Scope and Contents
In this speech, Helen Gahagan Douglas discusses the obligation women have in the election to be thoughtful and responsible for the sake of their loved ones, as well as the future of the world. She emphasizes the importance of choosing leaders who prioritize peace and international cooperation. Douglas quotes various Republicans who support President Roosevelt and believe that he is the wiser choice for maintaining peace and security. She argues that war is a non-partisan issue and that the structure of peace must also be non-partisan. Douglas concludes by quoting several prominent Republicans who express their trust in Roosevelt's leadership and doubt in Dewey's ability to handle foreign affairs.
