LET not the dictators of Europe
and Asia doubt our unity now" he

I'VE know" he said, that
although Prussian autocracy was
bad enough, Nazism is far worse.
"Nazi forces are not seeking mere

elective systems of government on
every continent-including our own,

OF the dlctatorS, their boasting about
master race, will prove to be pure
stun and nonsense. There never

day, MIR. Roosevelt told his audience
as the latter adjust themselves ito
the terrible reality of a world at
war.
The decisions of our democracy
may be slowly arrived at" he de-
clared, "but when that decision is
made, it is proclaimed not with the

and for all the governments in
exile whose homelands are tenn
porarily occupied by the aggressors.
With deliberation and precision
he itemized the categories of aid
which these nations may expect

Grecian allies need ships. From
America, they will get ships.
They need planes. From America

"They need food. From America
they will get food.
"They need tanks and guns and
ammunition and supplies of all

tanks and guns and ammunition
and supplies of all kinds. 50"
China, through Generalssimo
Chang Kai-shek, asks our help.
America has said that China shall
have our help"
And not only will America play
this part in obtaining victory for
the democracies, the Chief Execu-

our country must continue to play
its great part in the period of world
reconstruction"

tional Broadcasting Co. tuned in a
trans Atlantic broadcast from Lon

Presidents address.
