Cost To America

Rec. noon. WASHINGTON, July 14
I belong to a school of thinkers who regard as imperative the policy of aiding Britain at whatever cost to ourselves, to promote both our present security and future national welfare, , said Colonel Frank Knox, Secretary of the Navy, in an interview, answering some critics who regard him as the leader of a war party.
He added that he did not believe the free, independent, democratic United States could long survive in a Nazi-dominated world. Wherever the pursuit of such a policy might lead he hoped it would not lead America into war, but his opinion was that war of defence against Naziism would be infinitely preferable to peace accomplished by surrender to Hitlerism.
