Hoover Keeps Out of War as Rallying Force at Convention
Former President Hoover urged keeping the United States out of war in a forceful address to the Republican National Convention.

He remains a dark horse candidate with strong support if Willkie fails to derail the Hoover bid. Germany reportedly offers Brazil goods by September, hopeful Britain will object.
