FDR: “Private industry and private trade can, I am sure, produce a high level of international trade.”

I do know it will come, and I do know that tonight there are over seven and a half million Americans overseas or fighting afloat in this great war.

I wish I had the power, just for this evening, to be present at all of these gatherings.

All sections of our population—labor, farmers, businessmen have shared and will share in the benefits which increased trade brings.

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