The essay urges women to speak up against war and influence policy, arguing mothers and grandmothers must shape decisions since war harms families. It notes the need to organize, while praising Boys State plans for 1946 and criticizing delays.

A Grange resolution favors international cooperation, no universal conscription, and a greater emphasis on fitness and scientific study in schools to train for peace as well as war.
