Although opposing the present bill, Kennedy told the House foreign affairs committee that he favored all aid to England which would not lead inevitably to war. Over and over again, he said that his primary objective was to keep the United States out of the war. He was for helping Britain, though, on the ground that a strong British stand gives us time to prepare our defenses. But, he asserted that American interest in preventing a Hitler victory stopped at the point at which it would become necessary to send American troops abroad.
