Franklin D. Roosevelt
Finally, in our progress toward 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.
