sorting widespread personal mis-

falsehoods."
II shall say now the only harsh
word that I have uttered in public
office" Hoover said.
II hope it will be the last I shall
have to say.
when you are told that the pres
ident of the United States, who by
the most sacred trust of our ma
ton is the president of all the peo-
pie, man of your own blood and
upbringing, has sat in the white
house for the last three years of your
misfortune without troubling to
know your burdens, without heart
aches over your miseries and casual
ties, without summoning every ave-
nue. of skillful assistance irrespec-
tive of party or view, without using
every ounce of his strength and
straining his every nerve to protect
and help, without using every pos
sible agency of democracy that
would bring aid, without putting
aside personal ambition and humb-
ling his pride Of opinion, if that
would serve-then I say to you that
such statements are deliberate, in
tolerable falsehoods."
