Hoover Against Troop Sending Sparks Senate Debate
Lucius D. Clay, former U S commander in Germany, told the Senate foreign relations and armed services committees that western Europe can field enough defense forces in a year to deter Russia if current rearming and American troop support continue full speed ahead. He urged sending American troops to Europe without limits and challenged Herbert Hoover’s view that western Europe is not ready to defend itself. Hoover argued against US troop deployment without Europe’s proven readiness.
