Russ Break With Japs Changes Pacific War Picture
A Western Newspaper Union summary predicts a shifted Pacific war once Russia denounces the neutrality pact with Japan. It notes Stalin’s stance, Japan’s alliances with Germany, and signs of closer Moscow–Tokyo cooperation. Meanwhile MacArthur Nimitz and Arnold assume high command for a direct Pacific assault, signaling an end to island hopping and a push toward the Japanese homeland. Japanese cabinet stability under Suzuki is forecast to falter as Okinawa action intensifies and Soviet moves deepen the crisis.

U.S. Debt Limit Raised Ahead of Seventh War Loan Drive
President Roosevelt approved legislation lifting the public debt limit from 3280,000,000,000 to 400,000,000,000 with experts predicting the new ceiling could be reached by late June 1946. The current maturity-value debt stands around 243,000,000,000, signaling strain similar to past war financing. Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King urged holding Pacific bases "paid for with American blood" to avoid renewed conflicts and preserve a postwar navy. He warned the nation cannot sustain a cycle of fighting, building, winning, and giving away.
