DR.. Odcll Lauds Hoover.
Dr. Joseph H. Odell, in a special
article in the Morning News today
entitled Herbert Hoover; the Savior
OF Civilization says:
u would rather be Herbert Hoover
than any man living There are siill
kings with crowns and courts and
tinselled pomp with whom ] would
not exchange bOolhlack's iioh,
There are eminent statesmen who
sleep In beds OF porcupinc quills.
There are society leaders whose open
hands are licked by dogs-and the
people who do the licking know that
they are nothing but dogs.
But when tho world gets into
trouble and millions OF hearts are
breaking and civilization Is falling
down with a terrible Grassland the
universe seems void even OF God
ihpn the world turns to Herbert
Hoover Nothing Ike Il has ever oc-
CURED before in human history. Sen
nacherib. Cyrus. Alexander. Caesar
Napoleon have all beaten humanity
to It's knees in paralysis OF fear. but
Herbert Hoover. a plain American
citizen, lifts humanity 20 It's feet and
lights lis features with hope and
courage
Personally, know little about
Hoover ! have met him. talked with
him and heard his friends talk about
him. I do not know whether he is
Catholic or Protestant. / am not
quite sure whether he is a Repuhli-
can or Democrat. ! haven't the least
idea whether his forhears hailed from
the North or the South, or whether
they came into this country with the
Intermediate Dutch or Scandinavians.
,And what Is more. ] don't care a Nip
about any OF these things. But I do
know this. that Hoover has saved
more human lives. difused more hap
pilcss and made a greater cOntribu-
ton b the race than any living man.
'NNlhen The poor Belgians were |
prostraie and bleeding, 10 was Hoover /
who stood between them and utter
extinction. when the war spread /
and famine and disease grippcd tho
vitals OF hundreds OF millions OF in
nocont victims. 10 was Hoover who
checked the devastation of death.
When the war closed and the scanty
resources OF a broken economic sys-
tenn had TO be gathered and distrl-
huted. Hoover was the only one on
earth who could do it lie is the /
only man In the world who has the
absolute confidence OF an the mutu-
ally antagonistic elements OF human |
society. II / should make a rough /
guess 7 would say that there are /
nifty million people In Europe and |
Asia today who would be cold and |
dead in their caves but for Herbert
Hoover.
no more bitter cry has ever pierced |
our ears and stabbed our hearts than
the fail OF dying children which !
comes across the Atlantic now. Four
million children will die before next
summer Is over unless some one feeds
thcm At present they are little
more than skin-covered skeletons
painting for bread and gasping for
breath. Without a moments hesita-
lion everyone everywhere has turn
ed TO Hoover as the only available
saviour. The Red Cross. the Y. NJ c. |
the Y. w. G. A., the X Of c.. the
Friends Relief Board. The Jewish !
Committee and a sc0re OF other or
eanizations have all agreed TO serve
with and under Hoover TO salvage
the young life n Europe. All hope |
Of saving the Older people has had to /
be given up; but the children. the /
generation which Is the only hope /
az the new and better world that Is /
coming into being, must be rescued. /
YES. I would rather be Hoover
than any king. or potentaie. or
statesman. or naboh. lie can bring
lirhi back into millions of dimmed I
ewes and make LAUGHTER known again /
over half the world. and mix happi-
ness as an ingredient into the future
OF civilization Hoover now has
about four million babies whose food
mus. come from his hand. But IL
viii be an empty hand unless we
mt the food into &C. VIII Delaware
feed fifteen thousand children until
me time OF the next harvest? VIII
delaware saw to Hoover: Go on and
save some OF Gods children. and we
VIII back YOU 90 the limitg How
many people in Delaware will give
Hoover ten dollars 90 save a young
life and restart the world toward
new civilizations How many OF us
who cannot do more Will give Just
one dollar and feed a baby a month";
