"Democracy's fight against world conquest is
being greatly aided, and must be more greatly aided,
by the re-armament of the United States and by send-
ing every ounce and every ton of munitions and sup-
plies that we can possibly spare to help the defend-
ers who are in the front lines.
"We are planning our own defense with the ut-
most urgency; and in its vast scale we must integrate
the war needs of Britain and the other free nations
resisting aggression."
On January 15, 1941 the Secretary of State, in a state-
ment before the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House cf
Representatives, said:
"On no other question of public policy are the
people of this country so nearly unanimous and so
emphatic today as they are on that of the imperative
need, in our own most vital interest, to give Great
Britain and other victims of attack the maximum of
material aid in the shortest possible space of time. "
On January 30, 1941 the Under Secretary of State in an
address said:
"If we desire to insure that the control of
the Atlantic Ocean shall not pass to unfriendly hands,
and, that other friendly nations like China and Greece
can continue successfully to withstand the forces of
world enslavement, the American people must be pre-
pared in their own self-defense, to render all neces-
sary assistance which America can produce. 11
