Invasion War Materials Push Seen for 1944
Charles E. Wilson of the War Production Board warns executives that 1944 will demand far greater munitions output than 1943. He says civilian goods must rise but pale beside the need to equip Allied forces, noting 61 billion dollars of 1943 munitions and vast shipments to Africa and Italy are insignificant for the next phase. He foresees the year as the toughest yet for WPB and the military effort.

De Baer outlines postwar world court and UN role
De Baer argues for a peace framework after Germany’s surrender with an international court of 35 judges and a UN prosecution. He envisions Allied settlements as needed, an international constabulary, public hearings, and a common fund to finance the court, with ratification by signatories and rapid effect after seven nations sign. The proposal seeks to maintain peace under Moscow declarations and ensure criminals are pursued globally.
