Notice that the pamphleteer didn't mention Communists.
The Truman Doctrine was March 12, 1947, and that's when containment was announced, signaling the beginning of the Cold War. This film is from 1947.
The War Department wanted unity against Communists, and made this video to try and get people off of other divides. You could be right, could be more high-minded; but I'm guessing this is a "anyone but commies or nazis" sort of ideal.
