the greatest and most effective air
force in the world; the greatest
Navy in the world. and all defense
equipment essential in modern war
fare.
At least two-thirds of al Ameri-
cans are in favor of giving to Eng
land quickly the war materials and
equipment she needs, and then a
large majority desire that we keep
out Of the European war as fight
ing belligerent.
Many eloquent speeches have been
made by the leaders of our country
in the crisis, but let us remember
that the only effective language to-
day in dealing with Hitler and other
ruthless dictators is language trans
lated into real action in producing
actual fighting planes, warships,
great guns, tanks and other military
equipment, adequately manned with
trained and efficient personnel.
Wars are not won by planes on
order. Wars are not won on appro-
priations unspent. Wars are not
won by materials yet undelivered.
Tonight I speak as an advocate
of our American defense policy
adopted by Congress, which has
been implemented by granting so
far every single executive request.
I have voted for the policy and all
that has been described as required
to carry it out.

Those of us in public life can, hope,
discuss vital matters from the stand
point Of high patriotism. 1t Is vital,
I think, for us to realize the facts
as they are, and to blast ourselves
out of the sixth column of deadly
apathy. The sooner our national
leadership provides the effective ad-
ministrative machinery to do the job
and convinces the country that we
are not getting prepared as We
should, that we are not sending the
