‎With War Looming in Europe in 1939 President Franklin D. Roosevelt Will Personally Witness U.S. Naval War Readiness Exercises‎

‎24/01/1939. <blockquote><p>“I am off I hope in February for somewhere to the eastward of Barbados - Fleet Problem no. XX. You will not read much about it in the paper but I will tell you about it on your way north.â€</p></blockquote><p>President Roosevelt was appalled by the dictators in Europe and Asia and by the appeasement of them. He saw before most that war was coming and that the United States would be drawn into it. He wanted the U.S. military to be strong and ready believing that “We must and will marshal our great potential strength to fend off war from our shores.â€</p><p>“Fleet Problem†was the term used by the U.S. Navy to describe 21 large-scale naval war-readiness exercises conducted between 1923 and 1940. The nation’s leadership used these exercises to understand exploit and incorporate new technologies and capabilities while developing tactics training and procedures to employ should war present itself. Conducted in all the major waters adjacent to the U.S. these Fleet Problems covered the gamut of naval warfare from convoy duty strike warfare and sea control. Most important perhaps was that this was the laboratory that tested the emerging idea of putting aircraft at sea on board aircraft carriers.</p><p>As war loomed imminently in Europe in 1939 Fleet Problem No. XX took place in February in the Caribbean and Atlantic. It was personally witnessed at sea by President Roosevelt from the battleship USS Pennsylvania. From the time he had served as Secretary of the Navy from 1913-1920 FDR took a lively interest in all matters pertaining to the Navy. This 1939 exercise simulated the defense of the east coast of the United States and Latin America by the Black team from the invading White team. Participating in the maneuvers were 134 ships 600 planes and over 52000 officers and men. Both commanders managed their air forces well each concentrating his efforts at destroying his enemy’s air power before going after his battle fleet. Each had made carriers the center piece of independent task forces a decision that would prove wise in the war just two years ahead.</p><p>Commander George C. Sweet was a U.S. Navy officer significant in promoting the early use of aircraft by the Navy. In September 1908 then-Lieutenant Sweet serving as a Naval observer reported favorably on the Wright Brothers airplane demonstration at Fort Meyer near Washington D.C. In 1909 Sweet was taken up with the Wright Brothers first Army flyer becoming the first Navy officer to travel in an airplane. Sweet was then assigned to the Navy’s school for airplane instruction and was thereafter a Navy engineer in Washington specializing in steam engines. In early 1919 Sweet was named assistant to the Naval Attache at the American embassy in Paris a particularly plum posting as the peace conference to end World War I was being carried on in Versailles.</p><p>Franklin D. Roosevelt followed in his cousin’s footsteps to fame by serving as Assistant Secretary of the Navy from 1913-1920. He was a prime advocate of naval aviation and against strong opposition is credited with preserving the Navy’s air arm from demobilization after World War I. He surely met Sweet in his capacity of promoting naval aviation. Roosevelt was called to Paris to join President Wilson at the Versailles Conference in January 1919. According to the Sweet descendants FDR and Commander Sweet forged a friendship onboard ship clearly indicating that the two men were passengers on the USS George Washington together in 1919 though whether on the sailing in January or return in July or both is not known.</p><p>Roosevelt was a careful man aware that his statements must be made guardedly to avoid giving aid and opportunity to his political enemies. His public correspondence was generally drafted by aides and was measured serious deliberate and discreet. However the private FDR was outgoing humorous and frank the life of the party and when he corresponded with those he could trust this side could show through. Sweet was such a man.  We recently obtained this letter directly from the Sweet descendants.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> on White House letterhead Washington January 24 1939 to Sweet saying he is leaving for the Fleet Problem. <em>“Many thanks for the information about my ex-boat. After she came up all standing in the middle of the pine forest I sold her to somebody who was going to use her as a bungalow dance hall saloon or some similar purpose and I am sorry to know that she has gone up in smoke. Glad your medico has made interesting discoveries about your anatomy and that your cough has been cured by the application of corn plasters to your toe -  or some such treatment! I am off I hope in February for somewhere to the eastward of Barbados - Fleet Problem no. XX. You will not read much about it in the paper but I will tell you about it on your way north.â€</em> The original White House envelope is still present.</p><p>Interestingly FDR explicitly states that he will discuss the results of the top secret exercise with Sweet. Also noteworthy is the fact that the battleship Pennsylvania on which Roosevelt viewed Fleet Problem XX was at Pearl Harbor on December 7 1941 the day that FDR famously said would live in infamy. She was strafed and had crew killed but the Japanese failed to sink her.</p><p>This historic letter appears to be unpublished as we can find no mention of it. It remained in the hands of the Sweet descendants until now and has never before been offered for sale.</p> unknown‎

As Secretary of War Woodring continued Dern's recommendations for increasing the strength of the Regular Army the National Guard and the Reserve Corps. However Woodring was also a strict non-interventionist which put him increasingly at odds with Roosevelt's cabinet. They placed increasing pressure on Woodring to resign and on Roosevelt to fire him. Instead Roosevelt appointed interventionist Louis A. Johnson as Assistant Secretary of War. Woodring and Johnson immediately clashed and came to the point where they no longer spoke to each other. On June 20 1940 Roosevelt fired Woodring and replaced him with Republican Henry Stimson who had been William Howard Taft's Secretary of War and Herbert Hoover's Secretary of State.</p><p>Although Roosevelt appointed Woodring to succeed Dern as Acting Secretary of War in the fall of 1936 he did not officially nominate him until April 27 1937. The Senate confirmed the appointment on May 6 1937. Roosevelt issued this formal appointment as Secretary of War to Woodring the following day.</p><p><b>Harry Hines Woodring</b> 1887-1967 was born in Kansas the son of a farmer and Union Army soldier.

‎President Roosevelt Praises The Merchant Marines And New Ships For The War Effort In A World War Ii-Dated Letter: “The Necessity Of Maintaining An Adequate Merchant Marine…The Economic Value To The Nation Of Using Such Merchant Marine Fleet To Help Expand Our Commercial Intercourse With Other Nationsâ€‎

‎FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT 1882-1945. Roosevelt was the Thirty-Second President. TLS. 1pg. September 9 1944. Washington. A typed letter signed “Franklin D. Roosevelt†as President. Using “The White House Washington†letterhead Roosevelt wrote to Arthur M. Tode Honorary President of the Propeller Club of the United States an organization for maritime professionals. The letter concerns the Merchant Marines the use of their ships in economic activities and the Propeller Club’s efforts. “Dear Mr. Tode: The great expenditure of manpower and materials during the past three years in building a large number of vessels as an auxiliary to our Navy and to carry the needed supplies for the United Nations’ war effort should I believe have made clear to all Americans the necessity of maintaining an adequate merchant marine for this purpose. There is not however such a clear understanding of the economic value to the nation of using such merchant marine fleet to help expand our commercial intercourse with other nations and to carry our domestic water-borne commerce. The patriotic efforts of the Propeller Club of the United States in striving to educate the public on this point are most commendable. The coming annual American Merchant Marine Conference should furnish the marine industry with an opportunity to formulate and put into effect plans which will enable the industry to be of far greater service to the nation than ever before. It should do so. Very sincerely yours Franklin D. Rooseveltâ€. The letter has been professionally restored to remove a backing and it is encapsulated. It is accompanied by a Harry Truman facsimile letter distributed to attendees of the Propellor Club meeting.

‎<p><b>FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT.</b>Typed Letter Signed as President to Frederic A. Delano. Washington D.C. August 25 1942 1 p. 7 x 9 in. On White House stationery. </p><b>Complete Transcript</b><p><i>Dear Uncle Fred:- Many thanks for sending me that clipping about Tom Paine. I too have always had a keen interest in him. His principal mistake lay in his rather violent opposition to Washington in the campaign of 1792</i>. sic 1796.</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Franklin Delano Roosevelt thanks his Uncle Fred his mother's brother for sending an article on Thomas Paine a Revolutionary figure in whom the president had <i>"a keen interest." </i>However FDR was mistaken in his reference to Paine's opposition to Washington in the presidential campaign of 1792. There was no campaign in 1792; Washington ran unopposed and was unanimously reelected. Paine's opposition came in 1796 after two parties had formed: the Federalists and the anti-Federalists the nascent Democratic - Republican party. </p><p>In 1792 Paine and Washington were on good terms as evidenced by a series of correspondence between the two. In 1791 Paine dedicated the first part of his "<i>Rights of Man</i>" to Washington and President Washington wrote Paine on May 6 1792 "<i>My thanks for the token of your remembrance in the 50 copies of 'Rights of Man' … I rejoice in the information of your personal prosperity</i>…"</p><p>While in Paris in 1793 Paine a naturalized American citizen since 1774 was arrested and imprisoned. On Sept. 20 1795 Paine wrote Washington hoping that the president could affect his release. "<i>After you were informed of my imprisonment in France it was incumbent on you to have made some enquiry into the cause."</i> Paine concluded.<i>"I cannot understand your silence upon this subject.I shall continue to think you treacherous till you give me cause to think otherwise</i>." During the campaign of 1796 Paine again wrote Washington on July 30 1796 "<i>I also declare myself opposed to almost the whole of your administration; for I know it to have been deceitful if not perfidious.</i>" Paine then published his letter cementing the acrimony between him and Washington and by extension John Adams the Federalist candidate in 1796.</p> books‎
