I can at once refute the statement that the people of the West object to conservation of oil resources.

There are no half measures in conservation of oil.

It [freedom] is a thing of the spirit. Men must be free to worship, to think, to hold opinions, to speak without fear. They must be free to challenge wrong and oppression with the surety of justice.
Herbert Hoover
