FDR

3 This act protected the United States from German attacks. Roosevelt said in his fireside chat, "It is now clear that Hitler has begun his campaign to control the seas by ruthless force and by wiping out every vestige of international law and humanity. His intention has been made clear. The American people can have no further illusions about it The sole responsibility rests upon Germany. There will be no shooting unless Germany continues to seek it." This is an informed decision which is justifiable on Roosevelt's part because it protected the American people. In addition, he did not look to create a shooting war; all he wanted to do was protect the American people.4.
             Foreign affairs also aided in protecting the welfare of people. A policy created by Roosevelt was the Lend-Lease Act which was created in 1941. This act was drawn up to offset the exhaustion of British credits for the purchase of war supplies. This measure was passed by both Senate and the House. It allowed any country whose defense was deemed vital by President Roosevelt to receive arms and other supplies by sale, transfer, exchange or lease during the course of the war. The total lend lease aid during the war amounted to approximately 50,226,845,387.5 In addition, on March 15, President Roosevelt promised an increase in the amount of aid to the Allies for a total victory. This act was both intelligent as well as morally correct. It aided the allies with weapons and other equipment necessary in defeating the enemies without entering the war. This was a witty move made by Roosevelt since it aided the allies specifically Britain, but did not make the United States enter the war. Also, Roosevelt created this act to protect the public and maintain its state of neutrality.6 The Act of Chapultepec was created in 1945 as a regional security agreement binding for the duration of the war. This act was created at the Inter-American Conference of Problems of War and Peace.
