==Foreign policy==
During 1939 to 1941 Taft was strongly opposed American entry into World War II, while supporting military mobilization and limited aid to Britain. He fully endorsed the [[America FirstCommittee]] Committee, arguing in January 1941 that "Hitler's defeat is not vital to us."<ref>Taft, ''Papers'' 2:218</ref>
After Pearl Harbor (Dec. 1941), however, he completely supported an all-out war against Germany and Japan. The war itself, Taft always argued, was being fought to "make clear that national aggression cannot succeed in this world",<ref>Taft, ''Papers'' 2:443</ref> and not as liberals said to advance the Four Freedoms, the Atlantic Charter, or publisher Henry Luce's "American Century."
