Hoover Years Seen As Mixed Amid Economic Debate
Edward W. Pickard surveys Hoover's first year, split by Senate views. Fess praises White House leadership against economic cycles, while Harrison questions achievements amid farm relief, tariffs, prohibition, and naval talks. Unemployment policy and public works legislation spark further dispute. Prohibition hearing testimony highlights moral and social arguments, with advocates stressing child protection and crime reduction alongside wets citing moral decline. The grain market reacts to Farm Board policy shifts as embargo risks loom without storage space, and Stimson suggests substantial naval reductions amid conference strains.
