The Philadelphia Record editorial lauds a pacifist and isolationist stance, urging the U S to disengage from Europe and Asia. It calls for scrapping entangling alliances, subsidizing South America, and building up military power at home while expanding naval bases in the Americas, echoing Theodore Roosevelt's warning to “Fear God and take our own part.”

HOLC balances six years of work and losses
The Home Owners' Loan Corp balances its books after six years of operation. From 1933 to 1943 it issued loans on about 1,010,000 homes, foreclosures averaged one in seven, with government losses around 56 million to date and a total expected near 100 million. A reserve of 8 million offsets the shortfall, with future earnings from interest and bonds. The aim remains aiding 800,000 families to own homes, a moral payoff beyond balance sheets. The piece notes a final liquidation path remains uncertain.
