"It is also due to your foresight that agriculture has not gone into the decline which was so disastrous to American farmers after World War I."

"You have justified abundantly the confidence which I reposed in you."

"Your contribution in devising means and furnishing provisions for the relief of hunger and want in countries devastated by the war has been of highest importance."

"I had hoped that conditions would permit you to continue longer in your present post of responsibility."
