FDR: “the only thing we had to fear was fear itself.”

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.

The logic of events and our clear and pressing national interest must override our old party controversies.

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

This is our chance to serve those who serve us.
