Woodrow Wilson: “I cannot imagine any man with American principles at his heart hesitating to defend these things.”

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

Such a policy is antagonistic to the fundamental principle of equal and exact justice to all.

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

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