The business depression is the dominant subject before the country and the world today.
Herbert Hoover
The Public Record
Herbert Clark Hoover was the 31st President of the United States, serving from March 4, 1929, to March 4, 1933. A member of the Republican Party, Hoover was born in Iowa but later moved to California. Before his presidency, he served as the Secretary of Commerce from 1921 to 1928, where he focused on promoting economic growth and efficiency. Hoover was also known for his humanitarian efforts during World War I, leading relief efforts in Europe and earning a reputation as a skilled administrator.
MRS. HOOVER and I want to express our appreciation for this beautiful greeting.
Great as have been our difficulties no man can contrast them with our experiences in previous great depressions or with the condition of other important industrial countries without a glow of pride in our American system and a confidence…
It is most kind of you to come to the station to greet Mrs. Hoover and me this morning.
This important Federal project is now nearing the stage of completion.
Our people are working harder and are resolutely engaged, individually and collectively, in overhauling and improving their methods and services.
I do wish to express to you the gratitude of Mrs. Hoover and myself for the kindliness and cordiality of your welcome.
It is most kind of you to give to Mrs. Hoover and me this courteous and beautiful welcome.
It is upon him also that we lean for leadership in every civic movement-political, economic, and social.
Under the guidance of Divine Providence they will return to us a greater and more wholesome prosperity than we have ever known.
For the first time in history the Federal Government has taken an extensive and positive part in mitigating the effects of depression and expediting recovery.
