The piece notes how readers grow used to huge dollar scales and questions the quote fusing democracy ideals with a wartime reality. It remarks that the saying of government by and for the people is taking hold even among a few alien enemies detained in camps.
Scarcity of Labor II Hits Farmers Hard in War Era
The article argues farmers face tougher adaptation to labor shortages than other groups as drafts and war industries pull workers away. It urges use of machinery, cooperative farming and shared costs, noting business houses adjust by hiring older workers or training women. Cooperation across sectors is framed as a wartime duty.
Rally to spend and aid the war effort now
Aimed at general readers, the piece urges ditching hoarding and increasing production and spending to support the nation during wartime. It mocks fear of high material costs and warns that saving money in this era harms the country, comparing such restraint to aiding Germany.
Loyalty and ability as tests for leaders
The Saturday Evening Post urges voters to demand loyalty and ability in leaders, arguing against placing any suspect figure in office. It asserts America cannot risk shadowy loyalty and should secure proven, capable leaders for the nation’s future.
