Rihl resided around Mexico City. Rickenbacker reflects on the state of the country during the Christmas season. He sees Americans' hatred of Germans and Japanese, cultivated during WWII, being transferred to fellow citizens in post-war America: parties against each other, and even employees against bosses and stockholders. He sees the result as disorganization, industrial strife and poverty, and calls upon his friend to "take inventory of ourselves and our pet hates as we approach the holiday season."
