Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"It is right and fitting that Stratford is being made once more a shrine to which the lovers of the history of our land can come from every part of the Nation."

"Notwithstanding the hope we entertained that war would be avoided, we are now compelled to recognize the simple and indisputable fact that Ethiopian and Italian armed forces are engaged in combat."

"I do hereby proclaim that a state of war unhappily exists between Ethiopia and the Kingdom of Italy."

"I desire it to be understood that any of our people who voluntarily engage in transactions of any character with either of the belligerents do so at their own risk."
