FDR: “To facilitate the maintenance and betterment of the American standard of living.”

As their Commander in Chief I call upon you, my fellow Americans, to oversubscribe the 1945 Red Cross War Fund.

The point in history at which we stand is full of promise and of danger.

That such a body would be best able to perform its nationally important tasks if created independently of the War Labor Board by the President.

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