And has evidenced its unwillingness to find the means thru pacific negotiations for the satisfaction of what it believes are its legitimate aspirations. On this tenth day of June, 1940 the hand that held the dagger has struck it into the back of its neighbor. Let us not hesitate, all of us, to claim certain truths overwhelmingly, we as a nation - and this applies to all the other American nations: we are convinced that military & naval victory for the goods of force & hate would endanger the institutions of Democracy in the Western World, and that equally therefore the whole of our sympathies lie with those nations that are giving their life-blood in combat against those forces.” Applause.
