President Franklin D. Roosevelt justified the sale of arms to China during the 1937 invasion by invoking the "moral obligation" to support nations resisting aggression, particularly in light of Japan's expansionist actions. He argued that the situation constituted a threat to peace and democracy, warranting an exception to the Neutrality Act. Additionally, Roosevelt emphasized the need to protect American interests and maintain stability in Asia, framing the assistance to China as a defense of global order against totalitarianism.
