President Roosevelt delivers a radio message to American citizens from the White House in Washington DC, USA.

The Congress has enacted a law establishing a selective method of augmenting American Armed Forces. Young men should come from the factories and the fields, the cities and the towns, to enroll their names on the registration day. Everyone should renew within their hearts the conception of liberty. Americans should resolve to hold high the torch of freedom in this darkening world so that our children and their children may not be robbed of their rightful inheritance."
