American economists see a potential for billions of gold from the U.S. treasury, contingent on victory and terms.
A quoted sequence of 1930s and 1940s company reports argues that Roosevelt era policies push large firms toward higher profits and dividends. It cites Westinghouse, Union Carbide, American Telephone, Monsanto, Chrysler, Anaconda, General Motors and others showing net incomes and earnings per share rising across 1938–1940 while noting a few losses. The piece frames these figures as proof of decay in business ethics under policy.

A Readers' Forum letter discusses shifting public opinion on entering the war in Europe, noting many opponents advocate fighting abroad only if others bear the draft.

The article surveys long term rural to urban migration, noting a back-to-the-land trend after economic downturns, its impact on democracy and society, and the role of birthrates and migration in rural growth.

Washington report notes optimism among allies that France and Britain cannot lose, but observers warn of a German victory risk.

Raymond Clapper notes how Latin American newspapers rely on German sources as concerns grow over German Italian influence and a potential Communist upheaval in Mexico amid a July 7 election.

The Brighter Side reviews a benefit advance for Eddie Cantor's camp for underprivileged city children tied to a Louisiana Purchase fundraiser.

The piece argues Ickes favored the Common breed of Trojan horse during a National Lawyers Guild appearance.

Ferdinand Pecora condemns what he calls Communist steerage within the guild and similar trends in the American Newspaper Guild.
