Calvin Coolidge
The Public Record
Calvin Coolidge was the 30th President of the United States, serving from 1923 to 1929. A member of the Republican Party, he was known for his quiet demeanor and strong support for business and limited government. Coolidge's presidency is often associated with the economic prosperity of the Roaring Twenties, and he famously advocated for a hands-off approach to the economy, believing that government should interfere as little as possible in the lives of citizens and businesses.
The Vice-Governor, I think he is called Vice-Governor, was over here last winter.

He is very playful, very interesting, and seems to be very well trained and well behaved.
We expect to provide ourselves with reasonable protection, but we do not desire to enter into competition with any other country in the maintenance of land or sea forces.
It is a notice to everybody that the authority of our Government will be maintained.
Our influence is none the less valuable because we have insisted that it should not be used by one country against another, but for the fair and disinterested service of all.
In time the damage can be repaired, but there are irreparable losses which will go on forever.
Our Government stands also thoroughly committed to the policy of avoiding competition in armaments.
