FDR: “You can't eat your cake and have it too.”

By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statutes of the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:

As their Commander in Chief I call upon you, my fellow Americans, to oversubscribe the 1945 Red Cross War Fund.

That the President appoint a commission for these purposes.

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