I hope that you are also twice as happy as you were in 1932.

I am convinced that by the cooperation of the Federal Government and the State Government and the local government, we are going to make this whole country out through here a much safer place in which to live in the course of the next…

The spirit that animated those voyagers four centuries ago is not alien to these Western plains and mountains.

I do proclaim that all lands of the United States within the following-described areas are included in and reserved as a part of the Ouachita National Forest.

We do not pretend to be infallible in our efforts- but we are at least trying.

I am very happy about people all over the country having more wherewithal with which to travel and see their own country.

I have been trying to keep in personal touch with the Nation.

I feel very certain that that statute, together with the Social Security Act, is going to do much good for the people of this country in the years to come.

We have shown our determination in the past by action.

If we had had more irrigation, more reservoirs, in the past, fewer cattle and sheep would have been threatened with starvation on the range during the drought years.

Whenever there are great fluctuations in prices, the only seller who really ever makes money is the speculator.

I have a tremendous interest in all of the plans for the whole watershed of the Arkansas.

The dream itself covers all the important watersheds of the States.

I am confident that when I come back here again during the next four years I shall find things much better than they are today.

It is fine that this Nation is setting an example for peace in the world.

We are beginning to appreciate more deeply that we talk the same language and have the same point of view about life.

I think we are making strides in the sense that we are setting an example for other Nations in the way of peace.

While we shall have droughts again, their effects, in the future, will not be so serious as they have been this year.

If all of us had the proper kind of diet in the United States, we would have to put 40,000,000 acres more land into the production of foodstuffs.
