If the world is disarmed, and remains disarmed, there will be no more world wars.

First, we could have defied both of them and could have gone to war against both of these nations for this violation of international law and interference with our neutral rights.

In my judgment, if we had pursued this course, the zones would have been of short duration. England would have been compelled to take her mines out of the North Sea in order to get any supplies from our country.

I am bitterly opposed to my country entering the war, but if, notwithstanding my opposition, we do enter it, all of my energy and all of my power will be behind our flag in carrying it on to victory.

To my mind, what we ought to have maintained from the beginning was the strictest neutrality. If we had done this, I do not believe we would have been on the verge of war at the present time.

The reason given by the President in asking Congress to declare war against Germany is that the German government has declared certain war zones, within which, by the use of submarines, she sinks, without notice, American ships and destroys American lives.

Third, we could, while denouncing them both as illegal, have acquiesced in them both and thus remained neutral with both sides, although not agreeing with either as to the righteousness of their respective orders.

We ought to disarm Germany completely.

The people can change Congress but only God can change the Supreme Court.

Great wealth took possession of the government. It was reflected in Mr. Harding's selection of a cabinet.

I think we ought to take the world as it is and not as we would like to have it.

To my mind, what we ought to have maintained from the beginning was the strictest neutrality. If we had done this, I do not believe we would have been on the verge of war at the present time.

Teapot Dome involved the conservation of the oil resources of the United States, especially those situated upon the public lands.

The reason given by the President in asking Congress to declare war against Germany is that the German government has declared certain war zones, within which, by the use of submarines, she sinks, without notice, American ships and destroys American lives.

Men are often biased in their judgment on account of their sympathy and their interests.

Fourth, we might have declared an embargo against the shipping from American ports of any merchandise to either one of these governments that persisted in maintaining its military zone.

First, we could have defied both of them and could have gone to war against both of these nations for this violation of international law and interference with our neutral rights.

There is not much danger of the smaller nations if the big nations will behave.

If the world is disarmed, and remains disarmed, there will be no more world wars.

Great wealth took possession of the government. It was reflected in Mr. Harding's selection of a cabinet.

During practically all of my public life, I have been a sincere advocate of an agreement between the leading nations of the world to set up all the necessary international machinery that would bring about a practical abolition of war between civilized nations.

No nation ought to keep a navy larger than is necessary to do police duty.

I am bitterly opposed to my country entering the war, but if, notwithstanding my opposition, we do enter it, all of my energy and all of my power will be behind our flag in carrying it on to victory.

The constitution ought to specifically state that every nation is left entirely independent and supreme in its internal affairs, such as regulating emigration and all other similar matters.

The first war zone was declared by Great Britain. She gave us and the world notice of it on the 4th day of November, 1914. The zone became effective Nov. 5, 1914.

And when it is done, we ought to follow the example by disarming ourselves.

We ought to disarm Germany completely.

In my judgment, if we had pursued this course, the zones would have been of short duration. England would have been compelled to take her mines out of the North Sea in order to get any supplies from our country.

Third, we could, while denouncing them both as illegal, have acquiesced in them both and thus remained neutral with both sides, although not agreeing with either as to the righteousness of their respective orders.

Three Presidents served under Andrew Mellon in his 12 years in office.

The people can change Congress but only God can change the Supreme Court.

Lincoln would be just like me. He wouldn't know what the hell to do.
