Abstract

The Hoover Hippodrome

This article presents information on U.S. President Herbert Hoover. No amount of glossing or suppression can conceal the fact that at last the Administration of Herbert Hoover is in serious difficulty. The number and gravity of its troubles may not be sufficient at this time to warrant free use of the phrase, "One-Term Herbert," recently attributed to an Old Guard cynic, but they are enough to inspire genuine apprehension among the President's friends, and to explain some of panicky maneuvers recently executed at the White House. Moreover, the Administration now faces the possibility of failure or disappointing compromise at the naval conference, with the added knowledge that any measurable success would alienate some of its most powerful supporters.
