Wilson warned before the American Institute of Chemical Engineers that Axia oil supplies are so depleted the United States and Britain could win the war without invading Europe by bombing Germany's synthetic plants and transportation lines. He stated Nazi energy was only five percent of U.S. crude output when including imports and synthesis, and that Mediterranean control would not sufficiently block oil if England gains air superiority for long range strikes.

Ship Captain Duty Realigns With Duty Not Tradition
The Times argues there is no seafaring tradition that a captain must die with his ship. The captain’s primary duty is to safeguard the vessel and crew, directing rescue efforts when possible and ordering abandonment to protect all aboard. A captain may die if circumstances demand, but such death is a heroic act of duty, not a theatrical tradition.
