'''''Scribner's Commentator''''' self-described as '''''The National Magazine for an Independent American Destiny''''' was a leading [[isolationist]] publication and the unofficial voice of the [[America First Committee]]. It appeared from November 1939 to January 1942. The journal was the result of the 1939 merger of ''[[Scribner's]]'' owned by the publisher [[Charles Scribner’s Sons]] and ''[[Commentator]]'' owned by [[Charles S.

[[Douglas M. Stewart]] was the day-to-day publisher although his cousin banker [[Jeremiah Milbank]] who helped to finance the operation was considered the co-publisher. [[Francis Rufus Bellamy]] was the first editor with [[Lowell Thomas]] as assistant editor. By the middle of 1940 both Bellamy and Thomas were replaced by [[George Eggleston]].

==Move to Lake Geneva==
In July 1941 the offices and staff of ten moved the publication from New York to [[Lake Geneva, Wisconsin]], a popular retreat for wealthy [[Gentiles]]. The building that held the new offices was a remolded blacksmith’s shop. The move was necessary since while in New York, the publication had received considerable harassment from the communist-leaning paper ''[[PM (newspaper)|PM]]'' in addition to stolen correspondence from the US mail.<ref>''Roosevelt, Churchill, and the World War II Opposition'', by George T. Eggleston, page 101</ref>

After the [[attack on Pearl Harbor]] Scribner's Commentator cease publication. There is speculation the issue prepared before [[December 7]] was never mailed and a final "Win the War" January 1942 issue was quickly put together and sent to subscribers.<ref>[http://www.ecphorizer.com/EPS/site_page.php?page=585&issue=38] Notes of a Magaziner X by
Paul W. Healy</ref> Subscribers were offered a refund on their remaining subscription or the option of receiving [[DeWitt Wallace]]’s ''[[Reader's Digest]]''.<ref>''Roosevelt, Churchill, and the World War II Opposition'', by George T. Eggleston, page 156</ref> In the past ''Reader's Digest'' reprinted several articles from ''Scribner's Commentator''.

''Scribner's Commentator'' had a circulation of 30,000.<ref>''The Conservative Press in Twentieth-Century America'', by Ronald Lora, William Henry Longton, page 398</ref> Its sister publication was the weekly newspaper, ''[[The Herald]]''.
