The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit.
Explanation:
This is the sentence that best explains how it is that Roosevelt has planned to fix the nation's financial systems. In this excerpt, we learn what Roosevelt thinks about the nation's finances. We learn that he believes that bankers are irresponsible people who only care about profits. He also believes that they solve all their problems through the lending of more money, or through dishonest exhortations. Roosevelt believes that the best way to solve this system is by applying other social values that are more noble than greed and monetary profit.
Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence.
