Among the slogans which Professor Wilson questioned in particular were: "In time of peace prepare for war," "war is inevitable," "a war to end war," and "my country right or wrong."

Prof. Wilson discussed the tendency of American citizens to employ meaningless slogans blindly in the place of thought, citing especially this failing in relation to militarism, education, and free speech.
