War

We are humbly aware that only through divine guidance can we hope to attain the understanding necessary for averting wars and achieving a peaceful world.

President Truman emphasized the past record of interdependence of the two countries, in times of peace and war.

I felt it my duty to bring to your attention that the expenditures that are being made for peace are in the hope that we won't have to make a war expenditure, and that they have to be made unless we want to begin to prepare for war.

Your contribution in devising means and furnishing provisions for the relief of hunger and want in countries devastated by the war has been of highest importance.

We must be prepared to pay the price for peace, or assuredly we shall pay the price of war.

It is useless to win battles if the cause for which we fight these battles is lost.

The Nation must have more money to run the war.

Battles cannot be fought and won without cost—we know that—and the cost may be heavy in ships and in men.

Without this work of conditioning, flesh and blood could not possibly meet the demands of this modern war.

The Secretary of War is authorized and directed immediately to take possession of and operate the plant of the S.A. Woods Machine Company located at South Boston, Massachusetts.

This Order shall remain in force during the continuance of the present war and for six months after the termination thereof, unless revoked by Presidential order.

The Board is hereby authorized and empowered to control, in the interest of the furtherance of the war purpose, all solicitations, sales of, or offers to sell merchandise or services.

Oh, no. This is the principal domestic problem in carrying on the war.

It is hereby ordered that Executive Order No. 325A of May 18, 1905, be, and the same is hereby, suspended for the period of the war and for six months thereafter

I hereby suspend, effective July 1, 1942, compliance with the provisions of the said sections during the continuance of any of the wars in which the United States is now engaged.

The Committee on War Information Policy shall formulate basic policies and plans on war information.

Consistent with the war information policies of the President and with the foreign policy of the United States.

I want to congratulate you on a very necessary part of the war, on doing a task with true efficiency.
