United States Senate
Washington
July 3, 1940.
My Dear Mother:
I will broadcast from the Worlds
Fair tomorrow. This will be an
important 4th of July for the
country, because it comes
when independence is again
in imminent peril. I suppose
that my audience will be a
large one. The network is
sponsored by Mutual Broad-
casting Co. and covers the
United States. My subject
will be Revitalizing the Declaration
of Independence in 1940.
I shall advocate for our
foreign policy independence
thro' not isolation or intervention.
I shall support the policy
of aiding the allies with all
that we can afford short of
war.
I shall promote national
unity, morally, and national
defense in both arms and
men-
This means speeding up the
national industrial plant and
conscripting by a selective
draft the men of all ages
between 18 and 65.
They will not be called for service
now, but classes will be selected
and called for training.
I wired you today to let you
know about the broadcast.
I hope that you are recovering and
gaining strength.
Best love,
Warren
