Herbert Hoover: “But otherwise I haven't anything at all today.”

Our Army, including the National Guard and all other reserves, has already been reduced much below the European standard 'police component.'

These expenditures cannot be recovered; they must be met by the taxpayer now or in the future.

I earnestly hope that this may be done.

We must make headway against the mutual fear and friction arising out of war armament which kill human confidence throughout the world.
