Scope and Contents note

Roosevelt speaks about the Pearl Harbor attack and how America intends to respond. He says the Japanese story has copied the arch of Germany under Hitler and Italy under Mussolini, saying Japanese aggression in the Pacific matches aggressions in Europe and Africa. He does not know how bad the damage at Pearl Harbor is. Roosevelt calls for the country to be prepared for strikes anywhere, including on both coasts, but notes the country has been gearing up for war for the past 18 months. He calls for the complete mobilization of the country, saying it will be a hard and grueling fight. He portrays service to one's country not at a sacrifice, but as a privilege. He believes there will be plenty of food for the war, but that other materials--metals, etc.--will be needed first for the war effort. He says this shows America can never isolate herself from the rest of the world ever again. Comparing the Axis powers to gangsters and recognizing the obvious conflict with the Japanese, he says America will also fight Hitler and Mussolini because it would be bad to have the rest of the world controlled by fascists.
