All of you, I am sure, have heard many cries about Government interference with business and about
“creeping socialism.” I should like to remind the gentlemen who make these complaints that if events
had been allowed to continue as they were going prior to March 4, 1933, most of them would have no
businesses left for the Government or for anyone else to interfere with- and almost surely we would
have socialism in this country, real socialism.
-Harry S. Truman (in 1950)
(FDR assumed the Presidency for the first time 80 years ago today.)
