Herbert Hoover: “I have just signed the Wagner bill for advance planning of construction and Federal works with a good deal of pleasure.”

I propose the adoption of the presentation already made at the Geneva Conference for the abolition of all tanks, all chemical warfare, and all large mobile guns.

Any study of many of these public works provisions will indicate plainly their pork-barrel characteristics.

Our Army, including the National Guard and all other reserves, has already been reduced much below the European standard 'police component.'
