be devoted primarily-almost ex-
clusively-to meeting this foreign
peril. For all our domestic prob.
lens r now a part of the great
emergency.
Just as our national policy in in.
ternal affairs has been based upon
a decent respect for the rights and
dignity of all our fellowmen within
our gates, so our national policy in
foreign affairs has been based on
a decent respect for the rights and
dignity of all nations, rye and
small. And the justice of morality
must and will win in the end.
Our National Policy
Our national policy is this:
First, by an impressive express
sion of the public will I'D without
regard to craftsmanship, we are
committed to all-inclusive national
defense.
Second, by an impressive express
sion of the public will and without
regard to partisanship, we a r e
committed to full support OF all
those resolute peoples, everywhere,
Who are resisting aggression and
are thereby keeping war a w a y
from u hemispher. By this sup
port, we express our determin.
alton that the democratic cause
Shall prevail; and we strengthen
the defense and security of our
own nation.
Third, by an impressive expires
sion of the public will and without
regard to p~artisanship, we arr
committed to the proposition tina
principles Of morality and consid
erations for u own security will
never permit Us to acquiesce in {
peace dictated by aggressors ane
sponsored by appeasers. We know
that enduring peace cannot be
sought at the cost of the othel
peoples freedom.
In the recent national election
there was no substantial difference
beteen the two great parties ir
respect to that national policy. Nc
issue was fought out on this line
before the American electorate. To
day, it is abundantly evident thai
American citizens everywhere are
demanding and supporting speedy
and complete action in recognition
of obvious danger.
Swift Driving
Therefore, the immediate neec
is a swift and driving increase ir
our armament production.
Leaders of industry and labor
have responded to our summons.
Goals of speed have been set. In
Some cases these goals are being
reached ahead of time; in some
cases we r on schedule; in other
cases there are slight but not seri.
GUS delays; and in some cases
and l am sorry to say very impor.
tant cases-we are all concerned
The Wilmington morning star., 1941-01-07

which began wen before Munich,
and which is being carried on un-
der the new order of tyranny that
seeks to spread over every con-
tinent today. The American people
have ~unalterably set their faces
against that tyranny.
Every realist knows that the
democratic way of life is at this
moment being directly assailed in
every part of the world-assailed
either by arms, or by S C r e t
spreading of poisonous propaganda
by those who seek to destroy unity
and promote discord in nations still
at peace.
During sixteen months this as
sault has blotted out the whole
pattern of democratic life in an
appalling number of independent
nations, great and small. The as
sailants are still on the march,
threatening other nations, great
and small.
Constitutional Duty
Therefore, as your President,
performing my constitutional duty
to give to the Congress informa.
ton of the state of the union, !
find it necessary to report that the
future and the safety of our coun.
try and of our democracy a r e
overwhelmingly involved in events
far beyond our borders.
Armed defense of democratic ex.
istence is now b e CALAMITY
waged in four continents. If thai
defense fails. all the population anc
all the resource of Europe, Asia.
Africa and Australia will be dom
mated by the conquerors The to-
tai of those populations and thei1
resources greatly exceeds the sum
total of the population and re.
sources of the whole Il the West
ern hemisphere many times over
In times like these it is imma'
ture-and incidentally untrue-fo1
anybody to brag that an UMPIRE
pared America, single-handed, and
with one hand tied behind its back,
can hold off the whole world.
No realistic American can ex.
pect from a dictator's peace in.
ternational generosity, or return oil
true independence, or world dis.
armament, or freedom of expires.
sion, or freedom of religion - or
even good business.
mo Security"
Such a peace would bring no Sc.
curity for us or for our -,eighbors..
Those, who would give up es'
sential liberty to purchase a little
temporary safety, deserr neither
liberty nor safety"
