We are doing pioneering work, and other people who haven't got the same advantages we have here are in large measure copying what we are doing.

I still believe that the Nation has a common purpose- equality of sacrifice in wartime.

The attention of all agencies of the Federal Government, and of all State and municipal authorities, concerned with the rates of common carriers is directed to the stabilization program.

Each of them is directed to authorize no further increases in ceiling prices except to the minimum extent required by law.

The Order directs the reduction of all prices which are excessively high, inequitable, or unfair.

No further price increases are to be sanctioned unless imperatively required by law.

I cannot permit a continuance of the upward-spiral of prices.

There are to be no further increases in wage rates or salary scales beyond the Little Steel formula.

We cannot afford to take further chances in relaxing the line.

We must adopt simple wartime standards.

If by this bill you force an increase in the cost of the basic foodstuffs, and as a result the National War Labor Board increases wages, no one can tell where increases will stop.

We can all have enough if we do not try to get too much.

The time has come when all of us—farmers, workers, managers, and investors—must realize that we cannot improve our living standards in a period of total war.

I realize, of course, that during much of the last two decades farm prices and farm incomes were inequitably low.

There is hereby established the Good Conduct Medal, which shall include suitable appurtenances.

I don't like to reduce things to signed documents.

I think I ought to make it clear that these conversations are exploratory.

You can do a lot by gentlemen's agreements.
