a blind eye to them. The question is who will lead the arsenal of democracy through these dire times. Trigger conditions Is United States
