Woodrow Wilson: “It is further declared that the current status of war constitutes an \extraordinary emergency\”

I return herewith, without my approval, House joint resolution No. 440.

The price of wheat is a world price; and it is a matter of little moment whether the Canadian wheat goes directly into the markets of the other countries of the world or indirectly through this country.

I regret that I am not able to see in the condition of the world at large or in the needs of the United States any such change as would justify the restriction upon that minimum which is proposed by the House Joint Resolution.

Actual relief can come only from the adoption of constructive measures of a broader scope, from the restoration of peace everywhere in the world.
