Page 1883 - Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. This is no unsolvable problem if we face it wisely and courageously. It can be accomplished in part by direct recruiting by the government itself, treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war...
Page 1881 - We do not distrust the future of essential democracy. The people of the United States have not failed. In their need they have registered a mandate that they want direct, vigorous action. They have asked for discipline and direction under leadership. They have made me the present instrument of their wishes. In the spirit of the gift I take it.
Page 1884 - We are, I know, ready and willing to submit our lives and property to such discipline because it makes possible a leadership which aims at a larger good. This I propose to offer, pledging that the larger purposes will bind upon us all as a sacred obligation with a unity of duty hitherto evoked only in time of armed strife.

Page 2050 - ... sound economy." It was in this report that the Full Employment Act of 1945 first appeared. Stephen Kemp Bailey, presently dean of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University, traces the progress of that bill through Congress. The final article in part III of this series is a chapter from Bailey's "Congress Makes a Law" which puts the bill in the context of Keynesian economics and the politics and politicians of the day.
Page 1884 - ... we must move as a trained and loyal army willing to sacrifice for the good of a common discipline, because without such discipline no progress is made, no leadership becomes effective. We are, I know, ready and willing to submit our lives and property to such discipline, because it makes possible a leadership which aims at a larger good.
