NEW-YORK TIMES, New York, NY, January 7, 1941
 
* Franklin Roosevelt's Four Freedoms defined
* Lend lease

Front page has a 3 line banner headline: "Roosevelt Asks All-Out Aid To Democracies To Send Them Ships, Planes, Tanks And Guns; British Moving On Tobruk; Nazis Stir Balkans" with 1 column subheads that include: "Help Held Legal" "Not Act of War Even if a Dictator Says So, the President Asserts" "For A free World" and much more.

The text of Roosevelt's message to Congress appears on page 4. In his message he defines what he considered the four essential freedoms: freedom of speech and expression freedom of worship freedom from want and freedom from fear.

Other news of the day throughout.

source: wikipedia: The Four Freedoms are goals famously articulated by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the State of the Union Address he delivered to the 77th United States Congress on January 6, 1941. In an address also known as the Four Freedoms speech, Roosevelt enumerated four points as fundamental freedoms humans "everywhere in the world" ought to enjoy:

Freedom of speech and expression
Freedom of every person to worship in his own way
Freedom from hunger
Freedom from fear 

His inclusion of the latter two freedoms went beyond the traditional American Constitutional values protected by the First Amendment, and endorsed a right to economic security and an internationalist view of foreign policy that have come to be central tenets of modern American liberalism.
