"I have advocated unemployment insurance as an essential part of our program to build a more ample and secure life."

"Of course that is not free competition and the thing is not working."

"Obviously, just so long as you have to pay exorbitant real-estate prices in clearing slum properties, you cannot put up any new buildings on a sufficiently sound basis."

"The general principles of H. R. 7659 seem to me sound, and the effect sought a necessary one for recovery and prevention of future economic crises."
