...implications of this speech have been soft-pedalled because of Wallace's acceptance of "Russia" and tabooed "Communism" as factors which are inextricably bound up with the future of democracy. Granted that Wallace was speaking before the Congress of American-Soviet Friendship, the speech was more than a pat on the back for out new ally.

There were nine...

After last year's Louisiana maneuvers he criticized leadership and discipline (TIME, Sept. 29, 1941). This year he gave a pat on the back. Lear's forces have lost many officers to new units in formation (U.S. division increase in one year: 27 to 72). But leadership, said McNair, is excellent among the higher officers. As for discipline: "Last year, the maneuvers stopped when men gathered around a pop vendor. They filled themselves full of pop, then they couldn't march or fight.
