Talk:Franklin D. Roosevelt/Archive 4

Source šŸ“

1967:"In August 1921, while the Roosevelts were vacationing at Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Roosevelt contracted an illness characterized by: fever; protracted symmetric, ascending paralysis of the upper and lower extremities; facial paralysis; bladder and bowel dysfunction; numbness; and dysesthesia. The symptoms gradually resolved except for paralysis of the lower extremities. The unquestioned diagnosis at the time was paralytic poliomyelitis, which was fitting because polio was epidemic in the northeastern United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Yet his age (39 years) and many features of the illness are more consistent with a diagnosis of Guillain-BarrƩ syndrome (an autoimmune peripheral neuropathy). A peer-reviewed study published in 2003, using Bayesian analysis, found that six of eight posterior probabilities favored a diagnosis of Guillain-BarrƩ syndrome over poliomyelitis. Regardless of the cause, the result was that Roosevelt was totally and permanently paralyzed from the waist down. He could sit up and, with aid of leg braces, stand upright, but could not walk. 1031:
instead of five dollars. The other result of maintaining the dollar-pound and dollar-franc ratio as high as it has been was our ability to get rid of a great many of our export surpluses. Cotton has been moving out. Of course, you know one of our objectives is to eliminate the very large surplus which has been overhanging the domestic prices. The same thing applies to wheat and everything else. Our objective has been to get rid of the surpluses. We got rid of a great deal of cotton and we got rid of a great deal of copper, for instance. At the same time the import trade has increased enormously during the past three months, since the dollar has gone down in terms of pounds. The result has been a very excellent one from a general economic domestic point of view. This revaluation of not more than 60 percent and not below 50 percent should enable us to maintain a fairly reasonable exchange ratio with other Nations.... They have a managed pound, absolutely managed, far more so than we have ever thought of managing the dollar. . . ."

a 21 cent price based on "lucky numbers.") There is nothing trivial that the AAA and NRA were found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. There is nothing trivial that he raised incomes taxs up to 90% on the top income bracket, and then proposed a 99.5% tax which failed. There is nothing trivial about the fact that he issued an Executive Order to tax all incomes over $ 25,000 100%! I'm sorry if this stuff tarnishes the Roosevelt myth, but it's the truth and it needs to be told. That's one of the great things about Knowledge (XXG) --we're able to tell the whole story instead of the "official" censored version of events.
447:
It had too much detail on events not directly connected to FDR (such as details of Supreme Court decisions or NRA or industrial production data or how historians evaluate the overall New Deal statistics) that are best covered elsewhere. The long Glass quote is not very meaningful (Glass never before or after showed an interest in protecting poor orphans). This is a bio of FDR. There is a full article on the New Deal. The jokes ought to go in the TRIVIA section, not main body--such as the good joke about gold and booze. It is important to mention Harry Hopkins in 1933.
2333:"The irony is that even if Roosevelt had helped to lift the spirits of the American people in the depths of the depressionā€”an uplift for which no compelling documentation existsā€”that achievement only led the public to labor under an illusion. After all, the root cause of the prevailing malaise was the continuation of the depression. Had the masses understood that the New Deal was only prolonging the depression, they would have had good reason to reject it and its vaunted leader."ā€”Higgs, Robert, Against Leviathan, p34. 1971:
benefits of hydrotherapy, and in 1926 he bought a resort at Warm Springs, Georgia, where he founded a hydrotherapy center for the treatment of polio patients which still operates as the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation (with an expanded mission). Furthermore, after he became President, he helped to found the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis that supported the rehabilitation of victims of paralytic polio and the discovery of the polio vaccines."
1727:ā€¦can mean only one of two things, (a) that a considerable part of the German population must be liquidated through diceases, malnutrition and slow starvation for a period of years to come, with resultant dangers to the rest of Europe from pestilence and the spread of plagues that know no boundaries; or (b) the continuation of large occupying forces to hold down unrest and the affording of relief mainly drawn from the United States to prevent actual starvation. 772:
utterly baffled by cryptic comments in a bio of FDR (there were of course many other government officials, bankers, etc involved in the gold decisions). To go beyond POV, RJII migh ask the question: was the gold policy good or bad for most Americans, and for the economy? Who was hurt by it? Who was helped? What did the courts say about it? What did the congress say? He migh also tell us what sources he is using so we can help him evaluate them

have been removed for no apparent reason. Irrelevant digressions and contradictory statements have been added. Factual statements have been changed to non-factual ones. Myths, opinions and conspiracy theories have crept back in. So now I have had to come back and redo much of what I did last year. I don't mind doing so, but this should not be necessary, and of course I can't keep doing so for the rest of time.
1981:, of which I was a co-author and which I can add as a reference in the Roosevelt article. Also, information on Roosevelt's work related to polio is added. Also, several unreferenced statements that are peripheral at best (historians speculate, escape from mother) are deleted. The edited section is about the same length and more factually correct. I have tried to retain as much of the original as possible. 423:
statement which was explicitly racialist or racist in content. Yet, such ideas circulated widely among white Protestant Americans during that time period. To portray the internment of Japanese-Americans solely as an issue of national securtiy without any reference of the racism in wide circulation in the U.S. is a distortion of the record. Note the difference of treatment towards
2296:"In reality, FDR's economic policies made the Great Depression much worse; caused it to last much longer than it otherwise would have; and established interventionist precedents that have been a drag on economic prosperity and threat to liberty to this day."ā€”DiLorenzo, How Capitalism Saved America, p179 (introduction to ch. 10ā€”How the New Deal Crippled Capitalism.) 1813:"By 1935, the New Deal was in its second year and still gaining steam. In later years, Rose and I came to be among the best-known critics of the growth in centralized government that the New Deal initiated. Yet, ironically, the New Deal was a lifesaver for us personally. The new government programs created a boom market for economists, especially in Washington." 2367:
would have been a short depression with a natural market-driven recovery. Of course, we can't prove this, because you can't see what naturally would have occured if it weren't for the centralized control over the economy by policitians. Do the same things that Roosevelt did in the midst of a recession today and you'll see another great depression commence.
2314:"One biographer said that there was no one more ignorant of economics than FDR. It showed. FDR knew nothing about how wealth was created. The legislation he called for was a patchwork of absurdities, sometimes at odds with each other, and sometimes even at odds with themselves."ā€”Woods, Thomas E. Jr, A Politically Incorrect Guide to American History. 1414:
to be, or dilayno (short i, like 'city,' dĒlānō in American dictionary pronunciation guides). No stress is indicated, and since the popular pronunciation of Delano is apparently inaccurate the stress may fall on the wrong syllable in the popular pronunciation, too. I'm not familiar with this pronuncaition; could someone clear these two points up?
2035:
Allies in the second world war, it was certainly in 1939. Therefore Roosevelt cannot have been their leader as it says in this article as America did not join the war until 1941. I would appreciate comments on this and if people agree a change to the wording to reflect this fact. A very good article on this topic is available on this Wiki page:

system, which had promised everyone (particularly in the US) prosperity and freedom. In Europe masses of people turned to fascism or communism as alternatives to capitalism. What seemed remarkable at the time was that the American electorate, in the depths of the Depression, rejected these alternatives and elected FDR.
2698:
GNP decreased. That was the delayed result of central planning and excessive taxation. By 1940 there was still 13.5% unemployment. There is no reason for a depression to last 10 years. It's ridiculous. A 10 year depression has one cause: government intervention in what would otherwise be a free self-directed market.
2640:--organization and efficiency emerges unguided by an central planning authority. Government intervention causes inefficiencies in the market system which are then used as justification for further interventions to fix the inefficiencies that the intervention caused. The best "plan" is not to plan in the first place. 1709:ā€™By forbidding the American Army to maintain price, wage and market controls, it literally decreed, as a State Department official put it, economic chaos. In this way the treasuryā€™s view that the extreme disruption of German economy was not in conflict with Allied interests became official American policy. 2792:

This is because two or three authors are repeatedly removing comments added to the article (no edits have been made by this contributor) by those who wish to show alternative points of view to those who would take every opportunity to overstate the flowery bouquet that

Roosevelt compounded the errors of his predecessors and guaranteed that the Great Depression would last through World War II. Described as a "failure of capitalism," the Great Depression was anything but. It was the failure of idiots like FDR who knew nothing about economics but wanted to play with
2153:
lots of merit--FDR in fact simultaneously led the allies and tried to keep the US out of combat. That's been well known for 65 years so welcome to the world of history!! His goal was to advance the USA and most people think he did pretty well--except for the Nazis and Japanese who liked him even less
1845:
This was an important motivational boost to the German-occupied Norwegian people and resistance during WW2. It has since been quoted numerous times. A Google for "Look to Norway" gives 11400 hits. I suppose this was mostly noticed by Norwegians, but I wonder if the speech is totally unknown in the US
1413:
I had never seen that pronunciation before reading this article (generally you hear Delano rendered ). I'm not 100% sure what they're going for here, since ı is not IPA (while i and ÉŖ are), but it's either deelayno (dÄ«lānō, as many American dictionaries would explain it) if 'i' is what ı is supposed

Rjensen has put this in the article: "After January 1934 he then devalued the international value of the dollar by 40% in terms of gold, hoping to stimulate exports. " I'd like to see the exact quote from that source so we can verify if you've interpreted it correctly. Does it actually say that that

for example --that's HIGHLY controversial and experienced a huge amount of edit warring, but now that the information is sourced and footnoted, it's realtively stable and a featured article. If someone wants to know where the information came from, there's a direct link to the source right there. The

I strongly disagree. If someone adds information and adds a source below but doesn't footnote to the source, how is anyone to know which source it is from? If the person that put the edit in is gone, then when someone requests a source for information, nobody knows where the information came from and
584:
No it's not. And, it's not "simple" facts. Few people are aware of these facts. Find just ONE textbook that mentions that Roosevelt proposed a 99.5 percent tax on incomes over $ 100,000 and then issued an order to confiscated ALL income over $ 25,000. It's not common knowledge, therefore it's crucial
477:
First of all, stop your personal attacks. I'm not a "crank." And, as I stated I will go on including sourced, relevant information. That's the way Knowledge (XXG) works. But, you're the one in the wrong. There is nothing trivial about the fact that FDR confiscated private gold (and that he decided on
2822:
Of course it is. Relevant claims have been made to the effect that alternative points of view have been censored. No one "owns" the article. I will remind you that I have not written or edited a word of the article. I am responding out of sympathy for people who are being censored. (signed) Mark

The depression was brought on due to government intervention and then lengthened due to more intervention by FDR (who then created make-work programs that were only "necessary" because his further harming of the economy made them necessary).
2240:
Correct, the picture is significant. I'm not sure if was taken at/around Cairo, Teheran or Yalta. Once facet of significance is WHY would FDR be meeting with a Saudi King, a seemingly (at the time) insignificant player since while oil had been found, it was not being produced during WWII. Clearly
2189:
Oh well...I guess you could euphemistically call what he did "getting things done." You can blow off the claim of hypocrisy too, but you basically agreed he was being a hypocrite. I guess there are a lot of people who agree with the concept that "the ends justify the means." Too bad their weren't

Roosevelt held a speech in 1942 were he among other things stated: "If there is anyone who still wonders why this war is being fought, let him look to Norway. If there is anyone who has any delusions that this war could have been averted, let him look to Norway; and if there is anyone who doubts the

I think it would help a lot if you would stop inserting biased external links in the middle of the article. It is fine that you add information about the the tax raises, however it is completely inappropriate to misuse them to put external link to propaganda material in the web. This is a very clear
446:
The old version was full of useless details (for example the detailed rules regarding gold), and incorrect information (it is not true that 1/3 were unemployed). The WPA was falsely presented as a 1933 program when it was 1935--a very important difference. The CCC employed 250,000, not "millions".
254:
EB is no longer a good reference source. Before the 1980s they had experts write their articles but now most are written by freelancers who do 20-50 articles at a time on a variety of subjects. The freelancers do not pretend to be experts and they don't say what sources they use. So it's no longer
207:
Anyway, I am going offline now, so I will see what you come up with while I am gone. Blanket reversions will be reverted, others dealt with on merit. Since you asked earlier, my source for the US politics sections of the article was Ted Morgan's biography. I do not claim to be a particular expert on

This article could be used as a textbook example of "what's wrong with Knowledge (XXG)." Since I wrote the current version in April 2005, it has steadily deteriorated in quality and coherence under the impact of many random edits. Its grammar, syntax, spelling and punctuation have declined. Sections
2715:
well FDR's 3rd term was even better than the first economically! If you like numbers--FDR had the BEST term in American history, counting 1933-45. Unemployment went from 25% to 2%--how much better do you want? GNP grew at a compound rate of 8% a year no president comes close. (It's a little better
2697:
So you think that the entire banking system would have just collapsed and died? That's unrealistic. And, the first term is not really relevant, because the effects of economic actions typically take a few years to arrive. We saw the Roosevelt Recession in 1938 --unemployment increased to 16.5% and
2217:
I keep on deleting that piture with Roosevelt and the Saudi King but someone keeps on putting it back up. I think every picture on a Wiki article is a picutre that should have significant meaning. But that picutre has no meaning or purpose to be put up their what so ever. Is the person who keeps on
1915:
In 1942 Norway was occupied by Germany. Roosevelt was referring to the unprovoced attack by the Germans, the Norwegian will for peace and democracy and the steadfast resistance from the Norwegian government and people. I suppose it was also a kick against those in the US who still argued against US
1799:
The article quotes freedom and makes it looks like he thought the New Deal was a good idea, but he doesn't. The quote I provided says this: "Roosevelt's policies were very destructive. Roosevelt's policies made the depression longer and worse than it otherwise would have been. What pulled us out of

1166:
The surveys of 100+ historians, political scientists, lawyers and economists rank FDR #3 with little disagreement. That was the right wing survey, no less! The article correctly summarized the surveys of scholars and public opinion. What happened is that the old hatreds of the 1930s have died away.
861:
The only relevant "fact" here is that you are an opinionated anti-FDR crank, one of a long line of such cranks which this article has attracted ever since it was written, which is why I had to rewrite the whole article last year to get rid of all the POV garbage it had become filled with. As I said

I think three sentences should remain: First, "Pressure came from the Democratic governor of California Culbert Olson, the Hearst newspapers and General John L. DeWitt, the U.S. Army Commander in California, whose simple attitude was that "a Jap is a Jap." Opponents of the suggestion were Interior

Well Adam--the Wiki system calls for lots of people to join together. Some of them in fact are experts in American history, but we do welcome any Australian contributions. Your analysis of 1932 Democrats for example is wrong--where did you get it? Check the bibliography again (I provided nearly all
2811:
I'd also make the point that this is a biographical article about FDR, and not an article about the Depression or the New Deal. It should not be used as a battlefield for conflicting schools of economic thought. I haven't read right through this article for a while, but when I do I will remove any
708:
It's being deleted because it is not directly connected to FDR and this is a biography of FDR. Hoover's people wrote that order and FDR only signed it. If anyone thinks it's an important issue they need to FIRST write up a serious article on the matter. In any case it's a New Deal issue not a FDR

blamed on him, anyway. It was caused by people who, like him, did not understand economics, and was made worse by him. It was not the "culmination of a decade of free-market, pro-business Republican rule." You've been reading too many history texts colored by "progressive" propaganda. It took
1156:
People aren't asked to name the worst President and the best President in that survey with the results being weighted. Just because a number of people think FDR was a great President does not mean a number of other people don't consider him an awful one. I realize this is your pet article and you
781:
Do you not realize that there is a difference between the article and the talk page? Of course he was a thief. I can be as POV as I want to be on the talk page. All I'm saying is that it needs to be noted in the article that FDR ordered Americans to turn in their gold for paper money. You need to

POV. B) You better have referencesā€”and I don't mean two or threeā€”if you're going to toss around "most observers." They also better not all be from the "same school" or they can't be "most." I'll guarantee you that Ludwig von Mises was not among themā€”nor, I'll betā€”was he in the minority on that
2873:
The sentence refered to most observers at the time thought, not what you think. In the 1930s most political debate rotated around the question of whether capitalism or socialism was the superior political/economic system. The Depression was seen at the time as a breakdown in the world capitalist
2543:
Hoover's adminstration was definitely not laissez-faire. There was the Smoot-Hawley tariff act --protectionism which brough on a world tariff war, there were huge increases in income tax rates (from 25-63% on the top rate), and a 2 cent tax (30 cents in today's money) was levied against all bank
2366:
Do you honestly think the Great Depression would not have ended if it wasn't for all that intervention? You think the economy would just stayed in a perpetual standstill until the State come to the rescue? That's unfathomable. It never would have been a "Great" Depression in the first place. It
1117:
Many people consider FDR the worst president? well no--no evidence whatever for that. The press does surveys all the time and he comes out #3 in all groups, including conservatives. See for example the right-wing Federalist Society poll in Wall Street Journal. (#3 two years running.) Furthermore

771:
RJII writes (today) of FDR that "He's the one that stole Americans' gold." I suggest RJII is calling FDR a thief--or am I misreading that?. That is POV and is not allowed in Wiki. RJII should be able to explain the importance of the gold issue in a separate article, or else the readers will be

And finally, ""... Anyone who has traveled in the Far East knows that the mingling of Asiatic blood with European and American blood produces, in nine cases out of ten, the most unfortunate results."" -- finishes the remainder of FDR's quote. It's abscence would have drastically sanitized FDR's

Adam's problem is that he distrusts the Wiki system of slow improvements. If he wants to challenge any changes he should do it here before erasing other people's work--that's called vandalism in the Wiki world. So I suggest he go through his changes one by one and see how good they are. 06:53, 7
2528:
I may be missing something here, but FDR didn't take office until March 1933, by which time the depression had already been the Great Depression for three years, and was obviously in a different league to any previous recession. Clearly it was not a self-correcting recession, it was a complete

The "talk" page began with a "what's wrong with Knowledge (XXG)" screed. The "authors" of this article typify what's wrong with Knowledge (XXG). It cannot hope to be unbiased when authoritarians go running around creating tight edits of their version of "the truth" because they're afraid of
2687:
The problem is that when there is a crisis it needs a solution, no matter what caused it. Roosevelt had the BEST record of any president in his first term in: GNP growth and in fall in unemployment. With "no plan" the banks would never reopen--the first one to open would be flooded with cash
1970:
Although the paralysis (whether from poliomyelitis or Guillain-BarrƩ syndrome) had no cure at the time, for the rest of his life Roosevelt refused to accept that he was permanently paralyzed. He tried a wide range of therapies, but none had any effect. Nevertheless, he became convinced of the
1201:
The Wall Street Journal/Federalist Society survery made specific mention of how most other polls tended to lean left (since academics and historians tend to lean that way) so they made a specific effort to have an equal number of conservatives and liberals on the poll. It's not a conservative
872:
I'm not a "crank." Stop your personal attacks. But, you have explained why the article is of such low quality now. And, you're free to remove information, just as I'm free to put it back in. I happen to enjoy Sisyphian tasks, and can continue indefinitely. But, you're wrong to remove sourced,
608:
There have been 500 edits in the last 6 weeks alone, so any requirement that each edit have its own source note would make for a strange article indeed. I think it's better this way, and if people challenge any point then that point can be examined here on TALK and footnoted as needed. The

Roosevelt "took charge of our government when it was comparatively simple, and for the most part confined to the essential functions of government, and transformed it into a highly complex, bungling agency for throttling businesses and bedeviling the private lives of free people. It is no
2488:
actually the article is about Franklin Roosevelt who became president March 4, 1933--when EVERY bank was closed and 25% were unemployed. He did something. Critics say he should have done something else--what??? The critics turn out to be speechless and planless. They have zero to suggest.
1974:
Since this is a major change, and since the new information casts doubt on the previously countlessly repeated and unquestioned assertion that Roosevelt's paralysis was caused by polio, I thought it would be good idea to start a discussion thread to give a chance for others to disagree.
545:
The purpose of putting a link in the middle of the article, is so the information won't be deleted. The link is the source. The source I provided is from a professional historian with a doctorate in history, who specializes in economic history. That's not a violation of an NPOV policy.
2635:
The whole point of laissez-faire capitalism is that there should be no plan. A "plan" is what causes the economic problems. So, of course laissez-faire advocates have no plan. The point is that government cannot plan the economy better than the economy can plan itself. Market systems
934:, in the critics section. This article simply did not fit in the reference of a serious Encyclopaedia. What Trifkovic wrote is not a critic on FDR's politic but a dumb agitation against him. The author compares FDR with Mussolini and writes that FDR is more fascist than Mussolini. -- 1596:
Please donā€™t bring in emotional issues such as the neo-nazis. Ok so they profit from the plan becoming more widely known, but itā€™s not wikipedias purpose to be a tool for political education in correct thinking, rather the goal should be to provide as accurate facts as possible.

Roosevelt funded the war before the US entered--and thereby shaped the policies. Britain would have surrendered without massive US $ $ $ and munitions (as well as ships). USSR got the same help after it was invaded (whether Stalin needed it as much as Churchill is debatable.)

all banks were "closed" in the sense they could not give out money. Most banks kept "open" in the sense that tellers were on duty to explain to people what was going on. also people could come in and use their safe deposit boxes. See detailed stories in NY Times every day.
801:
You don't get it do you? I'm not saying I want it to state in the article that FDR was a thief. That's just my personal opinion. What I am saying is that I want it to state that FDR ordered that Americans turn in their gold for paper money. Stop censorship the information.
739:
If it's really important write an article explaining what happened, tell all sides of the controversy, mention the Supreme Court case, and give some references. If it's not important enough for an article then it should not get mentioned in bio of FDR. remember: NO POV.
416:
Second, "A fight for Japanese-American civil rights meant a fight with influential Democrats, the Army, and the Hearst press and would have endangered Roosevelt's chances of winning California in 1944. Critics of Roosevelt's actions believe they were motivated in part by
1118:
FDR's variance is small--controversial president = Nixon. Now some policies are controversial (esp NRA and AAA, which were the first ones to be dropped), and maybe the Wagner act, but lots of programs are hailed. Milton Friedman for example hails the relief programs.
2725:
Eventually, recoveries happen. I see no reason to think that Roosevelt caused a recovery. How, do you know such a recovery wouldn't have occured much sooner if a laissez-faire president were elected that reduced taxes and regulations? I think that's much more likely.
811:
why mention it in a bio--it belongs under New Deal. There were so many other things happening that were quite important. The president signed thousands of orders written by Treasury, State, War department etc that he did not write. They are not part of his biography.

it's a very important picture. FDR went to the Middle East and promised that if the King supported WW2 the US would protect his kingdom. That promise is still in effect and the cornerstone of US policy in region--Bush did go to war in 1991 to fulfill the promise.
1270:
The statement is literally correct that both liberal and conservative specialists rank him in top 3. Perhaps BHC has a different personal ranking, perhaps he agrees with #3. But no one can dispute the consensus of specialists, which is what Wiki needs to report.
2735:
counterfactual history is not Wiki's realm. Fact is FDR's had the BEST economic record of any president, and the GNP growth in his 12 years exceeds China in last 12 years. Maybe China will turn out to outperform FDR, but it so far has not. So Wiki can say that

Because it's still of political interest today. The odds of a Knowledge (XXG) article attracting POV merchants are directly proportional to those of its topic starting an argument in at least one bar or house of parliament anywhere in the developed world.

In the future, to help shorten the Roosevelt article and provide more information on Roosevelt's paralytic illness, I would be willing to further shorten this section within the main article and start a separate article on Roosevelt's paralytic illness.

FDR did embrace the plan in late 44 but in fact no implementation was ever ordered by him or Truman. the plan was dead by the time the US actually occupied Germany. There is a neo-nazi effort to resurrect it but that does not belong in the FDR article

the reason the von Mises crowd gets little attention is they pay little attention. They did not in 1933 have a plan, they do not in 2006 have a plan. So why should anyone pay attention to them then or now?
