What does Roosevelt say about the Neutrality Laws? Does this document support isolationism or intervention? Explain.
January 4, 1939
“There comes a time in the affairs of men when they must prepare to defend not their
homes alone but the tenets of faith and humanity on which their churches, their
governments, and their very civilization are founded. The defense of religion, of
democracy, and of good faith among nations is all the same fight. To save one we must now make up our minds to save all."
“We know what might happen to us of the United States if the new philosophies of force
were to encompass the other continents and invade our own. We, no more than other
nations, can afford to be surrounded by the enemies of our faith and our humanity.
Fortunate it is, therefore, that in this Western Hemisphere we have, under a common ideal of democratic government, a rich diversity of resources and of peoples functioning
together in mutual respect and peace."
“But the world has grown so small and weapons of attack so swift that no nation can be safe in its will to peace so long as any other single powerful nation refuses to settle its
grievances at the council table."
“We have learned that God-fearing democracies of the world which observe the sanctity of treaties and good faith in their dealings with other nations cannot safely be indifferent to international lawlessness anywhere. They cannot forever let pass, without effective
protest, acts of aggression against sister nations—acts which automatically undermine all of us."
“At the very least, we can and should avoid any action, or any lack of action, which will
encourage, assist, or build up an aggressor. We have learned that when we deliberately try to legislate neutrality, our neutrality laws may operate unevenly and unfairly—may actually give aid to an aggressor and deny it to the victim. The instinct of self preservation should warn us that we ought not to let that happen anymore."
