...Singapore base. To talk about this country's being provocative is sheer nonsense. Out of 352 warships building or projected, our contribution is 20. We have no lust of conquest; we have no desire for more territory; all we want is peace to protect and develop our trade and the territory we have got.

Before him, we had had some Secretaries who gave only part time work, and no Secretary who remained more than two years. He gave himself with enthusiasm to the task of organizing the constituent societies into one whole, the Phillips Brooks House Association, as it now exists. He did it with...
