Fearful Labor Strikes Rattle Nation Amid War Defense
The piece notes a surge in labor strikes over two months, eclipsing post Detroit sit downs, with criticism aimed at the National Administration for denting labor gains.

Neutrality repeal teased by cabinet talk in Washington
Washington columnist Peter Edson notes a Washington gag about cabinet members using limbs to exit walls, mocking Secretaries Stimson and Knox for pushing repeal of the neutrality act. He traces the act’s origins with Hull and the Nye committee, arguing repeal could edge the U.S. toward war, and calls it a political ploy rather than broad support in Congress.
