The Navy Depert:Dent of the United States has reported

Iceland , had reached e point southeast or Greenland . She was

She W88 then and t~ere a ttacked by a s ubmarine. Cerceny

If the deetroyer ¥:&8 visible to t he subl:arlne whe n

the torpedo was fired , then the attack V.'SB o deliberate

The paesenaers and the crew were force(!: int o open boatf.l hundreds

ot miles from lend, in direct violation of international

ae;reea:enta s16ned by the Goverrur.ent or Germeny. No apology,

no allegation or alstake , no orrer of reparations has come

!rom the Nazi eovermnent .

In July, 19Ll, an AJrarioe.n battleship in North Al:lerlcan

euboerines wen "1tbln hutXlrede or miles or this spot at the

t.la, so tbe natlont~llty or the au~rlne is clear.

Five days BBP e United St ates Navy ship on petrol

picked up thr ee survivors of en lu!lerioen-ov.ned ship operating

under t he flag or our sis t er Republic or Pe.n.ame -- the s. s .

S!SSA. On August seventeenth , ehe n&d bee n firs t torpedoed

without wsrn1~ , end then s helled , near Greenland , While

carrying civUhn supplies to I celend . It is teared thet t he

other membera of her crew have been drowned. In view or the

/ -s-

ute.bUshed presence or Geraan wblarines in this d cin1ty ,

t here can be no reaeonnble doubt as to t he identity ot the

attecker.

Five days ego, another Unit ed St ates mercha nt ship,

In the race or c.ll t hiB , we Amer icans are keeping o ur

outgrown t he thought of reeling compelle d to t i ght some other

Instead, we Amerjcana ere taki~ a long- rtange point

of view in regard to certe.i n t'unde.J:~entels em. to a aerl oe of

events on lend and on sea wblol: moot be considered as a whole --

as a pert or a world pattern .

[It w:lUld be unworthy or a great notion to exaggerate

an isolated tnoldent , or to beoome intlued by some one act

or violence. Eut it \W::luld be inexcusable folly to m1n1111ze ~

such lncident.s in the race of evidence which me.kes it cleer ~

that the incident i s not i sol a t ed, but part of a general plan] I The i llportant truth 18 the.t these acts of int.ernlitlonal

la~lesaneu are a manifest ation of a design Y.'hicb baa been

r.: ·Y lll8de clear to the Am&rtlen people tor a lena time. L: t is the

Nazi deaign to aboliah tho troodom or the seea , end to aoquire !hJ absolute control en3 dolil1mt1on of the sees ror theaelves] ~v..

Nazi cont rol or the seas, no merotwnt ship of the United States

or or any other Am&rioen Republic would be tree to carry on

any peacerul ooa~~~e roe , nce pt by the oondeacendi ne grace or

this foreign and tyrannical power. The Atltlnt1c Ooeen which

has been, and which should alweya be , a free and friendly

ot t.he United St.etee , to the cooau of the United Statu , end

t.o the inland cities of the United States.

The Hitler Governn:ent. in def1MC8 of the l&WS or the

sea end of the recognized rights of all other mtiona , hna

preauoed to declare , on paper, that great e.rcea of the seas --

e ven including a vest expense lying in the Western Heclsphare -­

are t o be closed , and the. t no ships may enter them for any

purpose, except a t peril of being sunk . .Actually they a re

Blnking ships at will and without 11-arnlng in widely separated

erees both within eD4 r e r outtlide or these rer- tlung pretended

-·-Thie Ned et.tN.pt to sei:>.e control or the ooeene 1a

but a counterpart or tile Nazi plots now being carried on

throughout the Western HsniBphere - - all designed t oward the

agent.s but also biB dupes among us - - blve sousht to -.ke

ready tor him toothol d a am bridgeheads in the New World ,

be used ae soon ae he baa gained control or the ooeons.

['Hie intrigues, hla plots, lila me.chinetlons, his

sabotage in this New Worlcl ere all known to the Government

or the United States. Conspiracy bee tollo'roed conspiracy . J .Le.at year a plot to seize the Governr:ent or Uruguay

'rles eme.ehed by t he pron1pt action or that country , which wa s

supported in 1'ull by her Am&rlean neighbors. A like plot was

then batebil'@. in Argentine, a.M thet Government hu carefully

and w18ely blocked it at every point. Kore recently, en

endenvor was me.de to subvert the Government or BoU 'V i a .

Within the peat rew week:a the discovery was made or secret

a1 r lending fields in Colombia , within essy r ange or the

Panama Canel. I could multiply instances.

To be ultime.tely auooeutul in world mestery, Hitler

k00'¥1's that he must get oontrol of the seas. He must firs t

destroy the brHlge or shipe Wllch we ere building across the

Atlantic, over •'hlch we shall continw to roll the 1.Jnplea:enta

or war to help destroy him and all hie works in the end . He

mus t wipe out our potrol on sea and. in the air. He must

allence the British Hevy .

[It moot be expWned age.in e.nd again to people Who Uke

to think or the United States Navy u an invinoible protect ion,

that t h18 can be true only 11' t heBrltish Navy survives. Thet

la sillll>le ari thmetic .

For it the world outside the Americas falls under

Axis doml m tion, t he sblpbu 1ldil'l6 tac111tles whlct. the Ax1a

powers would then poaaesa in all of Europa , in the British

Isles, and in the Far Eeat .,uld be muob greater then all the ................... _ .................. '"(if0

aeek11'18 to double and even redouble the size or our Navy , t he

Axle powers, in control or thereat or the "''orld , would have

t he an- power and the physical resources t.o outbuild ua several

times over.

It 1S time for all Americans or all the Americea to

a top being deluded by the romantic notion that t he Americea

can go on living happily end peacefully in a Nazi- domino ted

world.

Generation after generation, J.merice has battltld ror

the general policy or the rreedoa or the aees. Thet policy

18 a very s i mple one -- but a basic , tund~ntel one. It

means that no nation bee th e r i ght t.o make t he broad ooeaM

or the world a t greet diatenoea f rom t he actual thea tre or

land war, un.sere tor the oorameroe or others.

Tbe.t bas been ou.r pollcy, proyec!. time end. t.1111e again,

in all cur hi story.

Our policy hna applied rrom tilt& iDlllleworial -- a nd

etill applie s -- not aerely to the Atlantic but to the Pacific

an4 to all other oceans 88 well.

Unre8trictec!. submarine wartsre in 1941 constitutes

a c!.etience -- an ect ot agg.re8aion -- ag81nst that historic

American policy .

[rt ia now clear that Hitler has begun hi s campaign to

control the 8888 by nat hlfl88 force and by wiping out every

ventge ot international lew and hucanity . J His intention hl!ls been cadis clear. The Amer i can people

can have no further 1llu81ona about it.

Ho tender \\1lispering8 ot app t>asers that Hitler ia not

1nt ereeted i n the western Hemisphere , no sopori tio lullabie8

that a wide ocean proteota u.a troa h1a -- can l ong have any

ettect on the hard- headed , te.r-sigbted and rea.Ustlc American

people.

Because ot theee episodes , beco.uae ot the movements

end operaticna of Germen warehipe, and because of t he clear,

repeeted proof tbet. the present Governunt of Germany baa no

r espect. tor t reaties or tor interne.tion&l. l ew, tha t it baa no

decent attitude to"·erd neutral nations or human life -- we

Americans ere now t&ce t o tece not "1th abstract theoriee but

with cruel, relentlesa tecta.

This attack on the GREER was no localized military

operation in t he North Atlantic . This was no rtere epillode in

a atrut)gle betw•n two nations . ThiiJ was one deUrmined s tep

towards creating a permanent world ayatem bas ed on toree ,

t error and murder,

f..-.3. I am sure tha t even now the Nazi s are W!lit.ing to

see whether the United State.e will by ailenoe give them the

sreen lisb• "' gn ahead oo <hlapo'h ot de"r~tlon.}'

The Nazi dans•r to our "'estern v.orld he s long ceeaed to

be e. mere poasibll1ty . Thf:l danger 18 he re now -- not only ~· ~~

There hils now oo• a time when you and I mWJ t see the
