I am determined that stringent economy shall govern all peacetime operations of the Government.
The foreign policy of this country transcends in importance any other question confronting us.
We must act in time--ahead of time--to stamp out the smoldering beginnings of any conflict that may threaten to spread over the world.
Our foreign policy must not be wrecked on the rocks of partisanship.
