THE 1940 COMMANDER

General Electric Radios for 1940 embody enhanced ear and eye values afforded by larger and more beautiful cabinets, definitely greater audio output, widely expanded tone range,

extra sensitivity and selectivity, stability of performance, and the new Alnico-magnet "DYNAPOWER” speaker- all important values to you in selecting your radio,

TROPIC-PROOF CONSTRUCTION Reliability for continuous, full- power, and long-life perform- ance under the most severe climatic conditions, is another great General Electric engineer- ing triumph. The 1940 Tropic- Proof models are the result of several years' testing in General

Electric's "Humidity Cham- ber," which subjects parts and complete receivers to humidity and temperature conditions more severe than the worst of the TROPICS. Result-full measure of reliability to your benefit and satisfaction,

The Under-Foreign Secretary said the Government did not consider further action, beyond the already declared policy, would be of assistance in the matter, especially when the extreme difficulty of reporting observance of the violation of rules was considered. It will remembered that the British and French Governments published a joint declaration on September 3rd in response to President Roosevelt's appeal, which set forth the intention to spare civilian populations as well as historic buildings, provided the
