I Do Not Hesitate To Say That

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.

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.

I Have Often Heard It Said That The United States Is Isolated And Is Not Interested In European Affairs. I Assure You That This Is Not The Case.

I Do Not Hesitate To Say That The Limitation On Naval Craft Between The Great Naval Powers Was Too High.

I Further Value This Gift As It Gave Me An Opportunity To Accept This Distinguished Honor In A Country So Devoted To This Cause And Whose History Marks A Wonderful Chapter In World Development.
