This week TIME introduces a new regular section, WORLD WAR (begins p. 20). Better to organize news of the conflict, WORLD WAR will report in words, pictures, charts, maps the war's strictly military aspect. In addition, TIME'S war reporting will include occasional special documentary features, like this week's preview of White Papers (see p. 38) and list of Europe's Leaders (see p. 24). Political, social, ethical and other nonmilitary aspects of national life in Europe and elsewhere overseas will continue to be covered in Foreign News...

...extent envisioned in President Roosevelt's original proposal for neutrality legislation." The New York Herald Tribune practically lined up with the British and French, and the Times went the whole way: "At last there is a democratic front. . . . Inevitably we are more deeply engaged in the conflict." The columnists reverted to type. Dorothy Thompson saw the world revolution coming nearer, Westbrook Pegler went yah! at the Communists, General Johnson was for letting Europe blow itself up, and Heywood Broun, hitherto a believer in the democratic front, began preaching pure pacifism. Said Eleanor Roosevelt: "Peace may be bought today...
