If we put aside the complexity of WWII, I think it's almost certain a fact that many readers died during the war. Of course pacifism or isolationism didn't work because the Axis powers attacked the US etc etc. But if your focus is soley on preserving readership, keeping them home and out of harms way is one way to accomplish it. At least for a bit.

Helping out the UK was quite unpopular in the US and Churchill got quite frustrated with Roosevelt about the latter's hesitancy to provide assistance as a result. That the editor of a popular magazine might honestly share that take is unsurprising. And, yes, hesitancy to get involved could shade into Germany's not that bad fairly easily by way of justification.
