Woodrow Wilson: “These great days of completed achievement would be sadly marred were we to omit that act of justice.”

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.

an extraordinary occasion requires the Senate of the United States to convene at the Capitol, in the District of Columbia, on the fourth day of March next, at twelve o'clock noon

I am not convinced that the method proposed is wise, that the benefits, if any, would offset the evils which would result, or that the same or larger advantages cannot be secured without resort to Government intervention.

In my opinion the legislation proposed is not in the public interest and is objectionable.
