"Self interest dictates that we
prepare ourselves against attack,
since without adequate arma-
ment, training and equipment
we would be at the mercy of any
aggressor. Self interest, too, dic-
tates that we give our utmost
support to Great Britain and
China because it is clear that if
Great Britain and China are de-
feated we will be left without
friends and without Allies, com-
pelled to fight single-handed for
our security. We would be com-
pletely surrounded economically
and could not possibly hope to
compete with an Axis-controlled
world of slave countries.
