As the editor-in-chief, a suit was brought against Vougt for libeling Benito Mussolini, who had been described by Arbetet as a madman. The Swedish press initially believed the suit had been brought by the Italian government as a demand for redress; it was later revealed that the proceedings commenced entirely at the initiative of the Swedish government.[7] An anthology of Vougt's wartime articles was published by Arbetet under the title The Swedish Perspective.
Vougt was interviewed by journalist C. L. Sulzberger as defense minister and was described as "a man with a reputation for sticking his neck out.". Sulzberger noted that Vougt was unpopular with his American counterparts who believed he gave permission to Germany to send troops across Sweden during the war.[8]
