Woodrow Wilson actually said...

"The Monroe doctrine is expressly mentioned as an understanding which is in no way to be impaired or interfered with by anything contained in the covenant."

"There is hardly a single raw material, a single important foodstuff, a single class of manufactured goods which is not in the same case."

"I must frankly say that I am unable to understand why such doubts should be entertained."

"May I mention a few of the matters which cannot be handled with intelligence until the country knows the character of the peace it is to have?"
