Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"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."

"The Government of the United States stands ready to join in extending its friendly services in an effort to further the attainment of a pacific solution of the present controversy."

"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."

"I am appealing to the people of America tonight to help in carrying out a task that is important to them and to their government."
