Churches and religious institutions will, to the extent that it is within our power, be spared the devastations of war during the struggle ahead.

We will turn our hearts and our minds to the exacting task of building a just and enduring peace on earth.

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.

This order shall become effective on July 1, 1943.

The Commission shall have authority to determine the regulations and procedures governing the recruitment and examination of applicants for attorney positions.

I hereby suspend, from and including the respective effective dates of said acts, compliance with the provisions of the said sections during the continuance of any of the wars in which the United States is now engaged.

All functions, powers, and duties of the Public Works Administration are hereby transferred to the office of the Federal Works Administrator.

I cannot sit back and fail to advocate other measures such as limited consumers' subsidies which I am convinced can help to prevent the cost of living from getting completely out of hand.

The pay envelope of tens of millions of our citizens will not compensate them for great increases in their food bills.

Effective teamwork is absolutely necessary.

I know of no better method of coordinating the work of the Food Administrator and the Price Administrator.

I can not do this for the reason that I do not believe such subsidies will be effective in controlling inflation unless they are accompanied here, as they are in England, by current tax and savings programs that drain of excess buying…

This is war.

Now if Congress wants to do it, 100 percent of the responsibility is going to be on the Congress.

I am unalterably opposed to strikes in wartime.

American labor as well as American business gave their 'no-strike, no-lockout' pledge after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

It is clearly the will of the American people that for the duration of the war all labor disputes be settled by orderly procedures established by law.

We have got to get the coal out.
