In campaigning for the Democratic Party’s Pennsylvania presidential primary, now just a day away, trade and globalization’s impact on manufacturing America has become a central issue. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports on how Chinese competition in steel production reflects on this debate.

The Los Angeles Times reports the presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) appears to have eased back on his plans for a more muscular ”League of Democracies.” The piece says in recent comments McCain has stressed the league would be an informal grouping of democratic nations and “does not envision military action.”
