Woodrow Wilson: “I am very much obliged to you for coming out.”

For many months there has been a demand that war agencies should be abolished and that there should be less Government interference with business.

public interests require that the Senate of the United States be convened at twelve o'clock on the fourth day of March next to receive such communications as may be made by the Executive.

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

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.
