| himself in Who's Who has never seen
/ at to put a dollar of his money into

/ his own country. excepting a small
! investment in Colorado. Every one
! of his activities has been in connec-
ton with British capital. in the eX-
ploitation of British concessions.
! He Is Fellow OF the Royal Geo
graphical Society, the Mining and
Metallurgy Society. and the Hakluyt

"Practically Mr.. Hoover's entire
business life has been in partnership
with British financiers. His ideas OF
international relations have been
formed from the British point of
view, and under the 150-year old Brit-
ish policy of gradual colonization and
absorption of the whole world. All
his wealth has apparently been ac'
cumulated through his British asso-
Citations. To elect such a man Presi-
dent of the United States would be
! as great a folly as our entrance with
out reservations into the league of
nations"
