I look forward, however, to the time in the not distant future, when annual appropriations, wholly covered by current revenue, will enable the work to proceed under a national plan. Such a national plan will, in a generation or two, return many times the money spent on it; more important, it will eliminate the use of inefficient tools, conserve an | https://www.gutenberg.org/files/5038/5038-h/5038-h.htm | State of the Union Addresses of Franklin D.

In that spirit I come to an immediate issue made for us by hard and inescapable circumstance--the task of putting people to work.

About one million and a half of these belong to the group which in the past was dependent upon local welfare efforts.

Such people, in the days before the great depression, were cared for by local efforts--by States, by counties, by towns, by cities, by churches and by private welfare agencies.

on our economic system of a restored agriculture. The hundreds of millions of additional income that farmers are receiving are finding their way into the channels of trade. The farmers' share of the national income is slowly rising. The economic facts justify the widespread opinion of those engaged in agriculture that our provisions for maintaining a balanced production give at this time the most adequate remedy for an old and vexing problem. | https://www.gutenberg.org/files/5038/5038-h/5038-h.htm | State of the Union Addresses of Franklin D.

For the present, and especially in view of abnormal world conditions, agricultural adjustment with certain necessary improvements in methods should continue. It seems appropriate to call attention at this time to the fine spirit shown during the past year by our public servants.

the past year shows many more gains than losses. Let us not forget that, in addition to saving millions from utter destitution, child labor has been for the moment outlawed, thousands of homes saved to their owners and most important of all, the morale of the Nation has been restored. Viewing the year 1934 as a whole, you and I can agree that we have a generous measure of reasons for giving thanks.

You will remember that on that fourth of March, 1933, the world picture was an image of substantial peace.

I know that when you understand what we in Washington have been about I shall continue to have your cooperation as fully as I have had your sympathy and help during the past week.

t to cover the cash needs of the average citizen. In other words, the total amount of all the currency in the country is only a small fraction of the total deposits in all of the banks. What, then, happened during the last few days of February and the first few days of March? Because of undermined confidence on the part of the public, there was a general rush by a large portion of our population to turn bank deposits into currency or gold—a rush so great that the soundest banks could not get enough currency | https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/5767/pg5767-images.html | The Fireside Chats of Franklin Delano Roosevelt Radio Addresses ... | gutenberg.org | 0.375 | 0.892 | [] | 512 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.105979 | [

It was then that I issued the proclamation providing for the nation-wide bank holiday, and this was the first step in the government's reconstruction of our financial and economic fabric. The second step was the legislation promptly and patriotically passed by the Congress confirming my proclamation and broadening my powers so that it became possible in view of the requirement of time to extend the holiday and lift the ban of that holiday gradually. | https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/5767/pg5767-images.html | The Fireside Chats of Franklin Delano Roosevelt Radio Addresses ... | gutenberg.org | 0.77 | 0.866 | ["governance"] | 503 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.106014 | [

The third stage has been the series of regulations permitting the banks to continue their functions to take care of the distribution of food and household necessities and the payment of payrolls. This bank holiday, while resulting in many cases in great inconvenience, is affording us the opportunity to supply the currency necessary to meet the situation.

ency because it is backed by actual, good assets. A question you will ask is this: why are all the banks not to be reopened at the same time? The answer is simple. Your government does not intend that the history of the past few years shall be repeated. We do not want and will not have another epidemic of bank failures.

It is necessary that the reopening of banks be extended over a period in order to permit the banks to make applications for necessary loans, to obtain currency needed to meet their requirements and to enable the government to make common sense checkups.

I am confident that the state banking departments will be as careful as the national government in the policy relating to the opening of banks and will follow the same broad policy. It is possible that when the banks resume a very few people who have not recovered from their fear may again begin | https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/5767/pg5767-images.html | The Fireside Chats of Franklin Delano Roosevelt Radio Addresses ... | gutenberg.org | 0.6 | 0.882 | ["resume", "governance"] | 511 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.106208 | [

Let me make it clear that the banks will take care of all needs—and it is my belief that hoarding during the past week has become an exceedingly unfashionable pastime.

e purposes—the phantom of fear will soon be laid. People will again be glad to have their money where it will be safely taken care of and where they can use it conveniently at any time. I can assure you that it is safer to keep your money in a reopened bank than under the mattress. The success of our whole great national program depends, of course, upon the cooperation of the public—on its intelligent support and use of a reliable system. | https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/5767/pg5767-images.html | The Fireside Chats of Franklin Delano Roosevelt Radio Addresses ... | gutenberg.org | 0.584 | 0.864 | [] | 442 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.106267 | [

good assets. This currency is not fiat currency. It is issued only on adequate security—and every good bank has an abundance of such security. One more point before I close. There will be, of course, some banks unable to reopen without being reorganized. The new law allows the government to assist in making these reorganizations quickly and effectively and even allows the government to subscribe to at least a part of new capital which may be required. | https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/5767/pg5767-images.html | The Fireside Chats of Franklin Delano Roosevelt Radio Addresses ... | gutenberg.org | 0.395 | 0.854 | ["governance"] | 455 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.106295 | [

east a part of new capital which may be required. I hope you can see from this elemental recital of what your government is doing that there is nothing complex, or radical, in the process. We had a bad banking situation. Some of our bankers had shown themselves either incompetent or dishonest in their handling of the people's funds. They had used the money entrusted to them in speculations and unwise loans.

of our banks, but it was true in enough of them to shock the people for a time into a sense of insecurity and to put them into a frame of mind where they did not differentiate, but seemed to assume that the acts of a comparative few had tainted them all.
