FDR

I am enclosing a copy of a letter to me from Mr. James A. Moffett, the Administrator of the Federal Housing Administration.

It should be a challenge to you to respond to these expectations.

Effective detection of criminals may be rendered useless by ineffective prosecution or by unintelligent judicial disposition.

I want the backing of every man, every woman and every adolescent child in every State of the United States and in every county of every State for what you and the officers of law and order are trying to accomplish.

Crime is a symptom of social disorder.

An unclassified laborer may be reinstated only upon certificate of the Commission and upon requisition made within 1 year from the date of separation.

I hereby appoint Captain Edward MacCauley of California as a member of the said Board.

I hereby appoint O. K. Cushing of California as Chairman of the National Longshoremen's Labor Board.

I have repeatedly stated my feeling that the care of the sick is a local responsibility.

I commend its cause heartily to citizens of New York.

It is ordered that the following-described public land in Arkansas be, and it is hereby, temporarily withdrawn from settlement, location, sale, or entry for classification as to its suitability for wild life refuge purposes.

It is hereby ordered that the present Director of the Bureau of Navigation and Steamboat Inspection may appoint one private secretary without compliance with the requirements of the civil-service rules.

By virtue of and pursuant to the authority vested in me under the Emergency Appropriation Act.

I hope the medical fraternity will allow me to come back and practice here.

We need to do everything we can to spread the knowledge we are gaining at Warm Springs.

This is a sanctuary for people.

It is the earliest settlers who have handed down the story to us that long before the white people came here, Warm Springs was a place where people came to get well.

That tradition, I think, has been rather faithfully carried out right down to the present day.

Government cannot say, 'We are licked.'

That raised the question, 'Are we going to call ourselves licked?'

The Government recognizes as a matter of policy its obligation to those people in the United States whose standards of living are so low that something has to be done about it.

We have four and three-quarter million people on relief.

You are doing something not only for yourselves, but for the rest of the United States.

You are proving something that some of us have believed to be true for a great many years.

You are treating your county as a unit and, in treating it that way, you are giving an opportunity to the people who live on the farm equal with the people who live in the city.
