`What's Needed Is Leadership
With a Sense of Mission'

Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., candidate for the Democratic Party Presidential nomination, gave this webcast speech in Washington, D.C. on Dec. 12. "If I were the President of the United States, right now, with the people I know in Europe and various other places, and I called for an emergency conference of heads of government and state, on the question of monetary reform, they would come on the next plane. And we would have something worked out, on an emergency basis, to control this crisis, within the next 48-72 hours."
