Bevin States Britain’s Greece Policy Critique
In a column, Bevin defends Britain’s use of force to restore order in Greece as a decision shaped by the British government with Roosevelt’s involvement at Quebec. The piece argues for public disclosure of foreign policy and criticizes secret diplomacy as dangerous, urging transparency and better public understanding. The author also notes manpower policy debates and a misread Missouri Valley Authority article, while lampooning a poet-secrecy controversy around Archibald MacLeish’s state department nomination.

Nagoya Hit by Major Superfortress Attack From Saipan
Nagoya, Japan's third largest city, faced a large B 29 raid from Saipan with heavy explosions and fires reported. More than 100 Superfortresses participated, bombing from the east to counter headwinds, aiming at precision and reduced altitude to improve blast effects. The attack follows Tokyo raids and included reports of wide area damage, with Japanese claims of interceptor losses and palace grounds damage in Tokyo. The 1940 census estimated Nagoya's population over 1.4 million.
