In her address, Mrs. Helen Gahagan Douglas expresses her desire for the war to be won and for a world organization to prevent future wars. She emphasizes the importance of a certain point of view that recognizes the interconnectedness of nations and opposes isolationism. She praises President Franklin Roosevelt for his understanding of this philosophy and his actions to support it, such as the Good Neighbor Policy and providing aid to allies. She also criticizes the Republican party for their lack of vision and opposition to measures of preparedness, such as the repeal of the Arms Embargo and Selective Service. She concludes by warning about the consequences if the Republican leaders had been in charge.
