This pamphlet was produced to support communism in America, and urge youth to promote not entering World War II. It argues that, "We support no dreams of war abroad. We go to the wars at home. For jobs and civil liberties. For democracy and freedom!" It also argues that the way to make the world safe for democracy is not a war, but to fight for jobs, for relief, better housing and better health conditions in America.
