Food and Drink in Washington
Anderson, Paul Y. | February 11, 1931 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the conflict between Congress and the U.S. President Herbert Hoover over appropriating money to feed the victims of drought and unemployment. This conflict is rapidly degenerating into a blood feud in which compromise will be impossible. Ridden by that curious fatality which seems to attend all his major decisions, Hoover has elected to stand and fight on ground which cannot be defended. Some subjects are debatable, but a satisfactory apology for starvation has yet to be discovered.
