0:12 never before since Jamestown and
0:15 Plymouth Rock as our American
0:19 civilization being in such danger as
0:23 now frankly and definitely there is danger
0:25 danger
0:29 ahead danger against which we must
0:33 prepare but we well know that we cannot
0:36 Escape danger or the fear of it by
0:39 crawling into bed and pulling the covers
0:40 over our
0:44 heads if Great Britain goes down the
0:47 Axis powers will control the continents
0:52 of Europe and Asia and Africa and
0:56 australasia and the high seas and they
0:59 will be in a position to bring enormous
1:00 military and
1:04 resources against this hemisphere it is
1:07 no exaggeration to say that all of us in
1:10 the Americas would be living at the
1:14 point of a gun A gun loaded with
1:20 explosive bullets economic as well as
1:22 military the experience of the past two
1:26 years has proven Beyond doubt that no
1:30 Nation can appease the Nazis
1:37 no man can tame a tiger into a kitten by stroking
1:38 stroking
1:42 it there can be no
1:45 appeasement with
1:48 ruthlessness there can be no
1:51 reasoning with an incendiary
1:55 bomb we know now that a nation that can
1:59 have peace with the Nazis only at the price
2:00 price
2:02 of total
2:04 surrender the people of Europe who are
2:08 defending themselves do not ask us to do
2:12 their fighting they ask us for the
2:15 Implements of war the planes the tanks

2:22 them to fight for their Liberty and our
2:25 security we have furnished the British
2:29 great material support and we will
2:31 furnish far more in the
2:35 future there will be no bottlenecks in
2:39 our determination to Aid Great Britain no
2:40 no
2:44 dictator no combination of dictators
2:46 will weaken that
2:51 determination by threats of how they will
2:52 will
2:54 construe that
2:56 determination this nation is making a
2:58 great effort to produce everything that
3:01 is necessary in in this emergency and

3:07 effort requires Great
3:10 sacrifice the nation expects our defense
3:13 Industries to continue operation without
3:17 interruption by strikes or lockouts it
3:19 expects and insists that management and

3:26 by voluntary or legal means to continue
3:30 to produce the supplies that are so all
3:35 needed we must be the great AAL of
3:39 democracy for us this is an emergency as
