More from Herbert Hoover
The time has come when we should cut through the brush and adopt some broad and definite method of reducing the overwhelming burden of armament which now lies upon the toilers of the world.
This reduction should be carried out not only by broad general cuts in armaments but by increasing the comparative power of defense through decreases in the power of the attack.
We must make headway against the mutual fear and friction arising out of war armament which kill human confidence throughout the world.
I am deeply grateful for the highest honor that the party can confer.
