The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-06

 al policy" as this:
 ''First, by an impressive expression of the public will and without re- gard to partisanship, we are com mitted to all-inclusive national de- fenSe.
 "Second, by an impressive express sion of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are con- nitted to full support of all those Tesolute peoples, everywhere, who are resisting aggression and are thereby keeping war away from our hemisphere. By this support, we eX- press our determination that the Democratic cause shall prevail and we strengthen the defense and se- crrity of our own nation.
 '@Third, by an impressive expres- sion of the pubic will and without regard to partisanship, we are com mitsed to the proposition that prin- ciples of morality and considerations for our own security will never per- init us to acquiesce in peace dic- tated by aggressors and sponsored by appeasers. We know that endur- ing peace cannot be bought at the cost of other peoples freedom"
 He gave Congress assurance that ssfor what we send abroad, we shall be repaid, within reasonable time following the close of hostilities, in similar materials, or, at our option in other goods of many kinds which they can produce and which we need"
 Security Threatened
 The President said he was speak ing St an unprecedented moment in this country's history because at no previous time has American security been as seriously threatened from without as 1t is today
 aThe American people" he said, sl1avs unalterably set their faces against the tyranny" represented by the dictatorship across the sea.
 MT. Roosevelt reiterated his scorn of threats from the dictatorships that they might regard United States aid to the embattled Demo- cracies as warlike acts.
 '.When the dictatorships are ready to make war upon us, they will not wait for an act of war on our part" he said. ''They did not wait for Nor way or Belgium or the Netherlands to commit an act of war"
 MT. Roosevelt set forth his pro- gram for extension of aid to the en- battled Democracies in these para graphs:
 T shall ask this Congress for greatly increased new appropriations and authorizations to carry on what we have begun.
 q also ask this Congress for auth ority and for funds sufficient to manufacture additional munitions and war supplies of many kinds, to be turned over to those nations which are now in actual war with aggressor nations.
 Must Act As Arsenal
 .Our most useful and immediate role is to act as an arsenal for them as well as for ourselves. They do not need manpower. They do need bll- lions of dollars worth of the weap- Ons of defense. ,,
 .AThe time is near when they will not be able to pay for them in ready cash. We cannot, and will nor, tell them they must surrender, merely because of present inability to pay for the weapons which we know i. they must have.
 T do not recommend that we make them a loan of dollars with which to pay for these weapons d loan to be repaid in dollars.
 q recommend that we make It possible for those nations to con- tinue to obtain war materials in the united States, fitting their orders into our own program. Nearly all of their material would, If the time ever came, be useful for our own defense.
 aTaking counsel of expert mill tary and naval authorities, con- sidering what is best for our own security, we are free to decide how much should be kept here and how much should be sent abroad to our friends who by their determined and heroic resistance are giving Us time in which to make ready our own defense.
 Will Be Repaid
 ssFor what we send abroad, we shall be repaid, within reasonable time following the close of hostil- ities, in similar materials, or, at cu1 option, in other goods of many kinds which they can produce ano which we need"
 Transformation of America into an arsena1 for world democracy MT. Roosevelt said, will entail sac rifice-including heavier taxes which he will recommend in his budget Wednesday.
 But he said that "the happiness of future generations of Americans may well depend upon how effec- tive and how immediate we car make our aid felt"
 ssWe must all prepare to make the sacrifices that the emergency as serious as war itself-demands, he said. whatever stands in tht way of speed and efficiency in de fense preparedness must give way to the national need"
 "A part of the sacrifice means thu payment of more money in taxes, lie said. "In my budget message | recommend that a greater portion Of this great defense program b' paid for from taxation than we art paying today"
