Herbert Hoover: “We know there is neither financial, territorial, nor military imperialism in the American heart.”

We have no desire for offensive armament.

It was unfortunate also that the provision for agricultural relief through the Reconstruction Corporation was omitted.

The Kellogg-Briand Pact, to which we are all signatories, can only mean that the nations of the world have agreed that they will use their arms solely for defense.

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.
