This is one of those patriotic shorts produced during WWII that asked patrons of the movie theater to buy U.S. Defense Bonds or Savings Bonds at the nearest Federal Reserve Bank or Post Office. Most of the full-length features made by the major studios, always included a closing credit that said something like: "Buy U.S. Defense Bonds...".
Soldier Robinson makes the pitch for his fellow countrymen to buy war bonds and a montage shows how the money is put to good use by the government on all sorts of defense projects. He's an earnest young man and makes a nice presentation, but the material is all pretty obvious and not quite as inspirational as intended.
A good example of the prevailing American sentiment at the time.
Incidentally, it was on one of the bond-selling tours that movie stars made that Carole Lombard lost her life when the plane she was in crashed into a mountainside.
