Mr La Guardia Appeals To America to Assist Her Trusted Friends
NEW YORK, February 19. REDRESSING THE AMERICAN LEGION AT LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK, MR F. LA GUARDIA, ADVOCATED SELLING TO BRITAIN AND FRANCE ALL THE AEROPLANES THEY NEED AND GIVING THEM A DISCOUNT. “Let us make it clear we mean ‘Hands off the Western Hemisphere,’ by an open declaration of our policy that we will pick our own enemies,” said Mr La Guardia! “The onjy way to escape international complications is to get off this earth. The United States was more detached from the European situation 20 years ago than it is today.” Mr La Guardia also advocated the selling of surplus American commodities to countries “who are trusted friends” at a price they can afford to pay. He thought this would swing the balance of trade away from the dictator nations.
