    Extractions: by Richard M. Ebeling , July 1992 A Time for War: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Path to Pearl Harbor by Robert Smith Thompson (New York: Prentice Hall Press, 1991); 449 pages; $24.95. And on October 23, in Philadelphia, Roosevelt had assured the American people: "There is no secret treaty, no secret obligation, no secret commitment, no secret understanding, in any shape or form, direct or indirect, with any government, or any other nation in any part of the world, to involve this nation in any war or for any other purpose." Most Americans, having taken the president at his word, were shocked and infuriated by the Japanese attack on American military installations at Pearl Harbor on December 7,1941. We were at peace, and, the president said, the government was doing everything possible to keep us at peace. The Japanese attack appeared unprovoked and dastardly. America was the innocent victim of naked aggression. Historian Robert Smith Thompson, in his book A Time for War: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Path to Pearl Harbor, Myth: President Roosevelt did his utmost to follow a path of neutrality in the Far East, wishing only to prevent the spread of war to American soil.

As a New York State Senator from 1911-1913, he emerged as a leader in the Democratic revolt against Tammany Hall. Roosevelt was the Assistant Secretary of the Navy from 1913-1920. He proposed expansion of the navy, drew up war contingency plans as early as 1913, and was among the early advocates of U.S. entry into WWI. He was also the director of the mining of the waters between Scotland and Norway. He resigned his post in 1920 to accept the Democratic Vice-Presidential nomination. He practiced law in New York City in partnership with D. Basil O'Conner beginning in 1924.

    Extractions: U.S. NAVY SHIPS USS Franklin D. Roosevelt , a 45,000-ton Midway class large aircraft carrier, was built at the New York Navy Yard. Commissioned on Navy Day, 27 October 1945, she made a shakedown cruise to Brazil in February 1946. During April and May of that year, she took part in Eighth Fleet maneuvers off the east coast, the Navy's first major post-World War II training exercise. The first of Franklin D. Roosevelt 's nearly two dozen deployments to the Mediterranean Sea followed in August-October. Her second Med cruise began in July 1948 and lasted into early 1949. As the Cold War became increasingly tense in the late 1940s and early 1950s, the carrier regularly crossed the Atlantic for operations with the Sixth Fleet off Southern Europe, carrying both conventionally and nuclear-armed aircraft to deter the Soviet Union and its client states. She was reclassified as an attack aircraft carrier in October 1952, changing her hull number from CVB-42 to CVA-42. In early 1954

    Extractions: UP to Leo Szilard Online Einstein to Roosevelt, August 2, 1939 In the summer of 1939, six months after the discovery of uranium fission, American newspapers and magazines openly discussed the prospect of atomic energy. However, most American physicists doubted that atomic energy or atomic bombs were realistic possibilities. No official U.S. atomic energy project existed. Leo Szilard was profoundly disturbed by the lack of American action. If atomic bombs were possible, as he believed they were, Nazi Germany might gain an unbeatable lead in developing them. It was especially troubling that Germany had stopped the sale of uranium ore from occupied Czechoslovakia. U nable to find official support, and unable to convince Enrico Fermi of the need to continue experiments, Szilard turned to his old friend Albert Einstein... [continued below] E instein was enjoying a sailing vacation in Peconic on the northern tip of Long Island, New York. On or about July 12, Szilard and fellow Hungarian physicist Eugene Wigner made the short drive from Manhattan in Wigner's car. Einstein, true to his simple tastes, greeted his visitors wearing an undershirt and rumpled, rolled-up pants. He showed them to his cabin's large, screened-in porch. S zilard explained the state of international research on uranium and the evidence that a bomb might be possible. Given the seriousness of the situation, Szilard's request was quite modest. He asked if Einstein would warn the Belgian Queen Mother, whom he knew, to prevent the large stockpile of uranium ore in the Belgian Congo from falling into Nazi hands. Einstein agreed to the idea, but he preferred to write to another friend, the Belgian ambassador. Einstein dictated a letter in German, which Wigner took down.

    Extractions: For only the second time in our country's history, the son of a former president has himself been elected president. Is there something in the presidential gene pool that propels the sons of chief executives into the political fray? Or is it just the learning experiences, connections, and family name that give them an advantage? More of the latter than the former, probably, but surprisingly few presidential "sons of fortune" toss their hat into the political ring. Of almost 90 boys born to presidents, we've found only 18 that have held political office. (The list below may not be complete, but should be pretty close!

    http://bcn.boulder.co.us/government/national/speeches/spch2.html
    
    Extractions: To the Congress of the United States: Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with the government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleagues delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack. It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace. The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. Very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.

56. Eleanor Roosevelt Biography
    Although she had already won international respect and admiration in her role as First Lady to president franklin D. roosevelt, Eleanor roosevelts work on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights would become her greatest legacy.  
    http://www.udhr50.org/history/Biographies/bioer.htm
    
    Extractions: Eleanor Roosevelt regarded the Universal Declaration as her greatest accomplishment. Eleanor Roosevelt "Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world." Eleanor Roosevelt Unlike most other members of the Commission, Mrs. Roosevelt was neither a scholar nor an expert on international law. Her enthusiasm for her work at the United Nations was rooted in her humanitarian convictions and her steady faith in human dignity and worth. Although she often joked that she was out of place among so many academics and jurists, her intellect and compassion were great assets, and proved to be of crucial importance in the composition of a direct and straightforward Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

    Extractions: Henry Agard Wallace, (188-1965), VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES . After graduating from Iowa State College with a bachelor of science degree in agriculture in 1910, he became associate editor of Wallaces' Farmer, succeeding his father as editor in 1924. When this journal was merged with the Iowa Homestead in 1929, Wallace remained editor until 1933. Meanwhile, he had developed several high-yielding strains of hybrid corn, selling the seed with great success through his own company. Originally a REPUBLICAN , Wallace supported the DEMOCRATIC presidential candidate Alfred E. Smith in 1928, and in 1932 he helped to swing Iowa for Franklin Delano ROOSEVELT . As secretary of agriculture during the first two Roosevelt administrations, he was an ardent supporter of NEW DEAL policies, and set up within the Department of Agriculture the Agricultural Adjustment Administration to administer the farm price support program. In 1940 Wallace was elected vice president and served in this capacity during Roosevelt's third term in office. He was sent on goodwill tours to Latin America and the Far East, and from 1942 to 1943 was head of the short-lived Board of Economic Warfare. In 1944, after the nomination of Harry S.

    Extractions: John Nance Garner, (1868-1967), American political leader, who was elected VICE PRESIDENT after serving 30 years in the U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES . Born near Detroit, Texas, on Nov. 22, 1868, Garner read law in Clarksville, Texas, and began practice in Uvalde, Texas, in 1890. He acquired the Uvalde Leader in lieu of a legal fee and his reputation as a newspaper editor led to his appointment and reelection as county judge of Uvalde county. After two terms in the Texas House of Representatives, Garner moved to the U.S. House in 1903, serving until 1933. In 1931 he was elected Speaker. "Cactus Jack," as his friends called him, was an expert at backstage maneuvering to get legislation passed. He often invited colleagues to his office where he applied persuasion and good whiskey, a technique he called "striking a blow for liberty." Garner, the favorite son presidential candidate of Texas, made possible the nomination of Franklin D. ROOSEVELT in 1932 by releasing his Texas and California delegates. Garner then accepted the vice presidential nomination reluctantly. Though elected vice president with Roosevelt in 1932 and 1936, Garner was never comfortable in the

    A brief history of the local medical institution that bears the name of president franklin Delano roosevelt.  
    http://www.rooseveltrehab.org/history.htm
    
    Extractions: OUR HISTORY... 75 YEARS OF COMMITMENT TO SERVICE Roosevelt Begins Transformation of Warm Springs The Meriwether Inn, upper left, a rambling Victorian hotel built in 1893, dominated the resort grounds when FDR first visited Warm Springs in 1924. Early patients of the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation stayed in this building and number of cottages scattered across the grounds. Philanthropist and Columbus, Georgia native George Foster Peabody enticed FDR to Warm Springs with the story of Louis Joseph, a young Columbus man who discarded his crutches by swimming regularly in the Warm Springs Pool. Roosevelt's paralysis, however, was more severe the Joseph's. Despite all his efforts, FDR never walked again. Instead, he experienced a healing of the spirit that prompted his return to public life. Roosevelt loved Warm Springs so much that he bought the resort property in 1926 and began the enormous task of transforming it into a therapeutic center for polio patients. In 1927 he created the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation to operate the therapeutic program. He became governor of New York in 1928 and then President of the United States in 1932.
