If we move decisively, our factories and farms can increase their sales to their richest, fastest-growing market.
Our instrument and our hope is the United Nations--and I see little merit in the impatience of those who would abandon this imperfect world instrument because they dislike our imperfect world.
This Nation is the world's foremost manufacturer, farmer, banker, consumer, and exporter.
