    Franklin D. Roosevelt
    First Inaugural Address
    Washington, DC
    Saturday, March 4, 1933 I AM In such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difficulties. They concern, thank God, only material things. Values have shrunken to fantastic levels; taxes have risen; our ability to pay has fallen; government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income; the means of exchange are frozen in the currents of trade; the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side; farmers find no markets for their produce; the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone. More important, a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of existence, and an equally great number toil with little return. Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment. Yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. We are stricken by no plague of locusts. Compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered because they believed and were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have multiplied it. Plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply. Primarily this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods have failed, through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure, and abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men.

    Rights of People
    Some historical documents have talked about, or enumerated, the basic rights of each person, or human freedom. U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Four Freedoms - January 6, 1941 The "Four Freedoms" speech, delivered by Franklin D. Roosevelt to the U.S. Congress on January 6, 1941:
    Mr. Speaker, members of the 77th Congress :
    I address you, the members of this new Congress, at a moment unprecedented in the history of the union. I use the word "unprecedented" because at no previous time has American security been as seriously threatened from without as it is today. Since the permanent formation of our government under the Constitution in 1789, most of the periods of crisis in our history have related to our domestic affairs. And, fortunately, only one of these the four-year war between the States ever threatened our national unity. Today, thank God, 130,000,000 Americans in forty-eight States have forgotten points of the compass in our national unity.
    It is true that prior to 1914 the United States often has been disturbed by events in other continents. We have even engaged in two wars with European nations and in a number of undeclared wars in the West Indies, in the Mediterranean and in the Pacific, for the maintenance of American rights and for the Principles of peaceful commerce. But in no case has a serious threat been raised against our national safety or our continued independence.

    President Franklin D. Roosevelt Speeches and Statements Regarding Merchant Marine President Roosevelt was a man of the sea and understood the importance of a strong merchant marine during war and peace. During World War I, he was Assistant Secretary of the Navy, in charge of arming of merchant ships and convoys. One of his first acts as President was to proclaim Maritime Day to commemorate the first steam-assisted trans-Atlantic crossing by the SS Savannah. His proposed legislation to modernize and professionalize the merchant marine, passed as the historic Merchant Marine Act of 1936. During World War II, he resisted attempts to incorporate the merchant marine into the Army or Navy because of potential problems with inter-service rivalry, increased costs, and greater need for manpower. Instead, he oversaw the operation of the War Shipping Administration out of the Oval Office.

Edward Macauley, USN, retired, Deputy War Shipping Administrator, follows: "On the seventh anniversary of the founding of the United. States Merchant Marine Cadet Corps, I extend my congratulations upon the service the Cadet Corps is rendering the Nation by adequately and efficiently training young men as officers of our Merchant Marine.

    FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, JR.
    First Chairman of the EEOC, May 26, 1965- May 11, 1966
    Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr. was the first chairman of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. He was appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson and served as Chairman from May 26, 1985 through May 11, 1966. The son and namesake of former U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, "F.D.R., Jr.," as he was often called, helped the new agency attract wide public response. In fact, much of the mail that arrived in the first few months at the basement offices the Commission had borrowed temporarily from the U.S. Department of Commerce was simply addressed to "F.D.R., Jr., Washington, DC." Mr. Roosevelt served only a year with the Commission, but his efforts gave his immediate successors a solid foundation on which to build. Prior to joining the Commission, Mr. Roosevelt served as under-secretary of Commerce, and acting secretary during the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations. He also served as a member of Congress, representing the Twentieth District of New York from 1949 to 1954. During this period, he was a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee and also was active in legislation dealing with housing, veterans' affairs, foreign affairs and civil rights. Mr. Roosevelt was a senior partner in the New York law firm of Roosevelt and Freiden before and after his service in the Congress. He graduated from Harvard University and received his law degree from the University of Virginia. He served with distinction during World War II and was a highly decorated U.S. Naval officer.

    A GUIDE TO SELECTED MATERIALS
    IN THE CLAUDE PEPPER COLLECTION
    U.S. Senator Claude Pepper and President Franklin D. Roosevelt shared similar political philosophies. Both believed that contemporary problems were too big to be solved by individuals alone, and therefore saw the need for direct government involvement. Together they enacted legislation of lasting national significance. During the New Deal years, Pepper consistently supported President Roosevelt’s humanitarian legislation such as Social Security, federal aid to the states in education, and public health measures. This guide will help researchers locate selected resources in the Claude Pepper and Robert Manning Strozier Libraries that document their thoughts and perspectives in shaping the New Deal and our nation’s history.

    Claude Pepper and Franklin D. Roosevelt:
    The Early Years (1928 - 1938)
    FDR Giving Radio Address Introduction
    As a member of the Florida State Democratic Executive Committee, Pepper received a letter from Roosevelt in 1928 asking for his opinion on the future of the Democratic Party. This correspondence was the beginning of a professional relationship that did not end until FDR's death in 1945. It was clear to both men from the onset that they shared many of the same ideas and goals for the future of the Democratic Party and for the nation. Pepper stated during the 1934 announcement of his candidacy for the U.S. Senate: "I am with Franklin D. Roosevelt and shall give him aggressive cooperation. The cornerstone of the New Deal is the welfare of the common man. Upon that cornerstone I shall make my campaign." He lost the election in an extremely close primary, but was elected to the office two years later when Duncan U. Fletcher died while in office. When he ran for re-election in 1938, he once again based his campaign around the merits of Roosevelt and the New Deal. The race attracted national attention because it was seen as a real test of the success of the New Deal programs, and his victory was seen as a victory for Roosevelt. Pepper wrote in his diary on May 18, 1938, that when Roosevelt congratulated him on his campaign he responded, "I merely followed a simple game learned in childhood follow the leader." Once in the Senate, Pepper almost immediately made a name for himself as a champion of Roosevelt and the New Deal. His "maiden" speech in the Senate was extraordinary in that Pepper attacked the Democrats in the Senate for failing to support the President. A 1937 news release by United Feature Syndicate describes the speech as follows:

    BROADCAST FROM THE OVAL ROOM OF THE WHITE HOUSE,
    NATIONALLY, AND OVER A WORLD-WIDE HOOKUP
    DECEMBER 9, 1941 10:00 P.M.
    MY FELLOW AMERICANS:
    The sudden criminal attacks perpetrated by the Japanese in the Pacific provide the climax of a decade of international immorality.
    Powerful and resourceful gangsters have banded together to make war upon the whole human race. Their challenge has now been flung at the United States of America. The Japanese have treacherously violated the longstanding peace between us. Many American soldiers and sailors have been killed by enemy action. American ships have been sunk; American airplanes have been destroyed.
    The Congress and the people of the United States have accepted that challenge.
    Together with other free peoples, we are now fighting to maintain our right to live among our world neighbors in freedom, in common decency, without fear of assault. I have prepared the full record of our past relations with Japan, and it will be submitted to the Congress. It begins with the visit of Commodore Parry to Japan eighty-eight years ago. It ends with the visit of two Japanese emissaries to the Secretary of State last Sunday, an hour after Japanese forces had loosed their bombs and machine guns against our flag, our forces and our citizens.
