Woodrow Wilson: “Europe is in no position at the present time to ship gold to us nor could we contemplate large further imports of gold…”

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.

The price of wheat is a world price; and it is a matter of little moment whether the Canadian wheat goes directly into the markets of the other countries of the world or indirectly through this country.

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.

The imports of wheat have come mainly from Canada and Argentina and have not competed with the domestic crop.
