"The success of this effort is of paramount importance, not only for our immediate needs but the possibilities it opens for the future."

"I am convinced we have now passed the worst and with continued unity of effort we shall rapidly recover."

"The details of this estimate, the necessity therefor, and the reasons for its submission at this time are set forth in the letter of the Director of the Bureau of the Budget transmitted herewith."

"We are not yet entirely through the difficulties of our situation."
