MCU FDR in graduation robe at lectern speaking to microphones SOF: “The government of Italy has now chosen to preserve what it terms its Freedom of Action; & to fulfill what it states are its promises to Germany. In so doing it has manifested disregard for rights of security of other nations; disregard for the lives of the peoples of those nations which are directly threatened by the spread of this war. And has evidenced its unwillingness to find the means thru pacific negotiations for the satisfaction of what it believes are its legitimate aspirations. On this tenth day of June, 1940 the hand that held the dagger has struck it into the back of its neighbor. Let us not hesitate, all of us, to claim certain truths overwhelmingly, we as a nation - and this applies to all the other American nations: we are convinced that military & naval victory for the goods of force & hate would endanger the institutions of Democracy in the Western World, & that equally therefore the whole of our sympathies lie w/ those nations that are giving their life-blood in combat against those forces.” Applause. 06:06:43 Sd effects & music.
