Warren G. Harding: “There is need to magnify the American viewpoint to the alien who seeks a citizenship among us.”

Every obligation consonant with American ideals and sanctioned under our form of government is willingly met.

We ask no one to assume responsibility for us; we assume no responsibility which others must bear for themselves, unless nationality is hopelessly swallowed up in internationalism.

The four-power pact, which abolishes every probability of war on the Pacific, has brought new confidence in a maintained peace, and I can well believe it might be made a model for like assurances wherever in the world any common interests…

After all there is less difference about the part this great Republic shall play in furthering peace and advancing humanity than in the manner of playing it.
