Saab's designers have come up with an unusual configuration for the Viggen. To obtain both maximum efficiency at full throttle aloft and the slow landing speed needed for the short makeshift runways, Saab Chief Designer Erik Bratt, 46, turned to a design used at the time of the Wright brothers, but seldom since. Bratt has placed a canard-a nose wing with adjustable flaps-in front of the Viggen's main delta wing. The canard will help the Viggen make tighter turns-especially at supersonic speeds-and will slow it rapidly for landings...
...Bratt's plane, which will be ready for flight testing two years from now, promises to be a bonanza for a large part of Swedish industry. Though the Swedish air force has traditionally acted as its own prime contractor on planes, Saab will perform that role for the Viggen and is now letting out subcontracts to 1,500 other Swedish firms. L. M. Ericsson, Sweden's aggressive manufacturer of telephone equipment, will be responsible for the Viggen's radar, Standard Radio (a Swedish subsidiary of International Telephone and Telegraph) will make the operations control system, and Svenska...

Last summer Mr. Anderson went to Europe, studied first-hand the Bratt system of liquor-control in Sweden, gathered other material on which to devise a liquor-selling system for the U. S. The ''Anderson Plan" was a highlight of the separate opinions which won the endorsement of five other Commissioners...
More reliable is the statement that the path of peace in the thirties will be rough going. Major Bratt's challenging book, That Next War?, is a distressing picture of what may be the future. Mussolini with his foot in the boot of Italy bids fair to kick slumbering Mars into action. Germany edges towards the Polish corridor while La Belle France arms herself to the teeth and Hungary eyes her lost provinces in Roumania. If one adds to this score the obvious red flag flying in Moscow the promises of 1918 seem truly dyed in no uncertain...
