FDR: “I am confident that your Committee will recommend legislation specifically aimed at making the Federal revenue system…”

The coming total defeat of our enemies, and of the philosophy of conflict and aggression... gives us a new chance and a better chance than we have ever had to bring about conditions under which the Nations of the world substitute…

It will recommend agricultural policies and advise Nations on their food and agricultural problems, but it will have no power to coerce or command.

The logic of events and our clear and pressing national interest must override our old party controversies.

This is our chance to serve those who serve us.
