The Invitation to Secretary Hoover

There is little likelihood Of anything
politically important developing from
the appearance of Secretary Hoover be-
fore the Senate commerce committee IN
connection with the problem OF flood
control. An invitation was yesterday
extended to the Secretary by divided
vote. seven Of the members voting in the
affirmative and six i'll the negative. The
fact that one of the seven was Senator
Willis. with whom Mr.. Hoover is now
contesting for the Ohio delegation to
the Republican convention, may super
fcially appear as of some political sig
nificance. inasmuch as it has been
bruited that the Secretary Of Commerce
is not entirely in harmony with the po-
sition of the President on the food con-
troll question. But an announcement
By Secretary Hoover that he gladly &C
cepts the invitation of the committee
indicates that he has no apprehension
on the score of possible embarrassment.
The food control question Is not
political one and should not become
such. The only issue involved In the
case apart from the question OF en-
gineering methods to be adopted for the
abatement OF the menace to life and
property in the Mississippi Valley is that
Of the ALLEGATION Of the cost. Concern
ing that matter the Secretary OF Com.
merce has nothing whatever TO do. Nor
has he to do with the engineering ques-
tons involved. The former is matter
for the Congress to decide and the latter
is for the engineers Of the Army to rec
ommend and for Congress eventually to
determine.
Mr.. Hoover went into the food area
to conduct the relief works in the dew
astated regions. He did q great job
there. He administered the relief. funds
in conjunction with the Red Cross In a
manner to accomplish a maximum OF
good. For that he was widely acclaimed
In praise OF his efficiency and ability.
His strength as a presidential aspirant
at this time is in large measure due to
the favor with which his services In
this connection were viewed by not
merely the stricken area, but other parts
OF the country as well
An attempt TO embarrass Secretary
Hoover politically by eliciting views re-
garding the economies Of food contro!
at variance with those OF the President
is likely 10 react in his favor. rather
than TO his injury and 1t is TO be hoped
for the sake OF a sound settlement OF
this question. which is Of such vast i'm
portance 10 millions OF American people,
that upon his appearance before the
Senate committee on commerce he will
be regarded in the light OF q consultant
familiar with the situation. rather than
as one who has been placed by his
friends in the field for the Republican
nomination for President
