of this country it is being predicted
that the government will become the
sole supplier of many raw materials
This has already been worked out in

used in defense industry. The needs
of defense industry will be supplied
first, after which the remaining
stock will be rationed out to manu-

further methods or combination
of methods, which can or should
be utilized. are being devised by
our military and naval techni-
clans. who. with me, will work
out and put into effect such new
and Observation-Disclosures as may
be needed.
The delivery of needed supplies
to Britain is imperative. This
can be done; 1t must be done; it
will be done.
To the other American ma
tiors-20 Republics and the Do
minion of Canada say this:
The United States does not
merely propose these purposes,
but is actively engaged today in
carrying them out.
I say to them further: You
may disregard those few citizens
of the United States who contend
that we are disunited and cannot
act.
Answers "Timid Ones"
Who Ask Peace at all Costs.
There are some timid ones
among us who say that we must
preserve peace at any price-lest
we lose our liberties forever.
To them 1 say: Never in the
history of the world has nation
lost its democracy by success
full struggle to defend its democ-
racy. We must not be defeated
by the fear of the very danger
which we are preparing to resist.
Our freedom has shown its abil-
ity to survive war, but it would
never survive surrender. The
only thing We have to fear is
fear itself"
There Is, of course, a small
group of sincere, patriotic men
and women whose real passion
for peace has shut their eyes to
the ugly realities of international
banditry and to the need to
resist it at all costs. I am sure
they are embarrassed by the
sinister support they are receiv-
ing from the enemies of democ-
racy in our midst-the Bundists,
and Fascists, and Communists,
and every group devoted to
bigotry and racial and religious
intolerance. 1t is no mere CO.
incidence that all the arguments
put forward by these enemies of
democracy-all their attempts to
confuse and divide our people

of the presence OF attacking
raiders, on the sea, under the
sea, and above the sea. The
danger from these raiders is
greatly lessened if their loca-
ton is definitely known. We
are thus being forewarned; and
we shall be on our guard against
efforts to establish Nazf bases
closer to our hemisphere.
The deadly facts OF war COM
pei nations. for simple self-pres-
ervation, to make stern choices.
1t does not make sense. for
instance, to say, Il believe in
the defense Of all the Western
Hemisphere" and in the next
breath to say. Il will not fight
for that defense until the enemy
has landed on our shores" And
if we believe in the independence
and integrity of the Americas,
we must be willing to fight to
defend them just as much as
we would fight for the safety
Of our own homes.
We Shall Actively Resist
With All Our Resources.
1t is time for us to realize
that the safety of American
homes even in the center of our
country has a definite relation
ship to the continued safety of
homes in Nova Scotia or Trini-
dad or Brazil.
Our national policy today,
therefore, is this:
First. we shall actively resist
wherever necessary, and with all
our resources. every attempt by
Hitler to extend his Nazi DOM
ination to the Western Henri
sphere, or to threaten it. We
shall actively resist his every
attempt to gain control of the
seas. We insist upon the vital
Importance of keeping Hitlerism
away from any point in the world
which could be used and would
be used as a base of attack
against the Americas.
Second, from the point of view
of strict naval and military
necessity, we shall give every
possible assistance to Britain and
to all who, with Britain, are re-
sisting Hitlerism or its equiva-
lent with force of arms. Our
patrols are helping now to in
sure delivery of the needed sup
plies to Britain. All additional
measures necessary to deliver the

seemed impossible of attainment
yet they were attained.
Nation Expects All TO Do
Parts Without Stint.


AS a military force. we were
weak when We established our
independence, but We successfully
stood off tyrants, powerful in
their day, who are now lost in
the dust of history.
Odds meant nothing to us then.
Shall we now, with all our poten-
tial strength, hesitate to take
every single measure necessary to
maintain our American iberties7
Our people and our Govern
ment will not hesitate to meet
that challenge
AS the President of a united
and determined people, I say
solemnly:
We reassert the ancient Amer
lean doctrine of freedom of the
seas
We reassert the solidarity of
the 81 American Republics and
the Dominion of Canada in the
preservation of the independence
of the hemisphere.
We have pledged material sup
port to the other democracies Of
the woodland we will fulfil,
that pledge.
We in the Americas will decide
for ourselves whether. and when,
and where, our American inter-
eSts are attacked or our security
threatened.
We are placing our armed
forces in strategic military posi-
ton.
We will not hesitate to use our
armed forces to repel attack.
We reaSSert our abiding faith
in the vitality of our constitu-
tional republic as a perpetual
home of freedom, of tolerance.
and of devotion to the word of
God.
Therefore, with profound con-
seriousness of my responsibilities
to my countrymen and to my
country's cause, I have tonight
issued a proclamation that an
unlimited national emergency
exists and requires the strength
ening of our defense to the ex-
IRENE limit of our national
power and authority.
The Nation will expect all in
dividuals and all groups TO play
their full parts, without stint.
and without selfishness. and
without doubt that our democ-
racy will triumphantly survive.
I repeat the words of the sign
ers of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence-that little band of
patriots, fighting long ago against
overwhelming odds, but certain,
as are we. of ultimate victory.
With firm reliance on the
protection of Divine Providence.
we mutually pledge to each other
our lives, our fortunes, and oul
sacred honor"
