Jesse Jones lauds Roosevelt’s record
Washington (UP) –
Secretary of Commerce Jesse H. Jones said last night that President Roosevelt led the nation out of history’s worst depression, is leading it to victory in World War II and must remain in office “to establish a lasting peace.”
He said that in his opinion, based on 12 years of close association with the President, Mr. Roosevelt’s reelection would be “to the best interests of the United States, and of the world.”
“We could not have the fate of our boys, and our country’s future, in better hands,” he said.
