This is preeminently the time to speak +the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from +honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will +endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of +all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear +is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which +paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark +hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and of vigor has +met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which +is essential to victory. And I am convinced that you will again give +that support to leadership in these critical days. + +In such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common +difficulties. They concern, thank God, only material things. Values +have shrunk 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; and 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. + +And 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 have abdicated. Practices of the +unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public +opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men. + +True they have tried, but their efforts have been cast in the pattern +of an outworn tradition. Faced by failure of credit they have proposed +only the lending of more money. Stripped of the lure of profit by which +to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have +resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence. +They only know the rules of a generation of self-seekers. They have no +vision, and when there is no vision the people perish. + +Yes, the money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple +of our civilization. We may now restore that temple to the ancient +truths. The measure of that restoration lies in the extent to which we +apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit. + +Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy +of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The joy, the moral +stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of +evanescent profits. These dark days, my friends, will be worth all they +cost us if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered +unto but to minister to ourselves—to our fellow men. + +Recognition of that falsity of material wealth as the standard of +success goes hand in hand with the abandonment of the false belief that +public office and high political position are to be valued only by the +standards of pride of place and personal profit; and there must be an +end to a conduct in banking and in business which too often has given +to a sacred trust the likeness of callous and selfish wrongdoing. Small +wonder that confidence languishes, for it thrives only on honesty, on +honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection, and on +unselfish performance; without them it cannot live. + +Restoration calls, however, not for changes in ethics alone. This +Nation is asking for action, and action now. + +Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. This is no +unsolvable problem if we face it wisely and courageously. It can be +accomplished in part by direct recruiting by the Government itself, +treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war, but at the +same time, through this employment, accomplishing greatly needed +projects to stimulate and reorganize the use of our great natural +resources. + +Hand in hand with that we must frankly recognize the overbalance of +population in our industrial centers and, by engaging on a national +scale in a redistribution, endeavor to provide a better use of the land +for those best fitted for the land. Yes, the task can be helped by +definite efforts to raise the values of agricultural products and with +this the power to purchase the output of our cities. It can be helped +by preventing realistically the tragedy of the growing loss through +foreclosure of our small homes and our farms. It can be helped by +insistence that the Federal, the State, and the local governments act +forthwith on the demand that their cost be drastically reduced. It can +be helped by the unifying of relief activities which today are often +scattered, uneconomical, unequal. It can be helped by national planning +for and supervision of all forms of transportation and of +communications and other utilities that have a definitely public +character. There are many ways in which it can be helped, but it can +never be helped by merely talking about it. We must act; we must act +quickly. + +And finally, in our progress towards a resumption of work we require +two safeguards against a return of the evils of the old order; there +must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and +investments; there must be an end to speculation with other people’s +money, and there must be provision for an adequate but sound currency. + +These, my friends, are the lines of attack. I shall presently urge +upon a new Congress, in special session, detailed measures for their +fulfillment, and I shall seek the immediate assistance of the +forty-eight States. + +Through this program of action we address ourselves to putting our own +national house in order and making income balance outgo. Our +international trade relations, though vastly important, are in point of +time and necessity secondary to the establishment of a sound national +economy. I favor as a practical policy the putting of first things +first. I shall spare no effort to restore world trade by international +economic readjustment, but the emergency at home cannot wait on that +accomplishment. + +The basic thought that guides these specific means of national +recovery is not narrowly nationalistic. It is the insistence, as a +first consideration, upon the interdependence of the various elements +in and parts of the United States of America—a recognition of the old +and permanently important manifestation of the American spirit of the +pioneer. It is the way to recovery. It is the immediate way. It is the +strongest assurance that recovery will endure. + +In the field of world policy I would dedicate this Nation to the +policy of the good neighbor—the neighbor who resolutely respects +himself and, because he does so, respects the rights of others—the +neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his +agreements in and with a world of neighbors. + +If I read the temper of our people correctly, we now realize as we +have never realized before our interdependence on each other; that we +cannot merely take but we must give as well; that if we are to go +forward, we must move as a trained and loyal army willing to sacrifice +for the good of a common discipline, because without such discipline no +progress can be made, no leadership becomes effective. We are, I know, +ready and willing to submit our lives and our property to such +discipline, because it makes possible a leadership which aims at the +larger good. This I propose to offer, pledging that the larger purposes +will bind upon us—bind upon us all—as a sacred obligation with a +unity of duty hitherto evoked only in times of armed strife. + +With this pledge taken, I assume unhesitatingly the leadership of this +great army of our people dedicated to a disciplined attack upon our +common problems. + +Action in this image—action to this end—is feasible under the form +of government which we have inherited from our ancestors. Our +Constitution is so simple, so practical that it is possible always to +meet extraordinary needs by changes in emphasis and arrangement without +loss of essential form. That is why our constitutional system has +proved itself the most superbly enduring political mechanism the modern +world has ever seen. It has met every stress of vast expansion of +territory, of foreign wars, of bitter internal strife, of world +relations. + +And it is to be hoped that the normal balance of executive and +legislative authority may be wholly equal—wholly adequate—to meet the +unprecedented task before us. But it may be that an unprecedented +demand and need for undelayed action may call for temporary departure +from that normal balance of public procedure. + +I am prepared under my constitutional duty to recommend the measures +that a stricken nation in the midst of a stricken world may require. +These measures, or such other measures as the Congress may build out of +its experience and wisdom, I shall seek, within my constitutional +authority, to bring to speedy adoption. + +But in the event that the Congress shall fail to take one of these two +courses, in the event that the national emergency is still critical, I +shall not evade the clear course of duty that will then confront me. I +shall ask the Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the +crisis—broad Executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as +great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded +by a foreign foe. + +For the trust reposed in me I will return the courage and the devotion +that befit the time. I can do no less. + +We face the arduous days that lie before us in the warm courage of +national unity; with the clear consciousness of seeking old and +precious moral values; with the clean satisfaction that comes from the +stern performance of duty by old and young alike. We aim at the +assurance of a rounded—a permanent—national life. + +We do not distrust the future of essential democracy. The people of +the United States have not failed. In their need they have registered a +mandate that they want direct, vigorous action. They have asked for +discipline and direction under leadership. They have made me the +present instrument of their wishes. In the spirit of the gift I take it. + +In this dedication of a Nation we humbly ask the blessing of God. May +He protect each and every one of us. May He guide me in the days to +come. + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK FDR’S FIRST INAUGURAL ADDRESS *** + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will +be renamed. + +Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright +law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, +so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the +United States without permission and without paying copyright +royalties.

To SEND +DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular +state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate. + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To +donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate. + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project +Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be +freely shared with anyone.
