Three years of half-hearted mobilization cited as delaying victory. Roosevelt proposes national service as total mobilization of all resources, including men and women of all statuses, to speed the war. The piece echoes calls from Roy Blough, Ike, and Roosevelt on sustaining ground we gain.
Dorothy Thompson reflects on a British American press debate over Greece Italy and U.S. policy.

War Mobilization chief James Byrnes urges a law to treat Petrillos and Averys alike.

The discussion centers on what Congress could do to compel labor or management to obey government directions in the Petrillo dispute.

The author argues that a union controlled economy risks higher wages, prices, and reduced profits, threatening capitalism and democracy.
