The cover illustration is of Franklin Delano Roosevelt at his desk surrounded by scribes writing "F.D.R. will not run," "Roosevelt will not run," "Mr. President will not run" with text commentary "Even if Roosevelt does not run for a 3rd Term (a contingency which few in Washington will now admit) Conservative Democrats look to the future with little sanguinity...." Articles include a two page article by Jan Valtin "Hitler's slaughterhouse: the living hell of Plotzensee." Publication of the magazine lasted for just over two years (ceasing in 1939); it was described by the editor, Arnold Gingrich, as "A magazine of unfamiliar fact and informed opinion, filling in the shadows cast by coming events all over the world; equally opposed to the development of dictatorship from either Left or Right, whose one fixed editioral aim is to give unhampered and unbiased demonstration of whatever dangers threaten this our democracy from without and within, in accord with the Lincolnian dictum of 'Let the people know the truth and this country is safe.'" .
