The piece argues the Morgenthau lease-lend bill is inconsistent with democratic principles and constitutional processes. It criticizes Secretary Morgenthau and Secretary Stimson for pushing aid to Britain without proper congressional control, warning that reliance on executive power risks abdication of American defense and democratic safeguards. The article contends that money and credit remain the better, flexible means of aiding allies over unbounded wartime procurement.

It argues that a three-day German supply gap is the worst risk to Britain, while famine threatens 37 million Europeans.
