Woodrow Wilson: “I can do nothing less.”

We have been vigorously building up a great merchant marine and providing for improvement of marketing in foreign countries by the passage of an export trade law.

Clearly, this is no time for the erection here of high trade barriers.

I think, therefore, that the bill should not become law and that the tract should be made a Federal bird reservation for the protection of the birds which now frequent the lands.

If there ever was a time when America had anything to fear from foreign competition, that time has passed.
