CORNELL WASHINGTON, April 20 (IP) President Hooscvelt ended 20 kI it t u war Inspection lour today with mi Icli'ii Hint the youth of Aini'i'k'ii, milking iim (it in dustrial plants mid military camps, might well give a yciir'i service to tlii'lr government in the post-war urn. Ilii IiikI traveled 71152 in 1 1 on In seventeen clnyii, checking up on widely scultcied wiir activities nttd dropping down Inlo Mexico to confer with President Munuol Avlla Ciimacho. Mr. Hooscvelt told reporters accompanying him thnl t lie trip convinced him that tho armed forces nnd the home front fee (oriel nre In their iitrlde, but Hint he win wondering whnt could he done, lifter victory li won, with camps and plnnls in which millions Imvo been In vented. He hud no specific plan or program to offer but he em phasized the benrflts In physlcul condition nnd mentiil alertness thnt men mid women In icrvlce and war-workors uniform! hnd realized In the Inst few months. And ho indicated that he thouifht their tralnlnit should bo extend ed to nil young men and women In tome form after wo win the war. Service Contribution Objecting to tho term "com pulsory military Bervlce," the chief execullvo preferred to peak of a year's contribution of services to the government. Any program that develops, he said, probably would be only partly military. The president left Washington April 13. When ho returned Into this morning, he had swung through most of the southeastern states, down to Monterey, Mex ico nearly 150 miles below the border out to Denver and back through tho middle of the coun try. Ha visited eleven army posts, four war plnnts, and one marine base, one WAAC school and ono naval air training center. Ho talked with a dozen governors and at least double that number of plant executives. Saw Action Kvorywhore he went, Mr. Roosevelt saw action. He suw green troops in the first days of their training, and hardened troops just about ready for an expedition to tho battle zones. Ha saw the most minute facets of military training, even sampling three times tho food tho neophyte soldiers wero eat ing. He learned how the army schools its men for tho multitude of duties tltcy must perform, sev eral times watching combat problems employing real am munition. Ho saw bomber and fighter planes on the assembly lines and In the air and a clattering factory rolling out 30 caliber ammuni tion by the carload. Stories Released News stories on the early part of his trip were released midway of his travels. He went "off the record" again after parting with Mexico's president at Cor pus Chrlstl, Texas, April 21. This was his Itinerary from Corpus Chrlstl on; April 22. Spent the day In seclusion with members of his family at the ranch of his sou, Klllnlt, a colonel with tho army ir forces In North Africa. April 23. Travollcd northwest ward across Toxas, through a corner of Now Mexico and Into Colorado. April 24.

Saw the nrrny show off tho tremendous offensive power of an armored division, with tanks, artillery, planes and infantrymen using livo ammuni tion. The deepest Impression which Mr. Roosevelt brought back to Washington was one of a vast Im provement In the armed forces, since ho made a similar tour last September, accompanied by an encouraging acceleration In the production of the munitions they need on the combat fronts. Critical of Capital As on thnt former trip, he re turned critical of Washington. Ho snld ho hud found thut tho country as n wholo had a better perspective on tho war and t better sense of proportion than the national capital.

Y. special train, the president snld the wholo temper of tho coun try was fur more sober and far mora Intelligent than the attitiido of a good part of Washington. The people generally, he sniu, not only aro in the war but iiIno understand It. They do not fol low Washington's example, he snld, and, as he put it, magnify something of a tenth degree of importance and put it on front pages. Balance Events Furthermore, he declared, the tendency In the rest of the coun try, which he said is In contrast with the capital, is to evaluate correctly and give the right rel ative Importance to world ovents and the progress of actual, fight ing. Mr. Roosevelt made no formal speeches on the second half of his Journey. Several times, he spoke informally, and ha told reporters he thought he was about right when ho asserted at Fort Riley that the army had been going through Its growing pains In thn last few months, hut now has grown up. Tha Improvement could be seen not only in tho troop themselves, he said, but also In tho housekeeping of tha urmy in the things It wears and eats. Engenders Confidence Asked whether ho had, as n result of his inspections, "any greater confidence In tho new moves to come in Europe," the chief executive replied In tho affirmutivc. lie said, too, he thought the country was catching on to the advantages of the training which men and women are getting In tho service, as well as In war In dustries. Ho commented on a marked gain In their health nnd physical well-being and on tho way a por tion of thorn who missed much of their formal schooling aro now learning reading, writing and arithmetic as well as skilled trades. When you sec all the, tremend ous camps, with a capacity of maybo 3,000,000 or 4,000,000 men, the president asserted, you can't help wondering what will happen to them when the war is won and whether some type of training should continue, partly to avoid a net loss on equipment on which millions have been spent.
