Isolationists and anti-Roosevelt Republicans “blank-check bill” “give the President power to carry on a kind of undeclared war all over the world, in which America would do everything except actually put soldiers in the front line trenches where the fighting is.” Senator Robert Taft Press Conference, FDR, December 17, 1940 In the present world situation...it is important from a selfish viewpoint of American defense that we should do everything to help the defend itself. Suppose the home of the President’s neighbor catches fire and he has a length of hose, 400 or 500 feet. If he can take the hose and connect it to the neighbor’s hydrant, he may be able to put out the fire. He does not say his hose cost $15; pay me $15. He doesn’t want $15, but his (hose) back when the fire is over. The neighbor gives back the hose and pays him for the use of it. If it gets smashed in the fire, the President says he was glad to lend it. The neighbor says he will replace the part destroyed. If the President has got back his hose, he has done a pretty good job. http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=15913 Lend-Lease Act all-out war production Hitler recognized lend-lease as unofficial declaration of war Germany avoided US May 21, 1941--Robin Moor Sank unarmed American merchantman https://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=false&doc=71# “Baby Betty Rothwell Loves her Orange Juice.
