Roosevelt outlines New Deal defense and growth plan
The president warned that national defense requires unity and a strong, just nation. He urged social and economic reform as integral to defense, proposing departmental reorganization, railroad aid, social security improvements, labor stabilization, farm program perfection, and tax adjustments to balance growth with restraint. He urged Congress to avoid abrupt cuts and to consider small tax increases to correct inequalities while maintaining overall income. The message, delivered by radio to all states in seven languages, signaled potential anti aggression measures.
