Herbert Hoover actually said...

"I propose that the arms of the world should be reduced by nearly one-third."

"Provided further, That the charge for the issue of an original passport shall be $9."

"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."

"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."
