Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"I am convinced that hundreds of millions throughout the world would recognize your action as an outstanding historic service to all humanity."

"It is, therefore, supremely important that negotiations should continue without interruption until a fair and constructive solution is reached."

"My appeal was solely that negotiations be continued until a peaceful settlement is found, and that thereby a resort to force be avoided."

"Continued negotiations remain the only way by which the immediate problem can be disposed of upon any lasting basis."
