Let us now consider the conditions upon which this extremely interesting proposal has been put forward. I am talking about whether or not the question of the validity of a treaty is just as strong as the intent of the parties to maintain it and keep it. Now the amazing thing was this: We, the United States, were willing to put forward this far-seeing proposal and to abide by it, but without recognizing the revolutionary nature of our own proposition.

It would, I think, be foolish to think that this can happen in the immediate future as the result of any sort of negotiations. We shall then be in a position to proceed with our over-all cooperative plan hand in hand with the majority of the world's peoples. Indeed, why should Russia prefer the unpredictable hazards of war to a continuation of here present profitable fishing in the troubled waters of an uneasy armistice?

After his death in 1932, the Fed became a frequent target of anti-Semites, bank haters and conspiracy theorists.
