Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"The attention of all agencies of the Federal Government, and of all State and municipal authorities, concerned with the rates of common carriers is directed to the stabilization program."

"There are to be no further increases in wage rates or salary scales beyond the Little Steel formula."

"The Order directs the reduction of all prices which are excessively high, inequitable, or unfair."

"I cannot permit a continuance of the upward-spiral of prices."
