events which culminated in war between Germany and the United States. The complete destruction of
democracy, the persecution of laws, the war on religion, the cruelty and barbarism of the Nazis and
especially, the plans of Germany and her allies, Italy and Japan, for world conquest caused great
indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war. While speaking out against Hitler's
atrocities, the American profile generally favored isolationist policies, and neutrality. The neutrality acts
of
1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any belligerents or loans to them. In 1937 the president was
American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt's quarantine the aggressor
speech at Chicago (1937) in which he severely criticized Hitler's policies. Germany's seizure of Austria
and Munich pact for the partition of Czechoslovakia (1938) also around the American people. The
conquest of Czechoslovakia in March 1939 was another rude awakening to the menace of the third
Reich. In August, 1939, came the shock of the Nazi - Soviet pact and in September the attack on Poland
and the outbreak of European war. The United States attempt to maintain neutrality in spite of sympathy
for the democracies arranged against the Third Reich. The Neutrality act of 1939 repeated the arms
embargo and permitted 'cash' and 'carry' exports of arms to belligerent nations. A strong national defense
program was begun. A draft act was passed (1940) to strengthen the military services. A Lend - Lease
Act (1940) authorized the president to sell, exchange or lend materials to any county deemed necessary
by him for the defense of the United States. Help was given to Britain territory in the western
Hemisphere.
In August 1941, President Roosevelt and prime minister Churchill met and issued the Atlantic Charter
which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established after the war. In December 1941, Japan

The first step is for us to realize that a city need not be a frustrater of life; it can be among other things, a
mechanism for enhancing life, for producing possibilities of living which are not to be realized except
through cities. But, for that to happen, deliberate and drastic planning is needed. Towns as much as
animals, must have their systems of organs-those for transport and circulation are an obvious example.
What we need now are organ systems for recreation, leisure, culture, community expression. This means
abundance of open space, easy access to unspoilt Nature, beauty in parks and in fine buildings,
gymnasia and swimming baths and recreation grounds in plenty, central spaces for celebrations and
demonstrations, halls for citizens' meetings, concert halls and theatres and cinemas that belong to the
city. And the buildings must not be built anyhow or dumped down anywhere; both they and their

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the
passage:
One of the most dangerous drugs for pregnant women to consume is alcohol. Because alcohol is
delivered quickly into the blood and passes quickly into the tissues and membranes, the human fetus is
particularly vulnerable to its effects. In fact, the negative effects on a fetus are so pronounced that babies
born after exposure to alcohol are said to be suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome. As a pregnant woman
drinks alcohol, the alcohol is passed into her her bloodstream almost simultaneously. Moreover, because
the bloodstream of the fetus is inextricably tied to that of the mother, the alcohol passes directly into the
bloodstream of the fetus as well. And, what is more, the concentration of alcohol in the fetus is exactly the
same as in the mother. For the mother, this concentration is not a problem because her liver can remove
one ounce of alcohol from her system per hour. However, the fetus's liver is not completely developed
(how developed it is depends on its stage of development). The rate at which it is able to eliminate the
alcohol from the blood of the fetus is much slower. Eventually, the alcohol will be returned to the
mother's
system by passing across the placenta, but this process is slow. By the time this takes place, major
neurological damage may have already occurred. Research has shown that as little as one drink of
alcohol can produce significant, irreversible damage to the fetus. Babies born after exposure to alcohol
generally exhibit facial distortion, inability to concentrate, and difficulty in remembering. Simply
speaking,

The enjoyment of physical possession of things would seem to be one of the prerogatives of wealth which
has been little impaired. Presumably nothing has happened to keep the man who can afford them from
enjoying his Rembrandt and his homegrown orchids. But enjoyment of things has always been associated
with the third prerogative of wealth which is the distinct it confers. In a world where nearly everyone was
poor, the distinction was very great. It was the natural consequence of rarity. In England it is widely
agreed, the ducal families are not uniformly superior. There is a roughly normal incidence of intelligence
and stupidity, good taste and bad taste, morality, immorality. But very few people are dukes and
duchesses, although the later have become rather more frequent with modern easing of divorce laws. As
a result, even though they may be intrinsically unexpectional they are regarded with some awe. So it has

of their weights ?
Statements:
(I) B is heavier than T and C and is less heavier than V who is not the heaviest.
From I, we have: B > T, B > C, V > B. Thus, V is heavier than each one of B, T and C. But V is not the

Explanation :
From I, we know that the serials were screened on 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th.
From II, we know that one serial was screened between A and B.
So, A and B were screened first and third, i.e. on 23rd and 25th. But, A was not screened on 25th.
So, A was screened on 23rd and B on 25th. Thus, C was screened on 26th, Friday.

prominent, MP, said that by the middle of this century religion would be very different, that its present
form
would be completely unrecognizable, given the changes brought about by an emerging information
society. "Religion as we know it will not be the same in 50 years. There has been a rapid democratization
of the world. The world is a much smaller place. The pronouncements of religions can therefore not
remain the same," he said. More importantly, he maintained that some notions central to religion would
not survive the future: "You have to stay with the times or you'll be left behind."
One wonders, if he had also been sitting in the audience listening to himself would his jaw have dropped‘?
For if there's one thing we all know that doesn't change, it's religion. Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, etc,
have lived comfortably through many technological and other intellectual upheavals in the past such as
the Renaissance, printing and the industrial revolution, for instance, and have emerged even more
stubborn and ossified if anything afterwards. Sure, peripheral elements change —heretics are no longer
burned at the stake, sati is outlawed — but "notions central to religion" not surviving, say, the Internet, is
laughable.
That's because the central notion of all religions, concepts that are cold welded to the first few pages of
any scripture, is that there is a God who is the creator of all things including us, that we have a duty to
love and worship Him and that He stands for everything which is good. These things have so far reliably
On the other hand, consider Parsis. More and more members of these modern day descendants of
migrants who fled persecution in Iran more than 1,000 years ago, are turning to new technology to keep
their ancient Zoroastrian religion alive and kicking. "Websites, blogs, on line directories and match
making
portals are being used by the close knit but scattered and shrinking community to stay in touch and true
to
the 3,500 year old faith," reports AFP. In fact, they're doing exactly the opposite of what our prominent

fears: they're staying with the times for fear of being left behind. It's what all religions have always done

D. 19000
Explanation :
The number of candidates qualified in 1999 = (80% of 26500) = 21200. Therefore Number of candidates
qualified in 2000 = (33500 - 21200) = 12300. Let the number of candidates appeared in 2000 be x.
Then, 60% of x = 12300.
=> x=(12300x100)/60=20500.
If the total number of candidates appeared in 1996 and 1997 together was 47400, then the total number
The total number of candidates qualified in 1996 and 1997 together, cannot be determined until we know
at least, the number of candidates appeared in any one of the two years 1996 or 1997 or the percentage

administrative authority exercising quasi-judicial functions achieves his object by excluding changes of
arbitrariness and ensuring a degree of fairness in the process of decision making. Keeping in view the
expanding horizon of the principle of natural justice which govern exercise of power by administrative
authorities. The rules of natural justice are not embodied rules. The extent of their application depends

is another force that compels citizens to obey the laws and to act with due regard to the rights of others.
The force also protects the lives and the properties of law abiding men. Laws are made to secure the
personal safety of its subjects and to prevent murder and crimes of violence. They are made to secure the
property of the citizens against theft and damage to protect the rights of communities and castes to carry
out their customs and ceremonies, so long as they do not conflict with the rights of others. Now the good
citizen, of his own free will obey these laws and he takes care that everything he does is done
with due regard to the rights and well-being of others. But the bad citizen is only restrained from
breaking these laws by fear of the consequence of his actions. And the necessary steps to compel the

What are the good parts of our civilization ? First and foremost there are order and safety. If today I have
a quarrel with another man, I do not get beaten merely because I am physically weaker and he can kick
me down. I go to law, and the law will decide as fairly as it can between the two of us. Thus in disputes
between man and man right has taken the place of might. Moreover, the law protects me from robbery
and violence. Nobody may come and break into my house, steal my goods or run off with my children. Of
course, there are burglars, but they are very rare, and the law punishes them whenever it catches them.
It is difficult for us to realize how much this safety means. Without safety these higher acti-vities of
mankind which make up civilization could not go on. The inventor could not invent, the scientist find out
or
the artist make beautiful things. Hence, order and safety, although they are not themselves civilization are
things without which civilization would be impossible. They are as necessary to our civilization as the air
we breathe is to us; and we have grown so used to them that we do not notice them any more than we
Another great achievement of our civilization is that today civilized men are largely free from the fear of
pain. They still fall ill, but illness is no longer the terrible thing it used to be.... Not only do men and women
enjoy better health; they live longer than they ever did before, and they have a much better chance of
growing up.... Thirdly, our civilization is more secure than any that have gone before it. This is because it
is much more widely spread.... Previous civilizations were specialized and limited, they were like oases in
a desert.

Paragraph/Instructions
A fundamental principle of pharmacology is that all drugs have multiple actions. Actions that are
desirable
in the treatment of disease are considered therapeutic, while those that are undesirable or pose risks to
the patient are called "effects." Adverse drug effects range from the trivial, e.g., nausea or dry mouth, to
the serious, e.g., massive gastrointestinal bleeding or thromboembolism; and some drugs can be lethal.
Therefore, an effective system for the detection of adverse drug effects is an important component of the
health care system of any advanced nation. Much of the research conducted on new drugs aims at
identifying the conditions of use that maximize beneficial effects and minimize the risk of adverse effects.
The intent of drug labeling is to reflect this body of knowledge accurately so that physicians can properly
prescribe the drug; or, if it is to be sold without prescription, so that consumers can properly use the
drug.
The current system of drug investigation in the United States has proved very useful and accurate in
identifying the common side effects associated with new prescription drugs. By the time a new drug is
approved by the Food and Drug Administration, its side effects are usually well described in the package
insert for physicians. The investigational process, however, cannot be counted on to detect all adverse
effects because of the relatively small number of patients involved in premarketing studies and the
Animal toxicology studies are, of course, done prior to marketing in an attempt to identify any potential
for
toxicity, but negative results do not guarantee the safety of a drug in humans, as evidenced by such well
This recognition prompted the establishment in many countries of programs to which physicians report
adverse drug effects. The United States and other countries also send reports to an international program
operated by the World Health Organization. These programs, however, are voluntary reporting programs
and are intended to serve a limited goal: alerting a government or private agency to adverse drug effects
detected by physicians in the course of practice. Other approaches must be used to confirm suspected
drug reactions and to estimate incidence rates. These other approaches include conducting retrospective
control studies; for example, the studies associating endometrial cancer with estrogen use, and
systematic monitoring of hospitalized patients to determine the incidence of acute common side effects,
Thus, the overall drug surveillance system of the United States is composed of a set of information bases,
special studies, and monitoring programs, each contributing in its own way to our knowledge about
marketed drugs. The system is decentralized among a number of governmental units and is not
administered as a coordinated function. Still, it would be inappropriate at this time to attempt to unite all
of
the disparate elements into a comprehensive surveillance program. Instead, the challenge is to improve
each segment of the system and to take advantage of new computer strategies to improve coordination
and communication.

Two old friends, Jack and Bill, meet after a long time.
Bill: Not bad, got married and I have three kids now
Bill: The product of their ages is 72 and the sum of their ages is the same as your birth date.
A. 3,3and8. B. 3,4and6.
C. 6,2and6. D. 1,9and8
Explanation :
The product of their ages is 72. So what are the possible choices?
2, 2, 18 – sum(2, 2, 18) = 22
2, 4, 9 – sum(2, 4, 9) = 15
2, 6, 6 – sum(2, 6, 6) = 14
2, 3, 12 – sum(2, 3, 12) = 17
3, 4, 6 – sum(3, 4, 6) = 13
3, 3, 8 – sum(3, 3, 8 ) = 14
1, 8, 9 – sum(1,8,9) = 18
1, 3, 24 – sum(1, 3, 24) = 28
1, 4, 18 – sum(1, 4, 18) = 23
1, 2, 36 – sum(1, 2, 36) = 39
1, 6, 12 – sum(1, 6, 12) = 19
The sum of their ages is the same as your birth date. That could be anything from 1 to 31 but the fact that
Jack was unable to find out the ages, it means there are two or more combinations with the same sum.
From the choices above, only two of them are possible now.
2, 6, 6 – sum(2, 6, 6) = 14.
3, 3, 8 – sum(3, 3, 8 ) = 14.
Since, the eldest kid is taking piano lessons, we can eliminate combination 1 since there are two eldest

Analogy:
A Close look at the facts relating to political interference in administration shows that it is not a one-way
process. There is often a nexus between power hungry and corrupt politicians and civil servants with
convenient principles. Many civil servants are only too anxious to oblige the politicians, and then cash the
obligation when they need some special favour. So the attitude of self-righteousness adopted by the civil
service is sometimes only a way of covering their own flaws by blaming others.
Every now and then some retired civil servants come out with his memoirs, painting a glorious picture of
the heights of administrative efficiency reached during his reign. There is often the suggestion that had
there not been so much political interference, things would have been even more fantastic. It is not
unusual for the self styled hero to blame not only interfering politicians but also fellow civil servants who
are idiots or crooks, for his failures. This attitude of smug self-satisfaction is, unfortunately, developed
during the years of service. Self preservation rather than service is encouraged by our whole system of
The remedy has to be drastic and quickly effective. The over protection now granted to civil servants
must
end. Today to remove an erring civil servant is just not possible. And the only thing that the highest
authority in the Government, both in the State and at the Centre, can do is to transfer an official from one
job to another. The rules for taking disciplinary action are so complicated that, in the end, the defaulting
civil servants gets away, and gets his full emoluments even for the period of the disciplinary proceedings,
The result is that the administration has become rule-oriented and not result-oriented. Action is possible
against the official who takes some interest in his work, but no action is ever taken against a person who
does not deliver the goods. If the country is to adopt a result-oriented approach, it is necessary to link job

The strength of the electronics industry in Japan is the Japanese ability to organize production and

marketing and development many years ago, and their success was at first either not understood in the

Paragraph/Instructions
The first step is for us to realize that a city need not be a frustrator of life; it can be among other things, a
mechanism for enhancing life, for producing possibilities of living which are not to be realized except
through cities. But, for that to happen, deliberate and drastic planning is needed. Towns as much as
animals, must have their systems of organs-those for transport and circulation are an obvious example.
What we need now are organ systems for recreation, leisure, culture, community expression. This means
abundance of open space, easy access to unspoiled Nature, beauty in parks and in fine buildings,
gymnasium and swimming baths and recreation grounds in plenty, central spaces for celebrations and
demonstrations, halls for citizens' meetings, concert halls and theaters and cinemas that belong to the
city. And the buildings must not be built anyhow or dumped down anywhere; both they and their

Questions(16-20) -Read the paragraph and answer the questions that follows
Nationalism, of course, is a curious phenomenon which at a certain stage in a country's history gives life,
growth and unity but, at the same time, it has a tendency to limit one, because one thinks of one's country
as something diferent from the rest of world. One's perceptive changes and one is continuously thinking
of one's own struggles and virtues and failing to the exclusion of other thoughts. The result is that the
same nationalism which is the symbol of growth for a people becomes a symbol of the cessation of that
growth in mind. Nationalism, when it becomes successful sometimes goes on spreading in an aggressive
way and becomes a danger internationally. Whatever line of thought you follow, you arrive at the
conclusion that some kind of balance must be found. Otherwise something that was good can turn into
evil. Culture, which is essentially good become not only static but aggressive and something that breeds
confict and hatred when looked at from a wrong point of view. How are you fnd a balance, I don't know.
Apart from the political and economic problems of the age , perhaps, that is the greatest problem today
because behind it there is tremendous search for something which it cannot found. We turn to economic
theories because they have an undoubted importance. It is folly to talk of culture or even of god. When
human beings starve and die. Before one can talk about anything else one must provide the normal
essentials of life to human beings. That is where economies comes in. Human beings today are not in
mood to tolerate this sufering and starvation and inequality when they see that the burden is not equally
shared. Others proft while they only bear the burden.

Practice CTS fully solved sample placement papers with answers and explanation
"I want to criticize the social system, and to show it at work, at its most intense." Virginia Woolf's
provocative statement about her intentions in writing Mrs. Dalloway has regularly been ignored by the
critics, since it highlights an aspect of her literary interests very diferent from the traditional picture of
the "poetic" novelist concerned with examining states of reverie and vision and with following the
intricate pathways of individual consciousness. But Virginia Woolf was are ballistic as well as a poetic
novelist satirist and social critic as well as a visionary: literary critics' cavalier dismissal of Woolf's social
vision will not withstand scrutiny. In her novels, Woolf is deeply engaged by the questions of how
individuals are shaped (or deformed) by their social Environments, how historical forces impinge on
people's lives, how class, wealth, and gender help to determine people's fates. Most of her novels are
rooted in a realistically rendered social setting and in a precise historical time. Woolf's focus on society
has not been generally recognized because of her intense antipathy to propaganda in art. The pictures of
reformers in her novels are usually satiric or sharply critical. Even when Woolf is fundamentally
sympathetic to their causes, she portray people anxious to reform their society and possessed of a
message or program as arrogant or dishonest, unaware of how their political ideas serve their own
psychological needs own psychological needs. (Her Writer's Diary notes: "the only honest people are the
artists," whereas "these social reformers and philanthropists...harbor...discreditable desires under the
disguise of loving their kind....") Woolf detested what she called "preaching" in fction ,too, and criticized
novelist D.H.Lawrence (among others) for working by this method. Woolf's own social criticism is
expressed in the language of observation rather than in direct commentary, since for her, fction is a
contemplative, not an active art. She describes phenomena and provides materials for a judgment about
society and social issueso it is the reader's work to put the observation together and understand the
coherent point of view behind them. As a moralist, Woolf works by indirection, subtly undermining
ofcially accepted mores, mocking, suggesting, calling into question, rather than asserting, advocating,
bearing witness: hers is the satirist's art .Woolf's literary models were acute social observers like
Checkhov and Chaucer. As she put it in The Common Reader. "It is safe to say that not a single law has
been framed or one stone set upon another because of anything Chaucer said or wroteo and yet, as we
read him, we are absorbing morality at every pore." Like Chaucer, Woolf chose to understand as well as to
judge, to know her society root and branch-decision crucial in order to produce art rather than polemic.

criticize contemporary society

social setting in the majority of her novels was that she?

Below are the few important grammatical rules which may be required to review to solve
1. Possessive case
Possessive case is generally used with living things e.g. the governor’s bodyguard. But is also used with
personifed objects:
e.g. India’
1) –
s heroes, nature’
2. Comparison of adjectives:
s law etc.
Adjectives ending in
e.g.
2) In comparing two things or classes of things the comparative should be usedo as, Of Mumbai and
Madras the former is wealthier.
Note: later and latest refer to time, latter and last refer to position. Elder and eldest are used only of
person, not of animals or thing. Older and oldest are used of both persons and things.
3. Personal pronouns
There is a general construction e.g. You and I have done our duty. You and hari have idled
i.e the construction is- “you and I” not “I and you” ,”you and he” not “he and you” ,”he and I” not “I and he”
mind it.
4. Mood
Subjunctive mood:
a. past subjunctive is used
1) After the verb wish to indicate a situation which is unreal or contrary to fact: as,
m sorry I don’ t know his name.) She wishes the car belonged to
If I were you I should not do that (but I am not you, and never can be) If we started now we
t start now)
He orders me as if I were his wife (but I am not). He walks as though he were drunk (but he
is not).
5. Tense
This is a very vital part in grammar & also for apti.
6. Agreement of the verb with the subject
1) If the singular subjects are preceded by each and every the verb usually singular:as’
Every boy and girl was ready. Every man, woman and child was lost.
2) Two or more singular subjects connected by or, nor, either....or, neither...Nor take a verb in the
singular: as,
Either abdul or amir has stolen the watch. Neither rama nor his sister was there.
3) When subjects joined by or,nor are of diferent numbers, the verb must be plural, and the plural subject
must be placed next the verb oas,
4) When the subjects joined by or or nor are of diferent persons,the verb agrees with the nearer o as,
5) Either, neither, each, everyone, many a, must be followed by a singular verbo as,
Each of the substances is found in India. Many a man has done so.
6) Words joined to a singular subject by ‘with’, ‘together with’, ‘in addition to’, or ‘as well as’, etc.,are
parenthetical, and therefore do not afect the number of the verb o as,
The chief, with all his men, was massacred. Rama, as well as hari and govind, likes hot curry.
7. The participle
Hearing the noise, the boy woke up. The word hearing qualifes the noun boy as an adjective
does. It is formed from the verb hear, and governs an object. Participle is called a verbal
adjective.
a. Present participle
We met a girl carrying a basket of fowers. b. Past participle
Driven by hunger, he stole a piece of bread. c. Perfect participle
Having rested, we continued our journey. The wind having failed, the crew set to work with a
will.
1) Since the participle is a verb-adjective it must be attached to some noun or pronoun o in other words it
must always have a proper ‘subject of reference’.
Being a very hot day, I remained at my tent. Entering the room, the light was quite dazzling.
More examples:
the jailor. Breakfast having been over, we went out for a walk.
8. The gerund
Gerund is verb-noun
Few exampleso
being praised. I hope you will excuse my (not me) leaving early. We rejoiced at his (not him)

A sentence construction:
indicates a past obligation that was not fulflled). He should be in the library now. (Expresses
probability).
As a general rule, the word only should be placed immediately before the word it modifeso
11. Preposition
1) Since is used before a noun or phrase denoting some point of time, and is preceded by a verb in the
perfect tenses oas,
I have eaten nothing since yesterday. Ha has been ill since Monday last.
He will join school from tomorrow. I commenced work from 1st January.
3) For is used with a period of timeo as, He has been ill for 5 days.
4) In before a noun denoting a period of time, means at the end ofo within means before the end ofo as,
5) Beside means by the side of, while besides means in addition to.

7) In and at are used in speaking of things at resto to and into are used in speaking of things in motiono
as,
8) On is used in speaking of things at rest, and upon the things in motiono as,

Directions for Questions 51-55: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the
information provided in the passage
One of the most dangerous drugs for pregnant women to consume is alcohol. Because alcohol is delivered
quickly into the blood and passes quickly into the tissues and membranes, the human fetus is particularly
vulnerable to its efects. In fact, the negative efects on a fetus are so pronounced that babies born after
exposure to alcohol are said to be sufering from fetal alcohol syndrome. As a pregnant woman drinks
alcohol, the alcohol is passed into her her bloodstream almost simultaneously. Moreover, because the
bloodstream of the fetus is inextricably tied to that of the mother, the alcohol passes directly into the
bloodstream of the fetus as well. And, what is more, the concentration of alcohol in the fetus is exactly the
same as in the mother. For the mother, this concentration is not a problem because her liver can remove
one ounce of alcohol from her system per hour. However, the fetus's liver is not completely developed
(how developed it is depends on its stage of development). The rate at which it is able to eliminate the
alcohol from the blood of the fetus is much slower. Eventually, the alcohol will be returned to the
mother's system by passing across the placenta, but this process is slow. By the time this takes place,
major neurological damage may have already occurred. Research has shown that as little as one drink of
alcohol can produce signifcant, irreversible damage to the fetus. Babies born after exposure to alcohol
generally exhibit facial distortion, inability to concentrate, and difculty in remembering. Simply speaking,
it is imperative that pregnant women avoid alcohol.
51. How much time can it be inferred that it takes alcohol to enter a woman's bloodstream after she takes
a drink?
52. According to the passage, how does the concentration of alcohol in a fetus compare to that in the
mother?
53. It can be inferred that the development of a fetal liver depends on 1. how many months pregnant the
mother is
2. how much alcohol the mother has consumed
3. how large the fetus is
Answer: A
54. According to the passage, how is alcohol fnally returned to the mother's system?
1. it is carried through the bloodstream 2. it is transferred across the placenta 3. it is expelled by the
fetus's liver
4. it is not completely returned
Ans: B
55. Which one of the following was NOT mentioned as a sign of fetal alcohol syndrome?
Ans: C
Directions for Questions 56-60: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the
information provided in the passage.
The establishment of the third Reich infuenced events in American history by starting a chain of events
which culminated in war between Germany and the United States. The complete destruction of
democracy, the persecution of laws, the war on religion, the cruelty and barrbarism of the Nazis and
especially, the plans of Germany and her allies, Italy and Japan, for world conquest caused great
indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war. While speaking out against Hitler's
atrocities, the American profle generally favored isolationist policies, and neutrality. The neutrality acts of
1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any belligerents or loans to them. In 1937 the president was
empowered to declare an arms embargo in wars between nations at his discretion
American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt's quarantine the aggressor
speech at Chicago (1937) in which he severely criticized Hitler's policies. Germany's seizure of Austria
and Munich pact for the partition of Czechoslovakia (1938) also around the American people. The
conquest of Czechoslovakia in March 1939 was another rude awakening to the menace of the third Reich.
In August, 1939, came the shock of the Nazi - Soviet pact and in September the attack on Poland and the
outbreak of European war. The United States attempt to maintain neutrality in spite of sympathy for the
democracies arranged against the Third Reich. The Neutrality act of 1939 repeated the arms embargo and
permitted 'cash' and 'carry' exports of arms to belligerent nations. A strong national defense program was
begun. A draft act was passed (1940) to strengthen the military services. A Lend - Lease Act (1940)
authorized the president to sell, exchange or lend materials to any county deemed necessary by him for
the defense of the United States. Help was given to Britain territory in the western Hemisphere. In August
1941, President Roosevelt and prime minister Churchill met and issued the Atlantic Charter which
proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established after the war. In December 1941, Japan
launched the unprovoked attack on the United States at Pearl harbor, immediately thereafter Germany
declared war on the united states.
