FDR

The Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission is hereby designated as an additional member of the Economic Stabilization Board.

I intend to request the Congress to raise the age limit for non-combat military service to 65 years.

It is a good thing that the miners are returning to their work.

During the past two years the freedom-loving peoples of the world have watched, with increasing admiration, the history making exploits of the armed forces of the Soviet Union.

The growing might of the combined forces of all the United Nations which is being brought increasingly to bear upon our common enemy testifies to the spirit of unity and sacrifice necessary for our ultimate victory.

I do hereby command all persons engaged in said unlawful and insurrectionary proceedings to disperse and retire peacefully to their respective abodes immediately.

I hereby prescribe the following regulations governing the entry of alien seamen into the United States.

The largest thing that we are after in all this discussion is a very old thing which hasn't yet been solved, and that is keeping the cost of living down.

I have had, of course, a great many with 'happy thoughts' in them.

Nobody has ever done it yet.

I think that there is a way of holding the cost of essential foods down to a ceiling.

It's a condition and not a theory.

It is terribly important of course, in my judgment, to prevent inflation.

Don't talk to me about manpower any more, because the manpower question has been solved by womanpower.

The present effect of the British-American campaign against their country is a perfectly logical and inevitable result of the ruthless course that has been pursued during these last years by Mussolini.

Pantelleria has surrendered.

These acts were not the acts of the Italian people.

The United Nations, I think, certainly have the intention —the hope— that Italy will be restored to real nationhood.

I think it is fair to say that all of us are agreed that when the German domination of Italy is ended and the Fascist regime is thrown out, we can well assure the Italian people of their freedom.

It is working out extraordinarily well.

History will proclaim the date of that event as October 28, 1940.

And the day will come when liberated Greeks will again maintain their own Government within the shadow of the Acropolis and the Parthenon.

Freedom from want and freedom from fear go hand in hand.

It is to build for ourselves, meaning for all men everywhere, a world in which each individual human being shall have the opportunity to live out his life in peace.
