Hoover urges ocean defense over continental war
Former President Herbert Hoover argues in a radio address that U S defense must focus on protecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans rather than Europe or Asia. He calls for strengthening Navy and Air Force, warns against invading China or Western Europe by land, and urges cooperation with Britain while opposing large land armies. He asserts atomic power is less decisive than previously thought and stresses avoiding rash global commitments.
