Congress Delays Food Bill Amid War Strain
A editorial condemns the Senate for inaction on the food control bill. It argues Congress relies on the president, harms wartime efficiency, endangers Hoover’s food program, and assists the Germans by stalling legislation.
German political outlook tied to military defeat and Allied victory
The piece argues that von Bethmann Hollweg’s resignation will not alter Germany’s course and that only a major military or naval defeat, especially a German defeat in northern France, could shift the political landscape. It discusses Germany’s censorship, the Kreuz Zeitung’s predictions, and the hope that Allied victory would end militarism and restore peaceful civilization.
Two Sides in World War I Victory Debate
An opinion piece warns that Allied victory secures world safety but a German victory would mean imperial domination, indemnities, and loss of American freedoms. A satirical poem in New Canaan mocks a poster accusing a local figure of fault, suggesting Uncle Sam will act quickly.
