1936 Franklin Delano Roosevelt Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives: We are about to enter upon another year of the responsibility which the electorate of the United States has placed in our hands. Having come so far, it is fitting that we should pause to survey the ground which we have covered and the path which lies ahead. On the fourth day of March, 1933, on the occasion of taking the oath of office as President of the United States, I addressed the people | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_Third_State_of_the_Union_Address | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Third State of the Union Address | en.wikisource.org | 0.771 | 0.884 | ["communication", "governance"] | 512 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.468398 | [

ident of the United States, I addressed the people of our country. Need I recall either the scene or the national circumstances attending the occasion? The crisis of that moment was almost exclusively a national one. In recognition of that fact, so obvious to the millions in the streets and in the homes of America, I devoted by far the greater part of that address to what I called, and the Nation called, critical days within our own borders. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_Third_State_of_the_Union_Address | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Third State of the Union Address | en.wikisource.org | 0.784 | 0.858 | ["communication", "crisis", "family"] | 445 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.468482 | [

ion called, critical days within our own borders. You will remember that on that fourth of March, 1933, the world picture was an image of substantial peace. International consultation and widespread hope for the bettering of relations between the Nations gave to all of us a reasonable expectation that the barriers to mutual confidence, to increased trade, and to the peaceful settlement of disputes could be progressively removed. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_Third_State_of_the_Union_Address | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Third State of the Union Address | en.wikisource.org | 0.373 | 0.836 | ["diplomacy", "economy", "philosophy"] | 432 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.468539 | [

In fact, my only reference to the field of world policy in that address was in these words: "I would dedicate this Nation to the policy of the good neighbor—the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and, because he does so, respects the rights of others—a neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors."

The world has witnessed similar eras— as in the days when petty kings and feudal barons were changing the map of Europe every fortnight, or when great emperors and great kings were engaged in a mad scramble for colonial empire. We hope that we are not again at the threshold of such an era. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_Third_State_of_the_Union_Address | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Third State of the Union Address | en.wikisource.org | 0.605 | 0.864 | ["diplomacy"] | 447 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.468679 | [

that system went to the ruthless and the strong. They realize that in thirty-four months we have built up new instruments of public power. In the hands of a people's Government this power is wholesome and proper. But in the hands of political puppets of an economic autocracy such power would provide shackles for the liberties of the people. Give them their way and they will take the course of every autocracy of the past —power for themselves, enslavement for the public.

r the public. Their weapon is the weapon of fear. I have said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." That is as true today as it was in 1933. But such fear as they instill today is not a natural fear, a normal fear; it is a synthetic, manufactured, poisonous fear that is being spread subtly, expensively and cleverly by the same people who cried in those other days, "Save us, save us, lest we perish."

Restoration of national income, which shows continuing gains for the third successive year, supports the normal and logical policies under which agriculture and industry are returning to full activity. Under these policies we approach a balance of the national budget.

ncome, increase without the levying of new taxes. That is why I am able to say to this, the Second Session of the 74th Congress, that it is my belief based on existing laws that no new taxes, over and above the present taxes, are either advisable or necessary. National income increases; employment increases. Therefore, we can look forward to a reduction in the number of those citizens who are in need. Therefore, also, we can anticipate a reduction in our appropriations for relief. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_Third_State_of_the_Union_Address | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Third State of the Union Address | en.wikisource.org | 0.808 | 0.868 | ["governance", "career", "war_conflict"] | 485 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.469285 | [

At the very least, we can and should avoid any action, or any lack of action, which will encourage, assist or build up an aggressor. We have learned that when we deliberately try to legislate neutrality, our neutrality laws may operate unevenly and unfairly—may actually give aid to an aggressor and deny it to the victim. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_Sixth_State_of_the_Union_Address | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Sixth State of the Union Address | en.wikisource.org | 0.842 | 0.842 | ["governance", "family"] | 419 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.491290 | [

And we have learned something else—the old, old lesson that probability of attack is mightily decreased by the assurance of an ever ready defense.

Under modern conditions what we mean by "adequate defense"—a policy subscribed to by all of us—must be divided into three elements.

We have now passed the period of internal conflict in the launching of our program of social reform.

Our own hour-glass tells us that we are off on a race to make democracy work, so that we may be efficient in peace and therefore secure in national defense. This time element forces us to still greater efforts to attain the full employment of our labor and our capital. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_Sixth_State_of_the_Union_Address | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Sixth State of the Union Address | en.wikisource.org | 0.805 | 0.864 | ["career", "governance", "diplomacy", "economy"] | 451 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.491808 | [

the full employment of our labor and our capital. The first duty of our statesmanship is to bring capital and man-power together. Dictatorships do this by main force. By using main force they apparently succeed at it—for the moment. However we abhor their methods, we are compelled to admit that they have obtained substantial utilization of all their material and human resources.

Can we compete with them by boldly seeking methods of putting idle men and idle capital together and, at the same time, remain within our American way of life, within the Bill of Rights, and within the bounds of what is, from our point of view, civilization itself?

spending more than we can afford. That is not so. Despite our Federal Government expenditures the entire debt of our national economic system, public and private together, is no larger today than it was in 1929, and the interest thereon is far less than it was in 1929. The object is to put capital—private as well as public—to work.

the importance of permanent long-range planning. I hope, therefore, that following my recommendation of last year, a permanent agency will be set up and authorized to report on the urgency and desirability of the various types of government investment. Investment for prosperity can be made in a democracy. I hear some people say, "This is all so complicated. There are certain advantages in a dictatorship. It gets rid of labor trouble, of unemployment, of wasted motion and of having to do your own thinking." | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_Sixth_State_of_the_Union_Address | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Sixth State of the Union Address | en.wikisource.org | 0.831 | 0.868 | ["governance", "strategy", "career", "economy"] | 511 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.492271 | [

ted motion and of having to do your own thinking." My answer is, "Yes, but it also gets rid of some other things which we Americans intend very definitely to keep—and we still intend to do our own thinking." It will cost us taxes and the voluntary risk of capital to attain some of the practical advantages which other forms of government have acquired. Dictatorship, however, involves costs which the American people will never pay: The cost of our spiritual values. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_Sixth_State_of_the_Union_Address | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Sixth State of the Union Address | en.wikisource.org | 0.827 | 0.862 | ["ethics", "salary", "governance", "faith_spirituality", "philosophy"] | 467 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.492301 | [

And you can accept my pledge that I will leave no doubt or ambiguity on where I stand on any question of moment in this campaign.

And if this appeal fails, remember well, my friends, that a resentment against the failure of Republican leadership--and note well that in this campaign I shall not use the word "Republican Party," but I shall use, day in and day out, the words, "Republican leadership"--the failure of Republican leaders to solve our troubles may degenerate into unreasoning radicalism. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_First_Presidential_Nomination_Acceptance_Speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Presidential Nomination ... | en.wikisource.org | 0.802 | 0.836 | ["leadership", "governance", "philosophy"] | 420 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.509991 | [

ubles may degenerate into unreasoning radicalism. The great social phenomenon of this depression, unlike others before it, is that it has produced but a few of the disorderly manifestations that too often attend upon such times. Wild radicalism has made few converts, and the greatest tribute that I can pay to my countrymen is that in these days of crushing want there persists an orderly and hopeful spirit on the part of the millions of our people who have suffered so much. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_First_Presidential_Nomination_Acceptance_Speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Presidential Nomination ... | en.wikisource.org | 0.828 | 0.864 | ["salary", "faith_spirituality", "philosophy"] | 477 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.510028 | [

millions of our people who have suffered so much. To fail to offer them a new chance is not only to betray their hopes but to misunderstand their patience. To meet by reaction that danger of radicalism is to invite disaster. Reaction is no barrier to the radical. It is a challenge, a provocation. The way to meet that danger is to offer a workable program of reconstruction, and the party to offer it is the party with clean hands. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_First_Presidential_Nomination_Acceptance_Speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Presidential Nomination ... | en.wikisource.org | 0.393 | 0.86 | ["crisis"] | 432 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.510063 | [

labor, to the farmer, to the small business man.

Now it is inevitable--and the choice is that of the times--it is inevitable that the main issue of this campaign should revolve about the clear fact of our economic condition, a depression so deep that it is without precedent in modern history.

The people will not forget the claim made by them then that prosperity was only a domestic product manufactured by a Republican President and a Republican Congress.

In the years before 1929 we know that this country had completed a vast cycle of building and inflation; for ten years we expanded on the theory of repairing the wastes of the War, but actually expanding far beyond that, and also beyond our natural and normal growth. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_First_Presidential_Nomination_Acceptance_Speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Presidential Nomination ... | en.wikisource.org | 0.786 | 0.876 | ["war_conflict"] | 459 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.510248 | [

t, and also beyond our natural and normal growth. Now it is worth remembering, and the cold figures of finance prove it, that during that time there was little or no drop in the prices that the consumer had to pay, although those same figures proved that the cost of production fell very greatly; corporate profit resulting from this period was enormous; at the same time little of that profit was devoted to the reduction of prices.

pluses piled up-- the most stupendous in history. Where, under the spell of delirious speculation, did those surpluses go? Let us talk economics that the figures prove and that we can understand. Why, they went chiefly in two directions: first, into new and unnecessary plants which now stand stark and idle; and second, into the call-money market of Wall Street, either directly by the corporations, or indirectly through the banks.

Men lost their jobs; purchasing power dried up; banks became frightened and started calling loans. Those who had money were afraid to part with it. Credit contracted. Industry stopped.

We know well that in our complicated, interrelated credit structure if any one of these credit groups collapses they may all collapse. Danger to one is danger to all.

al places. Publicity is the enemy of crookedness. And now one word about unemployment, and incidentally about agriculture. I have favored the use of certain types of public works as a further emergency means of stimulating employment and the issuance of bonds to pay for such public works, but I have pointed out that no economic end is served if we merely build without building for a necessary purpose. Such works, of course, should insofar as possible be self-sustaining if they are to be financed by the issu | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_First_Presidential_Nomination_Acceptance_Speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Presidential Nomination ... | en.wikisource.org | 0.791 | 0.876 | ["career", "crisis", "salary"] | 512 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.510779 | [

So as to spread the points of all kinds as widely as possible, we must take definite steps to shorten the working day and the working week. Let us use common sense and business sense. Just as one example, we know that a very hopeful and immediate means of relief, both for the unemployed and for agriculture, will come from a wide plan of the converting of many millions of acres of marginal and unused land into timberland through reforestation. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_First_Presidential_Nomination_Acceptance_Speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Presidential Nomination ... | en.wikisource.org | 0.791 | 0.884 | [] | 510 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.510805 | [

nused land into timberland through reforestation. There are tens of millions of acres east of the Mississippi River alone in abandoned farms, in cut-over land, now growing up in worthless brush. Why, every European Nation has a definite land policy, and has had one for generations. We have none. Having none, we face a future of soil erosion and timber famine. It is clear that economic foresight and immediate employment march hand in hand in the call for the reforestation of these vast areas. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_First_Presidential_Nomination_Acceptance_Speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Presidential Nomination ... | en.wikisource.org | 0.83 | 0.868 | ["career"] | 496 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.510843 | [

e call for the reforestation of these vast areas. In so doing, employment can be given to a million men. That is the kind of public work that is self-sustaining, and therefore capable of being financed by the issuance of bonds which are made secure by the fact that the growth of tremendous crops will provide adequate security for the investment. Yes, I have a very definite program for providing employment by that means.

That will put men to work, and that is an example of the action that we are going to have.

, to speculate in farm products in a futile attempt to reduce farm surpluses. And they are the people who are talking of keeping Government out of business. The practical way to help the farmer is by an arrangement that will, in addition to lightening some of the impoverishing burdens from his back, do something toward the reduction of the surpluses of staple commodities that hang on the market. It should be our aim to add to the world prices of staple products the amount of a reasonable tariff protection, | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_First_Presidential_Nomination_Acceptance_Speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Presidential Nomination ... | en.wikisource.org | 0.356 | 0.88 | ["governance", "war_conflict", "philosophy"] | 511 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.510934 | [

cts the amount of a reasonable tariff protection, to give agriculture the same protection that industry has today. And in exchange for this immediately increased return I am sure that the farmers of this Nation would agree ultimately to such planning of their production as would reduce the surpluses and make it unnecessary in later years to depend on dumping those surpluses abroad in order to support domestic prices. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt%27s_First_Presidential_Nomination_Acceptance_Speech | Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Presidential Nomination ... | en.wikisource.org | 0.602 | 0.838 | ["strategy", "economy", "philosophy"] | 420 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.510964 | [
