A collage of wartime notes and gossip mentions leaders and public opinion in Britain and the United States. It cites housing and labor efforts, a Dogs for Defence appeal, Gandhi, India’s home rule, and a rumor control plea. It ends with a Boston Post note and a U boat weather report from Germany.

Deep sea catch totals also show a decline from last year.
