As a result of that, from FDR's irst] inauguration, up until the Democratic Convention of the Summer of 1944, he led this nation with a program which, if it had been carried out fully, would have prevented most of the things that were bad, that happened after his death. Unfortunately he died, prematurely for civilization, and he was followed by a little man--not a great man, but a very little man, a very petty man.
But nonetheless, even under this petty man, with the help of a President Eisenhower whom I sometimes referred to as ``Eisenhowever'' (because he often did the right thing at the right time, fortunately for us, but sometimes he did the other), we got through. We got through that period successfully into 1964, when after the assassination of President Kennedy, a great worldwide change emerged around this planet.
It is that change, which began about that time, which is the cause for the present world depression.
