It notes that while strikes are possible, lines of authority and government mediation have kept major rail strikes rare, preserving workers' right to quit while limiting unions to order strikes.
Robert Quillen notes the limits of charity toward the sick and disfigured, citing a Rockefeller funded doctor who cared for lepers in the Philippines with a tender act. He contrasts harsh judgments of the needy with gospel examples of compassion, then riffs on social quirks, manners, and the cadence of public life.
George Matthew Adams extols nature as a divine force and endless teacher. He praises Fabre's insect books and notes birds and animals reveal courage and human traits while seasons offer renewed life lessons from spring to winter.

By Arthur Bugs Baer, the downtown columnist notes that cafe society keeps high spirits despite a curfew. Bartenders mix drinks stronger, patrons drink faster, and a late-night gathering collapses as the curfew hits at midnight. New Yorkers adapt to restrictions, and the author jokes about being law abiding only when caught.
At Yalta Stalin opposed inviting De Gaulle to the Big Three, arguing France had a minor wartime role and that military talks dominated the conference. He recalled France’s early surrender and failure to turn over the fleet, and noted French forces fired on Allied landings in North Africa. Roosevelt and Churchill remained neutral.

Merryle S. Rukeyser argues that wartime policies reshape civilian sacrifice unevenly. The text notes advantages for regular store customers, home owners, self-employed, and investors, while renters, wage earners, and fixed-income bondholders face disadvantages amid inflation and war restrictions. It also highlights travel limits, scarce durable goods, and declining civilian services as expected costs of total war.
Marquis W. Childs argues the Mediterranean air command under Lt. Gen. Ira C. Baker could become a blueprint for postwar international aviation. He notes pilots from nine nations, praises Baker’s leadership and Tito ties, and suggests an international air force as a path to peace if wisely used.
