...You are engaged on a double task, Recovery and Reform recovery from the slump and the passage of those business
and social reforms which are long overdue. For the first
speed and quick results are essential. The second may be
urgent too, but haste will be injurious, and wisdom of long
range purpose is more necessary than immediate
achievement. It will be through raising high the prestige of
your administration by success in short-range Recovery, that
you will have the driving force to accomplish long-range
Reform. On the other hand, even wise and necessary Reform
may, in some respects, impede and complicate Recovery. For
it will upset the confidence of the business world and
weaken their existing motives to action before you have had
time to put other motives in their place. It may over task
your bureaucratic machine, which the traditional
Individualism of the United States and the old spoils system have left none too strong And it will confuse the thought and aim of yourself and your administration by giving you too much to think about all at once
