Woodrow Wilson: “I have no thought of suggesting that any political party is paramount in matters of patriotism.”

Actual relief can come only from the adoption of constructive measures of a broader scope, from the restoration of peace everywhere in the world.

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.

We shall not witness an immediate satisfactory adjustment of domestic and international trade relations.

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