AS a nation we may take pride
in the fact that we are soft-heart-
ed; but we cannot afford to be
soft-headed.
We must always be wary of those
who with sounding brass and a
tinkling cymbal preach the ism
of appeasement.
We must especially beware of
that small group of selfish men
Who would clip the wings of the
American eagle in order to feather

quickly the tempo of modern war
fare could bring into our very
midst the physical attack which
we must expect if the dictator ma
tons win this war.
There is much loose talk of our
immunity from immediate and d.
rect invasion from across the seas.
Obviously, as long as the British
navy retains its power, no such
danger exists. Even if there were
no British navy, it is no, probable
that any enemy would be stupid
enough to attack us by landing
troops in the United States from
across thousands of miles of ocean,

That is why this annual message
to the congress is unique in our
history.
That is why every member of
