FDR: “Our Government believes that freedom from cruelty and inhuman treatment is a natural right.”

It will recommend agricultural policies and advise Nations on their food and agricultural problems, but it will have no power to coerce or command.

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.

We all know that the reduction of Government-created barriers to trade will not solve all our trade problems.

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