Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"The sovereignty of the United States will be in no way diminished or jeopardized by such action."

"I hope that at an early date the Senate will advise and consent to the adherence by the United States to the Protocol of Signature of the Statute of the Permanent Court of International Justice."

"The movement to make international justice practicable and serviceable is not subject to partisan considerations."

"The United States has an opportunity once more to throw its weight into the scale in favor of peace."
