# 'Amerikan bayrağı denizlerden sürülmeyecektir' [The American Flag Will Not Be Driven from the Seas] (The American Flag is not Going to be Driven from the Seas [Azerbaijani])

A photograph of a battleship hull at its launch, with crowds at the water's edge, sits above a Turkish-orthography quotation attributed to President Roosevelt, a US flag and his portrait, inside a blue border of stars. The quotation credited to the president backs the policy (testimonial), the flag and stars add national weight (transfer), and the text cites only US battleship totals (card-stacking).

AMERİKAN BAYRAĞI
DENİZLERDEN SÜRÜLMEYECEKTİR
—REİSİ CÜMHUR RUZVELT

Zayıf veya kuvvetli, herkese denizlerin hür kalmasını ve
denizlerin mütecaviz milletlerin boyunduruğu altına girmeme-
sinin temin için halihazırda dünyanın en kuvvetli donanmasına
malik olan Amerika, deniz kuvvetini bir misli daha arttırmak-
tadır. Resimde denize indirilmekte olan zırhlı, beheri 35,000
tondan fazla 17 yeni zırhlıdan biridir. Bunların adedi 32 ye
baliğ olacaktırki bu dünyada her hangi başka bir devletin zırhlı
adedinin iki mislidir.

THE AMERICAN FLAG WILL NOT BE DRIVEN FROM THE SEAS
—PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

To ensure that the seas remain free for everyone, weak or strong, and do not fall under the yoke of aggressor nations, America, which already has the strongest navy in the world, is increasing its naval power by a further equal amount. The battleship being launched in the picture is one of 17 new battleships of more than 35,000 tons each. Their number will reach 32, which is twice the number of battleships of any other state in the world.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
