Addreesing the graduating
elaas of Virginia rTnlrersity only
a few hours after Italy had ac-
ttrely elded with Qennany, Mr
Xeoeerelt departed from his pre
pared text to denounce the Ital
ian dictator and declare;
“On this, the tenth day of June,
1940, the hand that held the dag
ger has struck it in the hack of
Its neighbor.”
Hie words electrified his audi
ence of 2,000 persons which ap
plauded lustily. They cheered a-
galn when he declared the United
States will aid the Allies in every
way possible and at the same time
arm speedily and formidably to
repulse any foreign challenge in
this hemisphere.
The President related in de>tail
months of fruitless personal ef
fort to persuade Mussolini to
peacefully adjust his grievances
with the Allies and, again interpo
lating his text, said:

"In so doing. It has manifested
disregard for the rights and se

lives of the people of tbo-se na

He warned that the nation and
its people, are endangered by the
war and that the United States
will pursue two obvious and si
multaneous courses—aid to the
Allies and rearmament for self-
defense.
“No obstruction must he placed
in the road to those objectives,”
he declared. “We will not slow
down or detour. Signs and sig
nals call for full spee.d ahead.”
Speech Prepared Lata
Mr. Roosevelt did not prepare
bis speech until after boarding
his special train in Washington.
He purposely waited until he had
a complete digest of Mussolini's
declaration of war.
In the graduating class was the
President’s son and namesake,
Franklin Roosevelt Jr., pri
mary reason for choosing Char
lottesville as the site of what may
be classified as his most historic
speech. His remarks, however,
were not confined to the com
mencement audience. They were
broadcast throughout the nation
and were translated into seven
languages for rebroadcast to the
world.
A young girl graduate was
weeping when he completed his
address.
“I wonder,’’ she sobbed, “what
is going to happen to our genera
tion.”
Mr. Roosevelt gave assurance
that during the International
crisis, there will be no abandon
ment of efforts “to make democ
racy work within our borders.”
To this end, he Insisted, there
must be wider improvement “in
our social and economic life.”
Mr. Roosevelt struck with
equal fury at American isolation-
Uts and the totalitarian rulers.
The isolationists, he said, dream
of the United States as a lone is
land in a world dominated by
force.
“Such a dream represents to
me and to the overwhelming ma
jority of Americans today a help
less nightmare of a people with
out freedom,” he declared, "a
people lodged in prison, handcuff
ed, hungry and fed through the
bars from day to day by the con
temptuous, unpltying masters of
other continents.”
He praised the “magnificent
valor” with which the Allies are
fighting aggressors and was em
phatic about the future course of
the United States.
“Let us not hesitate—all of us
—to proclaim certain truths,” he
said. “Overwhelmingly we, as a
nation, and this applies to all
the other American nations, are
convinced that military and naval
victory for the gods of force and
hate would endanger the institu
tions of democracy in the western
world—and that equally, there
fore, the whole of our sympathies
lie with those nation*; which are
giving their life blood In combat
against these forces.
“In our American unity, we
will pursue two obvious and sim
ultaneous courses; we will extend
to the opponents of force the
material resourcee of this nation
and, at the same time, we will
harness and speed up the use of
those resources in order that we
ourselves in the Americas may
have equipment and training equ
al to the task of any emergency
and every defense.”
