More from Herbert Hoover
I propose that the arms of the world should be reduced by nearly one-third.
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.
I feel very proud of that tribute, and I appreciate very much the attitude of the press about it.
