Roosevelt Seeks 275 Million To Enforce Neutrality
President Roosevelt estimated a 275 million dollar deficiency appropriation to maintain and enforce U S neutrality in Europe for the first ten months of the war. The request would come before Congress as part of a larger defense push likely lifting next year’s totals beyond two billion. The money would fund coast patrols, troop training, and reactivating World War II destroyers, with additions toward navy and army expansions and new west coast facilities.
