The U.S. President Herbert Clark Hoover's speech on Armistice Day, is a blow at disarmament. It praises the London naval agreement as eliminating competition in naval construction, and contains fair words about peace pacts and treaties, together with hints of the possible implementation of the Kellogg-Briand pact. Having made his bows to peace, the President goes on to assert that as a nation "cannot contend that there never is or never will be righteous cause for war in the world," and declares that one may not yet "have complete confidence in the full growth of pacific means or rest solely upon the processes of peace for defense."
