Public Opinion Shapes Our Destinies

It Is True Not All Has Been Accomplished That The Earnest Advocates Would Desire, But A Start Has Been Made.

France And Italy Have Not Yet Signed This Treaty Or Agreed To Naval Limitation As Between Those Nations, But I Have Confidence That In Time They Will Do So.

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

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.

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.
