Hoover tells Senate navy committee US aid shifted war balance
Washington March 13 Herbert Hoover says food shortages and U boat sinkings left allies critical from April 1917 to September while American aid helped turn the tide but did not win the war. He refused comment on policy and faulted no vessels, noting effort to feed allies remained the key task. Admiral Sims argued the allies would have lost without a robust anti submarine campaign.
