President Hoover for issuing so many
statements he keeps the people un-
certain about the future"
1.-THE presidents statements have
done more in the last six months to

get encouraged. he issues another
double barreled statement and gets
them unsettled again.
If he were to refuse to issue a
statement for 30 days would guar

his judgment, but his patriotism ex-
cept from a selfish standpoint"
Asked II he thought the president
was campaigning" Garner replied:
1.-THE statements at least indicate
that he wants to keep his name be-
fore the people"
HE has the idea Of propaganda SO
strongly In his mind that he can't
even let the department Of justice
give out statement that 1t Is goins
to help without signing 1t himself. VI
Goruer asserted "T3e shou1d never
have issued the statement yesterday
about the Lindbergh case. No presi-
dent should"
