An analysis of the clash within the War Production Board during World War II focusing on William S. Knudsen Donald M. Nelson and C. E. Wilson. The piece credits their wartime achievements while criticizing delegated authority and Roosevelt's leadership. It notes Byrnes and Perkins amid organizational chaos and praises the engineers of production despite bitter rivalries.
The article voices General De Gaulle’s claim that France is not dead and has reborn through aid from other nations. It notes Paris as a symbol of national gaiety and intellect and argues France must maintain grandeur beyond liberation by Americans, British, and Canadians.

A European front assessment describes German forces collapsing after the Normandy landings. Allied advances push through on multiple fronts with massive German casualties and captures. The piece foresees dissolution and disarmament of Germany, international oversight, and a lengthy postwar cleanup as the war ends in Europe.
The piece traces taxation from ancient Egypt to Scriptural times and through the Middle Ages to modern U S life. It argues taxes exist to fund government and that Roosevelt era policy increased overall tax share, with rising local and national levies beyond six percent.
A historical critique argues that prior to and during the war the federal government raised taxes and borrowing, while states kept tight budgets. It laments wasteful federal spending, calls for a businesslike national administration, and suggests moving Albany’s prudent management to Washington for future budgets.
The piece notes ongoing Allied actions in Europe and the Pacific with emphasis on Halmahera as a stepping stone to Mindanao, detailing Army and Marine unit assignments from Saipan to Guam and Guadalcanal. It highlights the imminent return to the Philippines and the broader push toward victory in 1944-45.
Explanations about publishing a false Paris liberation report are demanded as readers doubt newspapers and the President. The piece notes misinformed statements by Lieutenant General Koenig and an unvetted dispatch by Charles Collingwood that bypassed field censorship and EHQ review.

The piece argues the postwar period needs peace and criticizes the Roosevelt administration for waging an anti trust campaign against major railroads and other industries. It questions whether liberal Congress members, including Senator Wheeler, have ignored this issue and warns that ongoing antitrust and restraint of trade suits could disrupt postwar reconstruction and job recovery for 16 million demobilized soldiers. It suggests government ownership or tighter control as a possible alternative amid growing suspicions of the New Deal’s weakness.
War report outlines two Allied forces in central and southern France racing toward a junction to trap German troops north of Montélimar and near Paris. It notes gaps between Seine and Loire fronts, reports limited information on troop movements, and hints at a single combined command once connected.
