Another thing, gentlemen, and now I want to speak to you for a moment from the religious standpoint, to speak to you in connection with the work of this mission. I wish I could make every member of a Christian church feel that just in so far as he spends his time in quarrelling with other Christians of other churches he is helping to discredit Christianity in the eyes of the world. | https://www.gutenberg.org/files/13930/13930-h/13930-h.htm | The Project Gutenberg eBook of African and European Addresses, by Theodore Roosevelt, et al | gutenberg.org | 0.803 | 0.866 | ["networking"] | 434 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.602024 | [

Not only does what I am about to say apply to the behavior of Christians towards one another, but of all Christians towards their non-Christian brethren, towards their fellow-citizens of another creed.

And the result was a peace which was not a peace. And right here I want to address a word or two to some suspicious souls who are fearful that Mr. Hull or I have made "commitments" for the future which might pledge this Nation to secret treaties, or to enacting the role of a world Santa Claus. Of course, we made some commitments.

The one supreme objective for the future, which we discussed for each nation individually, and for all the United Nations, can be summed up in one word: Security.

It means also economic security, social security, moral security -- in a family of nations. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Roosevelt%27s_Fireside_Chat,_11_January_1944 | Roosevelt's Fireside Chat, 11 January 1944 - Wikisource | en.wikisource.org | 0.629 | 0.86 | ["ethics", "war_conflict", "family"] | 488 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.616374 | [

hampers our national effort. It prolongs the war. In this war, we have been compelled to learn how interdependent upon each other are all groups and sections of the whole population of America. Increased food costs, for example, will bring new demands for wage increases from all war workers, which will in turn raise all prices of all things including those things which the farmers themselves have to buy. Increased wages or prices will each in turn produce the same results. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Roosevelt%27s_Fireside_Chat,_11_January_1944 | Roosevelt's Fireside Chat, 11 January 1944 - Wikisource | en.wikisource.org | 0.848 | 0.862 | ["war_conflict"] | 477 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.616671 | [

ely striving to sabotage the national war effort. They are laboring under the delusion that the time is past when we must make prodigious sacrifices -- that the war is already won and we can begin to slacken off. But the dangerous folly of that point of view can be measured by the distance that separates our troops from their ultimate objectives in Berlin and Tokyo -- and by the sum of all the perils that lie along the way.

Let us remember the lessons of 1918. In the summer of that year the tide turned in favor of the Allies. But this Government did not relax, nor did the American people.

easures together form a just and equitable whole. I would not recommend a national service law unless the other laws were passed to keep down the cost of living, to share equitably the burdens of taxation, to hold the stabilization line, and to prevent undue profits. The Federal Government already has the basic power to draft capital and property of all kinds for war purposes on a basis of just compensation.

Although I believe that we and our Allies can win the war without such a measure, I am certain that nothing less than total mobilization of all our resources of manpower and capital will guarantee an earlier victory, and reduce the toll of suffering and sorrow and blood. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Roosevelt%27s_Fireside_Chat,_11_January_1944 | Roosevelt's Fireside Chat, 11 January 1944 - Wikisource | en.wikisource.org | 0.823 | 0.85 | ["war_conflict"] | 425 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.617070 | [

As some of my advisers wrote me the other day: "When the very life of the nation is in peril the responsibility for service is common to all men and women.

I believe the country will agree that those statements are the solemn truth. National service is the most democratic way to wage a war.

It does not mean reduction in wages. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Roosevelt%27s_Fireside_Chat,_11_January_1944 | Roosevelt's Fireside Chat, 11 January 1944 - Wikisource | en.wikisource.org | 0.61 | 0.868 | ["war_conflict", "governance", "philosophy"] | 500 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.617134 | [

share. National service provides that direction. I know that all civilian war workers will be glad to be able to say many years hence to their grandchildren: "Yes, I, too, was in service in the great war. I was on duty in an airplane factory, and I helped to make hundreds of fighting planes. The Government told me that in doing that I was performing my most useful work in the service of my country." It is argued that we have passed the stage in the war where national service is necessary. | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Roosevelt%27s_Fireside_Chat,_11_January_1944 | Roosevelt's Fireside Chat, 11 January 1944 - Wikisource | en.wikisource.org | 0.829 | 0.884 | ["war_conflict", "governance", "family", "philosophy"] | 493 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.617164 | [

e in the war where national service is necessary. But our soldiers and sailors know that this is not true. We are going forward on a long, rough road -- and, in all journeys, the last miles are the hardest. And it is for that final effort -- for the total defeat of our enemies -- that we must mobilize our total resources. The national war program calls for the employment of more people in 1944 than in 1943.

As to the machinery for this measure, the Congress itself should determine its nature -- as long as (but) it is (should be) wholly non-partisan in its make-up.

No business community can permanently succeed if the average member of it does not possess a certain quantity of high ideals; and, gentlemen, there is not a business man of large experience here who will not agree with me when I say that.

I need not say to those of you who know anything at all about me that I believe in a big navy; and I hope I need not say that I believe in it not as a provocative to war, but as a guarantee of peace.

In the first place, we get, as perhaps some of you know, a peculiarly valuable class of recruit for the navy from the Mississippi Valley and the region adjoining the Great Lakes. In the next place, I wanted to see part of the establishment of the navy have its local habitation and name here in the great West. | https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/76020/pg76020-images.html | Presidential Addresses and State Papers Volume 4 (of 7) | Project Gutenberg | gutenberg.org | 0.585 | 0.866 | [] | 455 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.634196 | [

Any power strong enough, any power which could be granted sufficiently great to be efficient, would be sufficiently great to be harmful if abused. That is true of the power of taxation.

sident, relating to the Chicago strike situation. As yet no suggestion of any kind has come to me from any source that I should take any action. Of the merits of the case I am wholly ignorant. I have no knowledge of what the situation is, or of what steps should properly be taken to end it. I feel, however, that in view of one statement, or series of statements, in your letter, I ought to say this: I regret that you should have in the letter spoken at all of the use of the Federal army as you have there spo | https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/76020/pg76020-images.html | Presidential Addresses and State Papers Volume 4 (of 7) | Project Gutenberg | gutenberg.org | 0.811 | 0.904 | ["war_conflict", "education"] | 512 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.635831 | [

No request has been made to me for action by the Federal Government, but at the same time, Mr. Shea, as you have in this communication to me brought up that fact, I want to say one thing with all the emphasis in my power. In upholding law and order, in doing what he is able to do to suppress mob violence in any shape or way, the Mayor of Chicago, Mayor Dunne, has my hearty support. | https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/76020/pg76020-images.html | Presidential Addresses and State Papers Volume 4 (of 7) | Project Gutenberg | gutenberg.org | 0.804 | 0.776 | ["governance", "communication", "war_conflict"] | 438 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.635861 | [

r of Chicago, Mayor Dunne, has my hearty support. I am glad to be able to say this to you gentlemen before I say it to any other body. Now let me repeat that I know nothing of the facts of the situation. I know nothing of the rights or wrongs of the points at issue. What I have to say is based purely upon what I regard as the unfortunate phrasing of a letter presented to the President of the United States. I have not been [376] called upon to interfere in any way, but you must not misunderstand my attitude. | https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/76020/pg76020-images.html | Presidential Addresses and State Papers Volume 4 (of 7) | Project Gutenberg | gutenberg.org | 0.811 | 0.904 | ["social_justice"] | 512 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.635894 | [

In every effort of Mayor Dunne to prevent violence by mobs or individuals, to see that the laws are obeyed and that order is preserved, he has the hearty support of the President of the United States, and in my judgment he should have that of every good citizen of the United States. Now, gentlemen, it has been a great pleasure to see you, and I am glad to have had the chance to say this to you.

ad the chance to say this to you. Mr. Quinn : Mr. President, what prompted us to come to you with this statement is that for the past two or three weeks there has been a continual howl for the Federal army. I have known you long enough to know that you would not respond to a one-sided demand, that you will not respond until you have thoroughly investigated the case.

efore, of course, the Governor has made none to me; and as yet nothing in the situation has demanded action by me. Mr. Shea : Let me explain that. The Governor has been requested by the committee of the employers to demand Federal troops. The statement has been made in the papers. I immediately telegraphed Governor [377] Deneen that we would allow him to appoint a commission. Regardless of that I want to make our position known to you in regard to mob violence. | https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/76020/pg76020-images.html | Presidential Addresses and State Papers Volume 4 (of 7) | Project Gutenberg | gutenberg.org | 0.827 | 0.868 | [] | 465 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.635977 | [

position known to you in regard to mob violence. Every time a mob congregates, every act of violence performed by either a union man or a sympathizer, it reacts to our detriment. I believe that we are skilled workmen enough in our particular craft to demonstrate to our business men of Chicago that it is to their interest to employ us.

cago who have been forced out of their positions. Acts of violence meet with the condemnation of the officials, both local and national, of our organization. It does not meet with the sympathies of our organization. I simply want to say that we want to be fair, to preserve the business interests of Chicago, realizing that the prosperity of our employers is our prosperity.

in unions. I am an honorary member of one union. But the union must obey the law just as the corporation must obey the law, just as every man, rich or poor, must obey the law. As yet no action whatever has been called for by me, and most certainly if action is called for by me I shall try to do exact justice under the law to every man, so far as I have power. But the first essential is the preservation of law and order, the suppression of violence by mobs or individuals. | https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/76020/pg76020-images.html | Presidential Addresses and State Papers Volume 4 (of 7) | Project Gutenberg | gutenberg.org | 0.807 | 0.89 | ["governance", "communication", "ethics", "social_justice", "philosophy"] | 475 | FDR | personality | 2026-03-02T16:18:41.636068 | [
