Warren G. Harding: “In our pursuit of markets we must give as well as receive.”

It will be helpful to ourselves and it will improve conditions among our debtors if funding and the settlement of defaulted interest may be negotiated.

I hope a way will be found to make for flexibility and elasticity, so that rates may be adjusted to meet unusual and changing conditions which can not be accurately anticipated.

We ought not to find these partisan lines obstructing the expeditious solution of the urgent problems of peace.

We saw partisan lines utterly obliterated when war imperiled, and our faith in the Republic was riveted anew.
