A World War II era analysis argues that Germany’s military culture must be dismantled entirely after the war. It urges disbanding the German army, removing war industries, and purging military supporters and Nazi collaborators to prevent a repeat of past aggression.
A war time Food Administration note says about 8,000,000 tons of surplus food available for release after V Day could cover European needs for the first half of 1945. It acknowledges pockets of hunger but argues Europe is not as food short as feared and Western Europe has shifted from chronic deficit to self sufficiency trends. Former Governor H. H. Lehman mentioned.
The article recalls General Almoner of Europe and UNRBA leadership, noting cuts to relief responsibilities and questioning the fate of starving children once Hoover sought to feed under Nazi control. It cites Belgian famine under prior regimes and British reactions to relief plans, linking Hoover, naval blockades, and postwar relief policy in unsettled terms.
The United States recognizes Syria and Lebanon as independent republics with George Wadsworth appointed minister to both. The move ends French wartime control and echoes earlier British and Russian recognition, as Syria and Lebanon gain full sovereignty after decades of mandate and conflict.
The article compares prisoner handling in the Pacific and Europe. It notes many Japanese soldiers commit suicide rather than be captured, while Europe sees vast captive numbers under German, British, American, and Russian control. It explains manpower strains from losses and the need to mobilize workers for munitions and food.
A wartime analysis notes Germany cannot grow crops or recruit enough young men. It cites 1,200,000 potential male recruits in two years and estimates 450,000 lost in three months, arguing manpower loss, not battlefield gains, will decide the outcome as fronts shorten yet doom looms.

Judson argues against New Deal programs, praising Hoover-era restraint, while L. B. of Cohoes and Elsi Blackly of Mechanicville express support for Dewey and critique Roosevelt and Hillman, highlighting working-class impact and political loyalties.
The piece asserts censorship shielded Americans from China’s weakened Chung king government. It notes the US Air Force destroyed and abandoned air bases near Kunming due to Japanese advances, highlighting China’s internal strife, delayed Allied aid, and the strategic challenge of supplying China via the Burma Road and Himalaya air routes. It concludes with doubt over final victory in the Far East and hints at continued censorship.

President Roosevelt scorched the joint German civil administration handbook amid British and American draft delays.
