Roosevelt on religious freedom in Soviet Russia debated
The piece argues Roosevelt’s claim of religious freedom in Soviet Russia is misleading and contrasts the Russian constitution with its practical oppression. It cites Georgetown’s Edmund Walsh and warns that Stalin’s regime suppresses religion, free speech, and press while promoting anti religious propaganda. The editorial favors aiding Russia but condemns both Nazi Germany and Communist oppression, hoping to weaken both regimes.

National Debt England's and Ours
British economists praise wartime finance and find their country’s debt management sound. They compare England’s approach with domestic practices and emphasize fiscal prudence amid ongoing conflict. Public finance discussions consider implications for postwar policy and national stability.
Wartime Debt Comparisons Spotlight Tax Recovery Paths
The article contrasts Britain's postwar debt trajectory with the United States. Britain aims to return to prewar tax levels after the conflict, with debt up 60 percent by March 1942 and a probable 30 percent debt burden in real terms due to lower interest rates. The US faces steeper costs, with current defense outlays surpassing World War I totals and debt projections reaching around 100 billion dollars, making a quick prewar taxation return unlikely.
