It is my earnest hope that every American will realize that in buying War Bonds in this Third War Loan he has an opportunity to express voluntarily and under the guidance of his conscience, the extent to which he will 'back the attack.'

Our need for money now is greater than ever, and will continue to grow until the very day that Victory is won; so we must ask far more sacrifice, far more cooperation than ever before.

I hereby invoke every citizen to give all possible aid and support to this Third War Loan drive.

It is hereby ordered that the total number of women enlisted or appointed in the Women's Army Corps shall not exceed two hundred thousand.

Your soldiers have fought not in the interests of Italy but for Nazi Germany.

The sole hope for Italy's survival lies in honorable capitulation to the overwhelming power of the military forces of the United Nations.

The time has come for you, the Italian people, to consult your own self-respect and your own interests and your own desire for a restoration of national dignity, security, and peace.

We have been very anxious to have Rome declared an open city.

I still hope that Rome can be made an open city.

I don't believe in destruction merely for retaliation; it's the wrong basis to put it on.

I think the easiest thing is to tell you in general what has been happening for over a year.

I am satisfied this bill has no such meaning.

It was presented to the Senate and House to avoid the consequences that would have followed the adoption of the language in the appropriation bill.

Until such time as the Congress shall provide other means of financing, the Secretary of Commerce and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation are authorized and directed to supply necessary funds.

I cannot overlook any further violations of my instructions.

Following such transfers, no corporations created and organized by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation... shall exercise any of its powers and functions in regard to any activity or transaction in or pertaining to any foreign country…

There is established in the Office for Emergency Management an Office of Economic Warfare.

We must go forward without any further public debate as to matters which are now academic so far as winning the war is presently concerned.

The important thing is to clear the decks and to get on with the war at once.

All personnel, property, records, funds, contracts, assets, liabilities, and capital stock of these corporations... are transferred with these corporations to the Office of Economic Warfare.

I am persuaded that the present controversy indicates that future cooperative action between your two agencies is impossible.

The Director of the Office of Economic Warfare may reconstitute the Boards of Directors of these corporations.

We are convinced that this will occur only when the forces of evil which now hold vast areas of Europe and Asia enslaved have been utterly destroyed.
