If I remember correctly, in WWII a Republican newspaper in Chicago, was the most vocal critic of US Policy in WWII. After Midway, they even published that we had broken the Japanese codes. The President wanted them to be arrested for treason but Marshall talked him out of it.

If that's true, during WII that 'Republican newspaper' was likely the Chicago Tribune.
Col. Robert R. McCormick (of the WWI battle of Cantigny 'fame') owned/ran it back then.

However, for a couple reasons I doubt the "The Colonel" would allow that to happen at "his" Tribune. One being is that he loved the military and the USA.

I'd more likely suspect a couple of the yellow sheet rags which existed then in Chicago as the culprits. But if you could provide a link to confirm your statement, I'd sure love to read it.

Yeah and that paper now owns the Cubs, guess that was FDR's revenge.

That's ok. I got the answer, its true.
