...followed. When the Administration said: No-more-Business-as-Usual; when the President pledged the U.S. to become the "Arsenal of Democracy" he took it all literally. Then he watched the dinosaur of a defense program falter, swamp itself, stumble from delay to delay, without plan understanding or grim intent. He listened carefully to the defense chiefs delivering excellently-phrased appeals to the U.S. to arouse, make sacrifices, speed up. This looked very good in the rotogravures, but Mr. Ickes then watched the same orators on their return to Washington, saw them wasting month after precious month...
...Southwest in a big way this month when the new Archbishop of San Antonio sponsored a two-week School of Social Justice-the first ever held in that section. To it went 147 priests, mostly young, mostly from the San Antonio province. Coatless and often collarless. they sat intent day after day in the sweltering heat, mopping their brows and taking notes.

This speech is in intent a declaration of war, and no defensive war at that. If the American people were determined that the Azores, the Cape Verde Islands, Dakar, etc., are vital to the defense of our shores, the President would not have needed to stress the point so strongly. The fact is that at least a large minority of Americans do not agree, and will keep on saying so with all the force they command. They do not doubt our ability to survive; they have felt all along that aid to England is a sensible policy dictated...
