Item # 723910

December 30, 1940

THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 30, 1940

* President Franklin D. Roosevelt speech
* "The Arsenal of Democracy" by radio

The front page has a great banner headline: "ROOSEVELT CALLS FOR GREATER AID TO BRITAIN; 'AXIS WILL NOT WIN'" with subheads. Nice for display. The complete text of his speech appears on page 6, including: "We must be the great arsenal of democracy. For us this is an emergency as serious as war itself. We must apply ourselves with the same resolution, the same sense of urgency, the same spirit of patriotism and sacrifice as we would show were we at war." Much content on this "Fireside Chat" and includes an image of FDR in front of his microphone during his address to the American people.
Nice, complete rag edition.
