We must also _fight_.
All the ships we can get--build, requisition, or confiscate--are needed immediately.
Navy, army, money, ships--these are the first things, but by no means all.

We must make some expression of a conviction that there is a moral question of right and wrong involved in this war--a question of humanity, a question of democracy.

So far we have (officially) spoken only of the wrongs done to our ships and citizens.

Deep wrongs have been done to all our moral ideas, to our ideals.

We have sunk very low in European opinion because we do not seem to know even yet that a German victory would be less desirable than (say) a Zulu victory of the world.
We must go in with the Allies, not begin a mere single fight against submarines.
