We shall deal with our economic system as it is and as it may be modified, not as it might be if we had a clean sheet of paper to write upon; and step by step we shall make it what it should be, in the spirit of those who question their own wisdom and...
Страница 218 - We are not here to play, to dream, to drift, We have hard work to do, and loads to lift. Shun not the struggle ; face it. 'Tis God's gift. Be strong! Say not the days are evil, — Who's to blame?
Страница 159 - The American Bar Association recommends the creation in each state of a State Department of Justice, headed by the Attorney General or by such other officers as may be desirable, whose duty it would be to direct and supervise actively the work of every district attorney, sheriff and law enforcement agency, and who would be specifically charged with the responsibility therefor.
Страница 226 - Nor have we studied and perfected the means by which government may be put at the service of humanity, in safeguarding the health of the Nation, the health of its men and its women and its children, as well as their rights in the struggle for existence.
