"Nothing will sap the morale of this Nation more quickly or ruinously than penalizing its sweat and skill and thrift by the individually undeserved and uncontrollable poverty of inflation."
"The choice is ours to make; but we must act speedily."
"Executive Order No. 8798 of June 19, 1941, transferring certain vessels between the Navy Department and the Department of Commerce, is hereby amended."
"We face inflation, unless we act decisively and without delay."
