Weekly analysis by Edward C Wayne discusses Soviet strategy to slow a blitz, notes Churchill praising the Soviet as a real ally, and notes a proposed extension of draftee service with editor’s note and WNU release.
The article surveys Russo German fighting with German claims of progress and Russian resilience, noting Churchill’s acknowledgment of Russia as Britain’s ally. It cites Soviet resistance, uncertain casualty figures, and Hopkins’ planned London trip, then shifts to Japan’s cabinet resignation and possible shifts in foreign policy toward Indo China and Siberia while Nazis influence Tokyo’s faction.
General George C. Marshall urged two changes to the selective service law before the Senate Military Affairs Committee. He sought longer uniform service beyond one year and an end to the restriction allowing selectees to serve only in the Western hemisphere. The White House pressed on the second point, but early senatorial views were unfavourable or undecided, the dispute centering on army size and training timelines.
German newspapers intensify anti Roosevelt rhetoric calling him a vulture over the Azores and Cape Verde islands. One paper claims Roosevelt has raised gangsterism to a symbol in politics.
The Syrian armistice terms lift a burden from the British by allowing transfer of arms and ships to British control while offering French residents a choice to join Free French forces or be deported. Churchill marked the move as reducing the Suez threat and aiding Cyprus defense as Crete’s losses are offset.
An analysis notes President Roosevelt in wartime Europe facing calmer, more circumscribed days in Washington. He sees fewer people, travels less, and to avoid entangling delays concentrates on national defense, foreign affairs, and Army Navy questions. He remains witty but lacks former enthusiasm for war, fearing outcomes for his legacy as a war president. Ben Welles and Nelson Rockefeller are cited in quick items, along with a book endorsement by major groups.
Wright A Patterson argues Americans overemphasize local politics while neglecting national governance. He warns Washington’s reach can override local rights and resources as parties favor subnational power. He lauds newspapers as vital community institutions and questions parity price calculations for farmers in 1941.
