Herbert Hoover actually said...

"I am greatly shocked and saddened by the death of your brother, George Washington Ochs Oakes."

"Independence tomorrow without assured economic stability would result in the collapse of Philippine Government revenues and the collapse of all economic life in the islands."

"I am confident that it is already performing a considerable function in the restoration of confidence, and that it has made some direct accomplishments more specifically."

"Independence of the Philippines at sometime has been directly or indirectly promised by every President and by the Congress."
