As I left there it seemed to me that the conference was in a position to do very much excellent work.
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.
There is nothing I can say about the Pan American Conference that occurs to me, that has not already been said.
The whole atmosphere of the Conference is animated with the spirit of democracy and good will.
It is better for the people to make their own mistakes than to have some one else make their mistakes for them.
Our history reveals that in such expectation we have not been disappointed.
We shall have to realize that the highest law is consideration, cooperation, friendship, and charity.
Next to our attachment to the principle of self-government has been our attachment to the policy of peace.
Our most sacred trust has been, and is, the establishment and expansion of the spirit of democracy.
