the credit of defeating the plot for
the restoration of the Hapsburgs."
Says the New York World Of the
above: Comparisons are dangerous
and profitless. But great figure
Mr.. Hoover is. This modest mining
engineer who was not known at the
beginning of the conflict, even to his
was not only instrument
al in saving Belgium but in the vaster
field of starving Central Europe his
name is now household word. And
apparently the nation entirely over
looks the fact that in the intervals of
his European mission of mercy and
justice, Mr.. Hoover did a marvellous
work as Food Director in the United
States at war.
ut is a place unique in history that
Mr. Hoover has won. He has made
that place for himself without reward
either of goods or titles, by simply
adapting common-sense principles to
new and huge problems; by swiftly
seeing the thing that had to be done
and saying: Come! Let's do it'll"
This is an American way Of look
ing at things and doing things; so We
like TO think of Mr.. Hoover as a typi-
cal American. But efficiency on a
gigantic scale is not really typical.
Whether or not he is "the biggest man
of the war;" as the Nation raises him,
Mr.. Hoover's self-caryed career is
surely an extraordinary one"
