He envisions a UN role as peace broker and international police, stresses equitable recovery and cautions against renewed imperialism and unrealistic restoration in Europe.
Robert Quillen reflects on poverty and wealth shaping a boy into a successful adult who values decency over greed. He argues money is not the true measure of worth and notes shifting attitudes among America’s rich and famous amid wartime pressures and inflation worries.
Dr. Joseph Fort Newton argues for using immigrant communities as a bridge to a free Europe.

A compilation of remarks from Selborne, Kwonglee Kwong, Byrnes, and Mountbatten reflecting on punishment versus revenge, ruthless wartime stance, equal justice, and the drive to confront enemy forces. The texts advocate firm action and firm justice amid global conflict.
Col Frederick Palmer weighs whether Hitler can mobilize Luftwaffe for a major 1942 offensive. He notes Axis production, prior air superiority in 1941, and new RAF mastery, with Rommel’s campaign and Russian front pressures shaping how many planes remain for a decisive push.
The piece analyzes Hitler’s potential concentrate drive in the Caucasus for oil and questions whether Britain and the Allies will strike Rhineland cities and German aircraft plants with coordinated bombers. It notes possible effects on production and the morale of German workers, and mentions reprisals against Reinhard Heydrich as context amid sabotage concerns in occupied plants.
The article notes Russia pressuring for a postwar understanding on acquirement of moderate territory for defense. It warns against secret promises and treaties, arguing that the US and Britain cannot concede such grounds without undermining their governments and war effort. It also remarks poison gas use unlikely except in limited cases.
Paul Mallon argues gas is an ineffective weapon for modern warfare as civilians suffer and air power and artillery offer better damage. He notes Japanese gas use in China at Ichang and Kinhwa, contending gains in gas tech stalled since WWI while production remains easy and threatening rhetoric from Roosevelt would deter foes.
A physician argues against claims that high vitamin A or D intake harms health, citing extensive literature with no authenticated harm reports.

It cites Dr. William Fielding Ogburn noting power concentrates due to crisis rather than a single leader.
