Collingsworth earning a second kill and triggering a fresh fund.

La Guardia as wartime propagandist and diplomat in Italy
The article recalls Fiorello H. La Guardia’s wartime mission in Italy after Caporetto, his appeal in Genoa and Rome to win Italian support, and Ambassador Page’s confidence in his role. It notes his overcoming a wary audience, the ensuing political work, and his enduring diplomatic potential alongside his mayoral ties to Italian circles. It also shifts to U S shipbuilding achievements, praising Liberty ships, standardization, mass production, welding, and the efficiency gains in wartime maritime output.
