Herbert Hoover actually said...

"“We cannot base anything in the nature of permanent peace on any feeling of insecurity or having taken advantage of or having created a situation of prejudice to any one government."

"Permanent peace is never based on either taking advantage of or accepting a position of prejudice."

"The technology and the complexities of the problem are such that we need hope for no immediate and quick results."

"The difficulties of finding a basis that will be acceptable to five different nations are great, but they are not insuperable."
