Government

We live in a republic.

This Government does not consider that any new agreement is necessary to give effect to the conditions and reservations on which the United States is prepared to adhere to the Permanent Court.

What I am especially solicitous about is the financial and economic condition of the Government.

I have already expressed several times to the conference my appreciation of the very fine work that the present Congress is doing.

There is no intention, so far as I know, to make any appeal for gifts of Colonial furniture for the White House.

I am undertaking to provide for it to be carried on as a farm for the next year.

I don't think any such invitation has come.

I think your offices ought to provide each one of you with a copy of that book.

It means that we shall have to prune somewhat.

I have been exceedingly pleased with the cooperation I have had from the present Congress.

But the responsibility for legislation is theirs.

I think the comment has already been made, but perhaps it won't do any harm if I reiterate that up to date this has been the most efficient Congress that we have had for a great many years.

I stated my position in my first message to the Congress.

I haven't seen the protest.

The conditions under which employment is undertaken in the Postal Service and those under which it is undertaken in business are not altogether alike.

It is very delightful to feel my association with that government and with this city.

I respectfully urge upon Congress this appropriation.

In our country, in this Government and under our Constitution there is no union of Church and State, but rather a declared separation of them.
