America Awakened by Nazi Counterattack and War Spirit
An editorial argues the Pearl Harbor strike forced U S entry, credits Nazi counterattack with awakening unity, criticizes premature Allied complacency, and urges unwavering homefront effort. It lauds patriotism, criticizes leaders, and condemns any optimism that delays victory.
Realism Frederick Crawford urges supplies for war effort
Frederick C. Crawford of Ohio relates a six-member industrialist survey team’s European visit. He urges Americans to stop questioning military needs, push unreserved support for weapons, personnel, nurses, and plasma, and trust the professional army to specify requirements without delay. The appeal follows a German breakthrough and condemns home front improvisation.

War lessons on Belgium front and future offensives
The author argues the war effort cannot be measured by territorial gains in Belgium or western Europe. The aim is destroying German armies, not reclaiming every city, and the recent German breakthrough shows the need for broader offensives and strategic counters across fronts. It stresses not misreading setbacks as final defeat and calls for decisive action beyond holding ground.
