Americans fought in 1776, the President declared, for a grea' principle that government shoulc be by the consent of the governed by representatives chosen in free elections. That doctrine swepl across the world for a centurj and a half, he said. "But now, in our generation-in the last few years," he asserted, "a new resistance, in the form of several new practices of tyranny, has.

Yet all those persons who lie nights, he said, "know' full well that in these days we cannot save freedom with pitchforks and muskets alone, after a dictator combination has gained control of the rest of the world." And because freedom cannot be preserved hi America if it is lost in all the neighbor nations, he said, this country is engaged in a ierious, mighty, unified action in the cause of the defense of the western hemisphere and the freedom of the seas.
