Roosevelt’s Yalta move births a united world order
The piece credits Franklin D. Roosevelt for pressing at Yalta to form a functioning United Nations Organization ahead of hostilities ending with Germany and Japan. It compares his gamble to Wilson’s failed League of Nations effort and notes Truman’s quick San Francisco call, Vandenberg’s Senate influence, and Russia’s Iran controversy as turning points toward open, public diplomacy and a real international constitution led by the United States and Great Britain.

Illusionary government goals curb building and wage gains
The piece denounces Civilian Production Administration limits on construction as misdirected, arguing prices and materials controls cause shortages. It claims lumber and other building inputs remain scarce under OPA rules, pricing builders out of markets and preventing usable wealth and postwar housing. The author asserts wages will not rise without price increases, challenging the administration’s plan to build 2,700,000 houses for veterans while constraining other construction.
