"THE PRESIDENT. It seems a sad thing to bring you all here from really a good day, but I haven't a thing on my mind."

"MRS. HOOVER joins me in extending deepest sympathy to you and your children in the passing of Mr. Bok."

"The Nation has lost a most distinguished and useful citizen whose life must ever be an inspiration to its youth."

"I am sure the whole Nation bids Godspeed to the American delegation that leaves tomorrow for the London Naval Conference."
