The poster's central claim is that the sea lanes stayed open, meaning the Atlantic routes that carried troops, munitions and food to Europe while German submarines tried to cut them. The Victory Liberty Loan was one of the federal government's wartime bond drives, and the poster links buying bonds to keeping that shipping safe. The United States Food Administration, the wartime agency led by Herbert Hoover, is named as sponsor, which reflects how directly food supplies depended on safe passage across the ocean.
