Please, I beg you give according to your means to your nearest Red Cross chapter, give as generously as you can."
 "It Is said that we are defense less. .. do not share those fears"
 "In the past two or three weeks all kinds of stories have been handed out to the American pulp lie about our lack of preparedness. It has even been charged that the money we have spent has gone down rathole {. This money has been used to make our Army Navy today the largest, the best squipped and the best-trained peacetime military establishment in the history of this country"
