It notes Turkish influence, the Dardanelles issue, and strategic aims in the Mediterranean and Far East as the war to end and new power balances unfold.
A wartime radio-style reflection notes Berchtesgaden as a lavish but politically risky refuge for Hitler. The author doubts strategic value of bombing the site, argues Hitler’s fate may not hinge on this objective, and weighs morale and leadership factors in Germany.
The text surmises a fugitive may commit death by own action or attempt escape, with a higher likelihood of choosing an unadvertised location for a final confrontation and little chance of Berebtesgaden being the scene.
A circular letter from the League of Women Voters presidents warns that Americans fear not winning peace unless they commit to world organization. It argues isolationists remain and urges progress toward collective security, noting broad support for action despite imperfect terms.
Rum, bankers, and business leaders argue postwar full employment offers little method to achieve it. They contend only customers create productive jobs and that debt and taxes hinder trade. The discussion urges incentive taxation and debt reform to reward production, while criticizing phrasemongers and politicians.
Readers urge signed letters to The Record to preserve good faith while protecting anonymity. unsigned ones may be rejected. The page includes tips on walking, safety and attire for commuters, with emphasis on relieving bus overload and the value of walking as transport.

He cites Roosevelt’s Cairo meeting in 1943 and Churchill’s London vicinity incidents, argues for stricter U S secrecy, and notes foreign press laxity in publishing preconference movements.
The Washington Merry-Go-Round reviews how Stalin challenged Roosevelt and Churchill over Poland at Yalta. He asserts the Curzon Line, Poland’s borders, and questions Western promises, while defending a strong Polish state to shield the USSR from Germany. The piece notes tensions during Polish discussions and references historical moves around Vilno and Riga.
A letter criticizes the Wagner Act as a permanent policy and accuses Franklin D. Roosevelt of pushing a labor program to gain votes. The author argues unions should organize independently without Labor Relations Board powers and labels the act a threat to American labor freedom. The piece also attacks Alf Landon and ties unionism to Roosevelt's political coalition.
The piece discusses the New Rochelle half dollar dated 1935 but issued 1936, noting its designer Bliss Gerstmude Lathrop of Albany and the scarce mintage after meltings. It also covers the Gettysburg half dollar issued in 1933, with obverse a Union and Confederate soldier and the reverse showing the shields, noting its 15th anniversary legends and relatively common status despite historic interest.
