Mr. Roosevelt paid high tribute to China's resistance to Japan, pledged further aid fo the Chungking Government and said "the magnificent defence of China which will I believe, increase in strength." was also holding up Herr Hitler's plan of world domination.
Mr, Roosevelt declared that "the pressing problems that confront us are military problems....the first and fundamental fact is that what started as a European war has developed. as the Nazis always intended it should develop, into a World War for world domination.
"Herr Hitler has never considered domination of Europe as an end in itself. European conquest was but a step toward ultimate goals in all other continents, The unmistakeable fact apparent to all of us is that unless the advance of Hitlerism is forcibly checked now, the western hemisphere will be within range of the Nazi weapons of destruction," he added.
