[Herbert Hoover, as quoted in the Boston Herald, Massachusetts]

I think I may say that I have witnessed as much of the horror and suffering of war as any other American. From it I have derived a deep passion for peace. Our foreign policy has one primary object, and that is peace. We have no hates; we wish no further possessions; we harbor no military threats. The unspeakable experiences of the great war, the narrow margins by which civilization survived from its exhaustion, is still vivid in men's minds. There is no nation in the world to-day that does not earnestly wish for peace—that is not striving for peace.
