Enough of this nonsense about torches of liberty and frontier spirit, he would shout to the crowd. And enough of this guerilla-theater message-to-Wall-Street crap. I ask you all to act with the zeal of civic sacrifice that was so noble among the men and women of this nation in the throes of its birth. Starting tomorrow I am drafting all Americans between the ages of 21 and 30 into a civil militia. For one year each of you will serve the nation without pay, in some public service capacity.

Nor would they tolerate the nationalization of any troubled industry like the railroads. "We are on the brink of socialism," said a participant. "We want a clear commitment that he will not compromise the free enterprise system." Despite their solemn admonitions phrased in blunt language, the Senators came away believing they had not got their message across to the noncommittal President. "We sensed the same old attitude," said one of them...
