In this World War II poster, Uncle Sam warns the public not to discuss troop movements, ship sailings, and war equipment. In many wartime posters, the Government cautioned citizens not to talk about their work or news they had heard from relatives on the fighting fronts for fear that enemy sympathizers or spies would relay information to the enemy.
