22:52:58 CU man talking to camera (SOF): I want the country to know that this is another cheap political trick to give the President, under the caption of an annual message to Congress, the opportunity to make a political speech to defend his New Deal policies that are becoming so unpopular at the present time. Mind you my friends, we have no objection or fear to the President speaking as often and as many times as he desires.

I would dedicate this nation to the policy of the good neighbor; the neighbor who resolutely respects himself & because he does so respects the rights of others; a neighbor who respects his obligation, & respects the sanctity of his agreements, in and with a world of neighbors. Applause.
22:54:40 Nations seeking expansion, seeking the rectification of injustice springing from former wars; seeking out less betrayed for population, or even for their own peaceful contribution for the progress of civilization, fail to demonstrate that patience necessary to obtain reasonable & legitimate objectives by peaceful negotiation or by an appeal to the finer instincts of world justice. They have therefore impatiently reverted to the old belief of the law of the sword; or to the fantastic conception that they, and they alone, are chosen to fulfill a mission and that all the others among the billion and a half of human beings in the world must and shall learn from and be subject to them.
22:55:47 I recognize, and you will recognize, that these worlds which I have chosen w/ deliberation will not prove popular in any nation that chooses to fit this shoe to its foot (applause).
22:56:09 ` As a consistent part of a clear policy the United States is following a two-fold neutrality towards any and all nations which engage in wars that are not of an immediate concern of the Americas. First, we decline to encourage the prosecution of war by permitting belligerents to obtain arms, ammunition, or implements of war from the United States. Second, we seek to discourage the use by belligerent nations of any and all American products calculated to facilitate the prosecution of a war in quantities over & above our normal export of them in time of peace.

[Roosevelt s Teamsters Labor Convention Speech, 11Sep40]
Seated men cheering in auditorium, pieces of newspaper thrown.
20:40:22 FDR at mic on stage: ...I m in sort of a quandary tonight. I don t know whether its a poltical speech or not. I don t know because these days, if in a certain period of the year you refer in any way to things that happened...including the past seven years, it is a great question as to whether you are talking American history or politics. Continues... ...I have been inspecting the progress of our national defense.
20:42:19 ...through all of it there was the impressive conviction that America is rising to meet the evergrowing needfor an adquate, physical armed defense of the United States. Continues... I am visiting another type of national defense.... Continues... ..when I speak of labor force . Cut to:
20:43:14 It is one of the characteristics of a free & democratic modern nation that we have free & independent labor unions. In country after country in other lands, labor unions have disappeared as the iron hand of the dictator has taken command. Cut to:
20:43:33 ..to the one thing that this Administration from the very beginning has insisted upon: the assurance to labor of the untrammeled right... abrupt end w/ slug.
20:43:47 ...nation they love. Yes it is my hope that soon the United States will have a national system under which no needy man or woman w/in our borders will lack a minimum old-age pension that will provide adequate food, adequate clothing & adequate lodging to the end of the road & w/o having to go to the poorhouse to get it. Cut to...
20:44:31 ...live in comfort & in happiness. The people must decide whether to continue the type of Government which has fostered the progress to date, or whether to turn it over to those who by their actiion, if not alwys by their word, have shown their fundamental opposition to the main objectives toward which we have worked in the past & to whch we are definitely committed for the future. Cut to...
20:45:22 Yes, our mighty national defense effort...cannot be measured alone in terms of mathematical increase in the number of soldiers & sailors & guns & tanks & planes. Behind them all must stand a united people...essential supplement to their guns & planes. Cut to...
20:46:21 Labor knows. I don t have to tell labor; labor knows that there is no room in the labor movement for the racketeer or the strong-arm man. Government, your government, is determined to help labor unions clean their own house of those few persons who have tried to betray them. Cut to...
20:46:48 Goes on talking about unity w/in labor organizations & w/ govt. for national defense. No business is above government.

Herbert Hoover to camera re reducing relief spending to other nations emerging from war.
... 6 billions already spent in relieving civilian populations out of American charity... problems of the American taxpayer must be considered. We must bring an end to this enormous drain on American resources as soon as it is possible. There are certain minimum duties which we have to perform. We have to support the populations under the American flag.... we shall reduce our commitment to the lowest possible minimum... Our purpose must be to get these nations on a self-supporting basis and off of public charity....

[FDR Address to Pan-American Union - Part One]
Address before the Governing Board of the Pan American Union, White House, May 27, 1941
re why the Americas should fight the threat of German domination over the seas.
... what started as a European war has developed, as the Nazis always intended it should develop, into a world war for world domination... unless the advance of Hitlerism is forcibly checked now, the Western Hemisphere will be within range of the Nazi weapons of destruction... Every dollar of material we send helps to keep the dictators away from our own hemisphere. Every day that they are held off gives us time to build more guns and tanks and planes and ships... The supply of these tools will not fail-it will increase. .. Under those terms Germany would literally parcel out the world, hoisting the swastika itself over vast territories and populations, and setting up puppet governments of its own choosing, wholly subject to the will and the policy of a conqueror... They plan to treat the Latin American nations as they are now treating the Balkans... The American laborer would have to compete with slave labor in the rest of the world. Minimum wages, maximum hours? Nonsense!... We do not accept, and will not permit, this Nazi "shape of things to come." ... The war is approaching the brink of the Western Hemisphere itself. It is coming very close to home.... Control or occupation by Nazi forces of any of the islands of the Atlantic would jeopardize the immediate safety of portions of North and South America, and of the island possessions of the United States and of the ultimate safety of the continental United States itself... The Axis Powers can never achieve their objective of world domination unless they first obtain control of the seas (...) and to achieve it, they must capture Great Britain. .... But if the Axis Powers fail to gain control of the seas, they are certainly defeated... Both they and their people know this-and they are afraid... Yes; all freedom(...) All of American history (...) has been inevitably tied up with those words "freedom of the seas." ... We can answer this peril by two simultaneous measures: First, by speeding up and increasing our great shipbuilding program; and second, by helping to cut down the losses on the high seas. Attacks on shipping off the very shores of land which we are determined
to protect present an actual military danger to the Americas. And that danger has recently been heavily underlined by the presence in Western Hemisphere waters of Nazi battleships of great striking power.
