Let's Be Smart About This
- FDR recommends against the U.S. government giving a loan to other nations so that they can use that money to buy weapons from the United States. (Yeah, it's a bit of a weird idea. Check out "Structure" for an explanation on this point.)
- Instead, he argues that weapons orders from other nations should be incorporated into the production processes of U.S. armament programs.
- This is a good idea if the United States ever needs help from those nations for its own defense against the Axis powers.
