The Barnard poll tallies Willkie 220 Roosevelt 120 Norman Thomas 20 with one vote for Browder and one for Babson. Voters criticize Roosevelt's third term bid, praise Willkie's integrity and business skill, and fear a Roosevelt dynasty while some back Roosevelt for defense and leadership.
A March of Time critique praises Arise My Love as a gay romantic comedy with modest aims. Claudette Colbert and Ray Milland appear engaging as two Americans navigating wartime Europe, their escapade set around Compiegnes and the Atlantic threat. The piece notes sincerity over originality and frames the title as a call to American readiness.
A critique notes Robert E. Sherwood's Shall Be No Night as the only drama probing war's character among recent works. It contrasts the Russo Finnish War setting with others and praises the play for its serious questioning of war's roots and the duty of men to end armed conflict.
A quirky dated letter fragment mocks political slogans and campus life. It mentions Wendell Willkie and “My Day” with varied spellings, hints at Edith and a future title, and jokes about a BWR committee member and scarlet mittens.
The Ramparts We Watch a March of Time feature is criticized as poorly written and acted with superficial treatment of WW I causes and Allied and German actions. It notes reliance on newsreels and local New England scenes, calls the film amateurish and dangerous in its simplifications.
