  State of the Union message to Congress, May.

The new industrial revolution is a two-edged sword. It may be used for the benefit of humanity, assuming that humanity survives long enough to reach a period in whichsuch a benefit ispossible.If, however, we proceed along the clear and obvious lines of our traditional behavior, and follow our traditional worship of progress and the fifth freedomöthe freedom to exploitöit is practically certain that we shall have to face a decade or more of ruin and despair.
