Our national policy today, therefore, is this: First, we shall actively resist wherever necessary, & with all our resources, every attempt by Hitler to extend his Nazi domination to the Western Hemisphere, or to threaten it. We shall actively resist his every attempt to gain control of the seas. We insist upon the vital importance of keeping Hitlerism away from any point in the world which could be used or would be used as a base of attack against the Americas. Secondly, from the point of view of strict naval & military necessity, we shall give every possible assistance to Britain, and to all who w/ Britain are resisting Hitlerism...

(edit) 18:51:53 “by advance guard of physical attack. Your Government has the right to expect of all citizens that they take part in the common work of our common defense, take loyal part from this moment forward. (edit) 18:52:13 “the incendiary bombs in this country at the moment. All of us know that we have made very great social progress in recent years. We propose to maintain that progress & strengthen it. When the Nation is threatened from without however, as it is today, the actual production & transportation of the machinery of defense must not be interrupted by disputes between capital & capital, labor & labor, or capital & labor. The future of all free enterprise, of capital & labor alike, is at stake. This is no time for capital to make, or be allowed to retain, excess profits. Articles of defense must have undisputed right of way in every industrial plant in the country. A nation-wide machinery for conciliation & mediation of industrial disputes has been set up. That machinery must be used promptly & without stoppage of work. Collective bargaining will be retained, but the American people expect that impartial recommendations of our Government conciliation & mediation services will be followed both by capital & by labor. (edit) 18:53:56 “human slavery & human freedom—between pagan brutality & the Christian ideal. We choose human freedom, which is the Christian ideal. No one of us can waver for a moment in his courage or his faith. We will not accept a Hitler-dominated world. And we will not accept a world, like the postwar world of the 1920s, in which the seeds of Hitlerism can again be planted & allowed to grow. We will accept only a world consecrated to freedom of speech & expression, freedom of every person to worship God in his own way, freedom from want & freedom from terror. (edit) Continued...
