"I do not hesitate to say... that it is definitely a part of our policy to increase the rise and to extend it to those products which have as yet felt no benefit."

"It's only fair that I should give credit to the sixty or seventy million people who live in the cities and larger towns of the Nation for their understanding."

"We shall also buy or sell gold in the world market."

"No one who considers the plain facts of our situation believes that commodity prices, especially agricultural prices, are high enough yet."
