I recommend the appropriation of the sum of $50,000 to cover the expenses of American participation in the work of the 'Preparatory Commission for the Disarmament Conference.'

I recommend that there be authorized further appropriation of $75,000 to cover the expenses of American participation in the forthcoming activities of the preparatory commission.

I never knew of any preliminary movement on the part of this Government to re-establish diplomatic relations with Russia.

There are a great many Americans that go over there that undertake to say and do things that do not represent the position of the American Government and I think oftentimes result in misleading foreign people and foreign governments.

I don't have Russia particularly in mind, but all the governments of Europe.

We have a great deal of that in Europe.

Of course, our diplomatic relations suffer somewhat, I suppose all countries do, from volunteer activities of people without any authority.

The organization of the American Government is quite different from that of Europe, which probably results in European governments and certainly European people oftentimes being misled.

We ought not to shrink from sacrifice to make that inspired vision a practical reality.

It has been apparent to me that the press has been considerably misled in respect to American activities in that country.

The marines are there simply for the protection of American and foreign lives and property wherever it may be necessary.

The landing force has not molested him in any way.

This Government is not taking any sides, one way or the other, in relation to the revolution.

I don't know as there is much of anything that I can say about Nicaragua.

It is axiomatic that no agricultural and industrial country can get the full benefit of its own advantages without a merchant marine.

Failure to support the Constitution and observe the law ought not to be tolerated by public opinion.

What I desire to advocate most earnestly is relief for the country from unnecessary tax burdens.

Nothing is easier than the expenditure of public money.
