Twenty years after Woodrow Wilson dies a defeated realist

The Detroit Free Press recalls Woodrow Wilson on the twentieth anniversary of his death. He is described as a great war president whose aims failed under domestic opposition, and the piece warns that without concerted world peace efforts another war would come at American cost. It notes Napoleon's engineers first using tin to preserve food ahead of the Russian invasion.

Renegade idea behind war contract renegotiation

Marine veteran Francis Case helped spark renegotiation of war contracts in 1942. His House amendment aimed to curb profiteering by delaying final payments until costs were verified, tying into later statutes. He argued a contract affecting property could be modified, not just military service. The story links his WWI concern to WWII policy and notes the measure’s passage despite earlier resistance.
