The piece condemns U S relief aid to Finns while selling gasoline to Russia and critiques recruitment drives. It argues against labeling young men as unpatriotic for not enlisting, questions civilian leaders' role, cites defense spending near 2 5 billion, recalls Roosevelt's 1932 platform, and references British propaganda experts. It warns of possible U S entanglement in war and links policy to propaganda.
