Lewis Strauss Is One Of My Best

I Am Firmly Opposed To The Government Entering Into Any Business The Major Purpose Of Which Is Competition With Our Citizens... For The Federal Government Deliberately To Go Out To Build Up And Expand... A Power And Manufacturing Business Is To Break Down The Initiative And Enterprise Of The American People; It Is The Destruction Of Equality Of Opportunity Amongst Our People, It Is The Negation Of The Ideals Upon Which Our Civilization Has Been Based.

Unemployment In The Sense Of Distress Is Widely Disappearing. . . . We In America Today Are Nearer To The Final Triumph Over Poverty Than Ever Before In The History Of Any Land. The Poor-house Is Vanishing From Among Us. We Have Not Yet Reached The Goal, But Given A Change To Go Forward With The Policies Of The Last Eight Years, And We Shall Soon With He Help Of God Be In Sight Of The Day When Poverty Will Be Banished From This Nation. There Is No Guarantee Against Poverty Equal To A Job For Every Man. That Is The Primary Purpose Of The Economic Policies We Advocate

Any Practice Of Business Which Would Dominate The Country By Its Own Selfish Interest Is A Destruction Of Equality Of Opportunity. Government In Business, Except In Emergency, Is Also A Destruction Of Equal Opportunity And The Incarnation Of Tyranny Through Bureaucracy.

When The Outcome Of A Meeting Is To Have Another Meeting, It Has Been A Lousy Meeting.

We Cannot Change Ideas In The Minds Of Men And Races With Machine Guns Or Battle Ships.
