14)Because there was not a shred of increased American commitment. 15)Because many countries were British colonies.
16) Perplexed looks, lengthening faces, and headshakes. The questions centered on why the U. S. didn' t increase its commitment. Henry' s explanation was that the American people didn't want to fight Hitler. Ⅱ.

\President Roosevelt's opinion for Hitler' s invasion of Soviet Union.
If the United States interfered and declared war on Germany, the serious condition would be lessened. But Roosevelt lacked the support of the Congress and many of the people. Anyway, he did quite a lot in favour of the Soviet Union and Anti-Fascist League. He was going to send a military supply mission to Soviet Union, and he was ready to send a government representative to Moscow.
At that time, the life in America is peaceful and comfortable. People did not want to fight against Hitler nor anybody. And the congressmen tried to avoid any damage and loss of property from the war. Thus the extension of the draft was won just within one vote.
On the other hand, the condition then was profitable to the United States. It benefited from the war through the arms trade and other service trade. The passage of Lend-Lease Act is one indication.
At last America joined the war, that was for the sake of the situation.
