Description
Summary:In this WSM radio broadcast script, Representative Albert Gore of Tennessee discusses the importance of the Aid-to-Britain Bill in Congress. He recounts Wendell Wilkie`s appearance before the Senate Committee and former presidential candidate`s approval of the bill. According to Gore, Wilkie supported "effective aid" which would allow Great Britain the ability to "keep open the North Atlantic passage as a supply line from this great continent of resources." The representative closes his address by countering Wilkie`s suggestion that the bill limit its assistance to Great Britain, Greece, and China. Gore believes that the United States should be "ready to act when and where necessary for [its] defense." The University of Tennessee Libraries (Knoxville, Tennessee) is the digital publisher.
