...message touched conventionally on foreign relations, taking the Senate's ratification of the Kellogg treaty for granted. Again the cruiser bill was urged ("I wish to repeat again for the benefit of the timid and the suspicious that this country is neither militaristic nor imperialistic"). Farm relief was urged-a revolving loan fund to help market surpluses; more research work, especially by the States.

He knew nothing about politics or human character, neither of these imponderables being tangible matter of action. His chosen advisers were crooked or incompetent (the minister to England, a poker expert, taught the game to British peers, started a fad), his policies pathetic; but grimly he stuck to both.
