Navy League libel suit threat and prepared ness critique in South Dakota
The piece argues a $100000 libel suit by the Navy League against Henry Ford over collusion charges with munitions interests. It criticizes how propaganda shapes public opinion, cites the Minneapolis Journal and Hills interests, and discusses South Dakota’s view on preparedness and elections. It notes Norbeck and Parmley in races and questions Roosevelt era militarism. It ends with humor about dandelions and a dyestuff shortage.
