FDR: “I think the arsenal of democracy is making good.”

I wish I had the power, just for this evening, to be present at all of these gatherings.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statutes of the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:

I recommend that the Congress authorize the acceptance of the Constitution and the participation of the United States in the work of the Food and Agriculture Organization.

Improved standards of nutrition, increased levels of farm incomes, avoidance of agricultural surpluses—these are among the important objectives that the Food and Agriculture Organization will assist the Nations of the world in achieving.
