congressional discussion and debate,
newspaper and radio campaigning
these facts stand out clearly . we
need a mechanical army capable of
defending this country, we need a
two ocean navy TO protect both our
shores, we need an air corps second
to none in the world. Regardless of
what happens in Europe we still have
that need.
If Germany is victorious in its
battle against Britain we must have
an army to prevent Hitler's invasion
of this hemisphere. BY invasion we
mean something more than armed
force. We mean an economic invasion
as well. 1t is not to our interest to
have South America dominated by
totalitarian Germany as we well
know but we a do nothing about
keeping Hitler away from h e S c
shores unles we have an army to
back up what we say.
On the other hand if England is
victorious we still have need of that
army. We must realize that the U. S
today cannot depend on England as
our first line of defense any more
We must be prepared to take ARE OF
ourselves. We must take a lesson
from England's present plight and
not let the same thing happen to US
We must guard against the evils that
beset England and caused her to be
dangerously vulernable. Those evils
consist mostly of having been toe
domineering, SNUG, and self-satis
fled, of refusing to keep her eye:
open to what was going on arounC
her and becoming decandent. Eng
land let every country in Europe fee
the heel of Hitler before the war wa.
finally brought to her homeland.
We in the United States must b,
prepare dso that no war will come tt
our home land.
Hitler attacks only those who h.
thinks surely will fall beneath him
Only might makes right with Her
Hitler.
