PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
EPOCHAL ACT OF DEFENCE PREPARATION. NO THREAT TO ANY NATION. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON, September 3. President Roosevelt has advised Congress that the United States is giving Britain fifty destroyers in exchange for naval and air bases. The President’s message to Congress stated that the arrangement does not need Congressional ratification and is not “inconsistent with any sense of our status for peace and still less is it a threat against any nation. It is an epochal and far-reaching act of preparation for continental defence. In the face of grave danger, preparation for defence is the inalienable prerogative of a sovereign State.”
