THE ROOSEVELT RECOVERY
The record of President Roosevelt gives ample evidence of the
direction, the vision, and understanding which must underlie a pro-
gram of full employment for America after the war. He has shown his
determination to provide jobs and to keep people out of bread lines
by his program which resulted in 12 million additional jobs in pri-
vate industry from March 1933 to the Fall of 1940 and which provided
other millions of jobs on useful public works.
His accomplishment in bringing recovery from the dark and dis- -
mal days of 1932 is a source of pride to every worker, farmer and
industrialist. His leadership in the tremendously successful mo-
bilization of America's resources for war will go down in history as
one of the brightest accomplishments in America's long record of
great achievements.
Through the democratic process, without interference with in-
dividual liberties and with constant consideration of the dignity
and respectability of the individual, Roosevelt brought this country
out of the chaos of 1932 to a steady and sound recovery. Hitler
eradicated unemployment in Germany through ruthlessly suppressing
personal liberties and the rights of employers and individuals,
using tyranny, secret police, blood purges, and all the trimmings of
dictatorship. The totalitarian states provided jobs through stamp-
ing out liberties and through military preparations.
