FDR: “Attempts at detailed reorganization by the Congress itself have failed many times in the past.”

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

Improved standards of nutrition, increased levels of farm incomes, avoidance of agricultural surpluses—these are among the important objectives that the Food and Agriculture Organization will assist the Nations of the world in achieving.

I recommend that the Congress authorize the acceptance of the Constitution and the participation of the United States in the work of the Food and Agriculture Organization.

The coming victory of the United Nations means that they, and not their enemies, have power to establish the foundations of the future.
