Woodrow Wilson: “We have abundant cause for thanksgiving.”

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

The neutrality of Belgium was guaranteed by the Treaty of London of 1839.

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.

I do not believe that they should be accorded indirectly.
