Woodrow Wilson: “For us there is but one choice.”

I am not convinced that the method proposed is wise, that the benefits, if any, would offset the evils which would result, or that the same or larger advantages cannot be secured without resort to Government intervention.

For many months there has been a demand that war agencies should be abolished and that there should be less Government interference with business.

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.

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