Woodrow Wilson: “The idea of America is to serve humanity.”

I herewith call your attention to an agreement with Belgium made by the British and French Premiers and myself.

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.

In recommending to you that Congress take appropriate action with regard to this agreement, certain facts should be brought to your attention.

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