{{quotebox-float|"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for [[capitalism]].

I helped make [[Mexico]] and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make [[Haiti]] and [[Cuba]] a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen [[Central America]]n republics for the benefit of [[Wall Street]]. I helped purify [[Nicaragua]] for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902- 1912. I brought light to the [[Dominican Republic]] for the [[American]] sugar interests in 1916. I helped make [[Honduras]] right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In [[China]], in 1927, I helped see to it that [[Standard Oil]] went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given [[Al Capone]] a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three [[continent]]s.}}
