Conquerors of Europe have a goal, which is not only to defeat the individual in shackles, to enslave the whole of Europe and to use all its sources of aid, in order then to tear the rule over the whole world in itself. Hitler explained some time ago that there would never be an understanding between the Natibnal Socialism and the democracies of the world. In other words, the Axis powers have announced to the world that there is a gap between their conception of state and ours that does not allow lasting peace. It must be declared once and for all that the United States still has a right to support peace talks before the day has come, as the apprehension nations clearly show that they have given up every thought of world domination and conquest. The forces that have joined forces to destroy freedom will continue to stay away from America's coast. Yen will be blocked from England and Greece and all those who have escaped from their countries to participate in the struggle, just as Japan is held back by China. In America, there are some people who believe that the war in Evropa and Asia is not about anything, but it is a Prague of first importance for us that Europe and Asia keep our paths open to the world. The friendly neighbourly relations between England and the United States and also the Monroe doctrine have allowed any difference of opinion between these two countries to be settled by peaceful means. Is anyone really seriously of the opinion that we must fear an attack on our lives as long as England remains rule in the Atlantic Ocean? Or is anyone perhaps of the opinion that we can remain unconcerned if the Axis powers there become our neighbours? If England does not, then the Axis Powers will dominate Europe, Africa, New Zealand and Australia. We in America then constantly live under the threat of an explosive-loaded Revolvers. We would then stand in a new time filled with Graveh, in which the whole world, with the exception of ourselves, would be ruled by threats of totalitarian force. We would turn to exist in such a world into a military power based on the grievance of the war economy. It is vain to believe that the sea still means security. The sea is not as far away as it was at the time of the sailing ships. Our future depends to a large extent on the success of England's war. With the thought of today and tomorrow, I explain to the American people roundly that we take a much lower risk of becoming involved in the war, if we now support the peoples with al,en means, which defend themselves against the attacker. To make it clear to you, danger lies before us. We know very well that we cannot escape danger and fear when we crawl into bed and pull the blanket over our heads. We do know that many peoples in Europe have been overrun and have been subjected to a new form of slavery, although they had signed a non-aggression gap with Germany. The Nazis tried to justify their actions with hypocritical and lying excuses, saying that they had occupied a country to restore order there -2-
