Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"It is hereby ordered that the lands hereinafter described be, and the same are hereby, restored to naval petroleum reserve no. 2, California."

"The Government of the United States has neither partiality for nor prejudice against any faction or individual in Cuba."

"We earnestly hope that in the near future through a spirit of compromise on all sides, the Cuban people themselves will reach a peaceful agreement."

"We have followed the course of events in Cuba with a most friendly concern and with a consistent desire to be of help to the Cuban people."
