On March 15, 1941 the President in an address said:
"There is no longer the slightest question or
doubt that the American people recognize the extreme
seriousness of the present situation. That is why
they have demanded, and got, a policy of unqualified,
immediate, all-out aid for Britain, Greece, China
and for all the governments in exile whose homelands
are temporarily occupied by the aggressors.
"From now on that aid will be increased--and
yet again increased--until total victory has been
won.
"China likewise expresses the magnificant will
of millions of plain people to resist the dismember-
ment of their nation. China, through the generalis-
simo, Chiang Kai-shek, asks our help. American has
said that China shall have our help.
"Our country is going to be what our people
have proclaimed it must be--the arsenal of democracy.
"Our country is going to play its full part."
On April 24, 1941 the Secretary of State in an address said:
"Events have shown beyond possible question that
the safety of this hemisphere and of this country calls
for resistance wherever resistance will be most effec-
tive. In my judgment our safety and security require
that, in accordance with the declared policy of the
ARCHIVES CRATIONAL AND
Legislative and Executive branches of the Government,
continues
aid must be supplied without hesitation to Great Britain
and those other countries that are resisting the sweep
of the general conflagration. This policy means, in
practical application, that such aid must reach its
destination in the shortest of time and in maximum
quantity. So--ways must be found to do this."
