The article presents information on U.S. politics in the 1920s. Two admirable acts by U.S. President Herbert Hoover are recorded to his credit during his first fortnight in office. By an executive order he has withdrawn all government oil lands from further leasing, except where such leasing is made mandatory by the U.S. Congress. This is a wise and far-sighted policy. It ends the possibility of further oil scandals during Hoover's term. A new policy for the American Indian is said to be in the mind of Ray Lyman Wilbur, the new Secretary of the Interior. What changes Wilbur has in mind are not specified, but success in carrying them out will depend chiefly on whom Hoover appoints as Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
