Hoover's Word
to Business Editors

Chicago, Oct. Eff problems con-
fronting the country today ARE con-
sidered as human and not as ma
terial questions we can find their
solution" Herbert Hoover. secretary
of commerce said in telegram to-
day to National Business Editors,
convened here for two day conven-
ton. We have indeed great prob
lens yet to solve" Mr.. Hoover's
message said. 1--WE are dealing with
questions of railways, farms, shops
and of instruments of commerce and
industries, but in the background of
every persons mind there is the fact
that we are dealing not with me-
chanical things but that we are con-
cerned with the problems Of men,
women and children.
"Those several organizations with
in the department of commerce
which we have developed are con-
cerned in this spirit and it is a fine
augury of our industrial future to
know that the programs and pur-
poses of these various departmental
activities have come from our manu-
facturers, merchants and engineers
themselves"
