This article focuses on the attitude of the U.S. President Herbert Clark Hoover towards the power resources of the United States. When Ray Layman Wilbur, Secretary of Interior makes final disposition of the power at Boulder Dam the attitude of the Hoover Administration toward the future of the country's power resources will be known. In the present Boulder Darn controversy the issue between public and private development is drawn as clearly as it could be drawn. His allocation, at first glance, seemed to give States and municipalities such generous treatment as to make complaint of his concessions to power companies seem captious.
