I have given my views, speaking for no other man, frankly and fearlessly, and I will stand by them now and in the future.
It was the same old story of injustice and wrong, of might against right.
Confiscation is not only justified by the laws of war, by the practice of many nations, but it is practiced by our enemies in the most obnoxious way.
It is not in my blood and these gentlemen cannot put it there.
