Men and nature must work hand in hand
Men and Nature must work hand in hand. The throwing out of balance of the resources of Nature throws out of balance also the lives of men. We find millions of our citizens stranded in village and on farm - stranded there because Nature cannot support them in the livelihood they had sought to gain through her. We find other millions gravitated to centers of population so vast that the laws of natural economics have broken down.
Prophetic words from Franklin D. Roosevelt's address to Congress on the Use of Our National Resources, January 24, 1935.
Washington DC is full of memorials and inspiring words of past American leaders. What will it take to convince our current political leadership to heed these words?
