A collection of remarks by Secretary Henry L. Stimson General Henry H Arnold Senator Allen Ellender Eric A. Johnston and Henry J. Kaiser on costs of war in Tunisia labor incentives and postwar economic outlook.

It notes a 63 billion dollar national debt at the war start.
Governor Hickenlooper demobilized the Iowa State Guard’s first MP battalion after a year on active duty at Camp Dodge.
