Calvin Coolidge actually said...

"I am sure that all governments and all peoples would choose a system of naval limitation in preference to consciously reverting to competitive building."

"For more than six months, representatives of a score or more of nations have examined from all points of view the problem of the reduction and limitation of armaments."

"It will be a contribution to the success of the preliminary work now going on at Geneva should the great naval powers there agree upon a further definite limitation of naval armament."

"The support of all measures looking to the preservation of the peace of the world has been long established as a fundamental policy of this Government."
