Adequate Defense Has Been The Catchword Of

There Will Always Be Disputes Between Nations Which, At Times, Will Inflame The Public And Threaten Conflicts, But The Main Thing Is To Educate The People Of The World To Be Ever Mindful That There Are Better Means Of Settling Such Disputes Than By War.

It Is Idle To Say That Nations Can Struggle To Outdo Each Other In Building Armaments And Never Use Them. History Demonstrates The Contrary, And We Have But To Go Back To The Last War To See The Appalling Effect Of Nations Competing In Great Armaments.

I Regret Very Much To Hear So Many People, Many Of My Own Countrymen, Predicting War, Stating That Europe Is Preparing And Arming For Such A Conflict.

I Share The Opinion Of Those Of Broader Vision, Who See In The Signs Of The Time Hope Of Humanity For Peace.

If We Will Maintain Our Hope And Confidence In The Genius Of Our People, They Will Work Out This Problem, And Their Ability And Industry Will Bring Us Back To Normal Conditions.
