Existing problems demand the thought and quicken the conscience of the country.
To single out for payment a few claims of this large class to the exclusion of all others would, in my judgment, be unjust.
There is no legal obligation on the part of the United States, and no promise, express or implied, for the payment of such claims.
Strong hearts and helpful hands are needed, and, fortunately, we have them in every part of our beloved country.
