The President to the Workers:
"If you are with me, I am with you."
"If we are true friends of freedom—our own or anybody else's—we will
see that the power of this country, the productivity of this country,
is raised to its absolute maximum and that absolutely nobody is allowed
to stand in the way of it. When I say that nobody is allowed to
stand in the way, I don't mean that they shall be prevented by the power
of the Government, but by the power of the American spirit. If we are
to do this great thing and show America to be what we believe her to be,
the greatest hope and energy of the world—then we must stand together
night and day until the job is finished."
From President Wilson's speech before the American Federation
of Labor, November 12, 1917.
