Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"I am confident that this great American undertaking will succeed."

"The Government of the United States possesses no more sincere hope than that the maintenance of peace between the American Republics may be firmly assured."

"I have learned with profound regret of the controversy which has unfortunately arisen between our sister republics of Haiti and the Dominican Republic."

"There is neither logic nor necessity for one-third of our population to have less of the needs of modern life than make for decent living."
