The article presents information related to world politics. It states that U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt must now decide whether Negro firemen shall function in the locomotive cabs of in Southern railways. Evidence taken by the Fair Employment Practices Committee shows that roads of the country need 850 more firemen and that many now employed are dangerously green. The Italian Committee of National Liberation condemned the Italian King as "one of the gravest obstacles to the rebirth of the nation." Fascist-appointed officials broke up anti-royalist meetings in the University of Naples.
