Barbara, 20; Mrs. Mar CT. Tomorrow will be later than today.
 Certain facts are self-evident.
 In 8 military sense Grat Brit ain and the British empire are today the spearhead of resistance of world conquest. They are putt ing up a fight which will live forever in the story of human gallantry.
 There is no demand for sending an American expeditionary force outside our own borders. There is no intention by any member of your government to send such 8 force. You can, therefore, nail any talk about sending armies to Europe as delibera:e untruth.
 Our National Policy Our national policy is not di- rected toward war. Its sole pur- pose is to keep war away from our country and our people.
 Democracy's fight against world conquest is being greatly aided, and must be more greatly aided. by the rearmament of the United States and by sending every ounce and every one of munitions and supplies that we can possibly spare to help the defenders who are in the front lines. It is no more unneutral for us to do that than it is for Sweden, Russia and other nations near Germany to send steel and ore and oil and other war materials into Ger many every day.
 We are planning our own de- fense with the utmost urgency, and in its vast scale we must in tegrate the war needs of Britain and the other free nations re- sisting aggression.
 This is not matter of senti- ment or of controversial personal opinion. It is matter of realistic military policy based eh the ad- vice of our military experts who are in close touch with existing warfare. These military and naval experts and the members of the Congress and the administration have single-minded purpose = the defense of the United States.
 This nation is making great effort to produce everything that is necessary in this emergency and with all possible speed. This great effort requires great sacri- flee.
 I would ask no one to defend democracy which III turn would not defend everyone in the nation against want and privation. The strength of this nation shall not be diluted by the failure of the government to protect the eco homie well-being of all citizens.
 Production Capacity
 If our capacity to produce is limited by machines, it must ever be remembered that these ma- chimes are operated by the skill and the stamina of the workers. As the government is determined to protect the rights of workers, so the nation has right to expect that the men who man the ma chimes will discharge their full re- responsibilities to the urgent needs of defense.
 The workers possess the same human dignity and is entitled to the same security of position as the engineer or manager or owner. For the workers provide the hu- man power that turns out the de- stroyers, the airplanes and the tanks.
 The nation expects our de- fense industries to continue oper- ation without interruption by strikes or lock-outs. It expects and insists that management and workers will reconcile their diff ferences by voluntary or legal means, to continue to produce the supplies that are so sorely needed.
 And on the economic side of our great defense program, we are, as you know, bending every effort to maintain stability of prices and with that the stability of the cost of living.
 Nine days ago I announced the setting up of a more effective or ganization to direct our gigantic efforts to increase the production of munitions. The appropriation of vast sums of money and a well coordinated executive direction of our defense efforts are not in themselves enough. Guns. planes and ships have to be built in the factories and arsenals of Amer lea. They have to be produced by workers and managers and engt- neers with the aid of machines which in turn have to be built by hundreds of thousands of work CTS throughout the land.
 In this great work there has been splendid cooperation between the government and industry and labor.
