Military Genius and the Weakness of Attack at Strong Points
Secretary of War Baker’s strategy view is challenged by historical examples. Napoleon, Wellington, Hannibal, and Foch exploited weaknesses in centers to win decisive battles, while resisting the urge to wait for their enemy’s strongest point. The Marne illustrates victory born from attacking where the German center faltered, not where it was strongest.

Japanese Barons Push for Embargo Change to Aid Shipbuilders
Baron Shibusawa, a leading Japanese financier, cabled Elbert H. Gary urging consideration of licenses for steel materials already contracted for, arguing Japanese shipbuilders face a critical shortage under the embargo. He notes 400,000 tons are under contract, to be shipped over 18 months, risking unfulfillable orders unless materials are released. The request clashes with the US war needs, and the baron does not press for broad embargo repeal. The piece questions Japan's wartime role and whether aiding Japanese ships serves broader Allied interests.
