the greatest examples and opponents of American way
of fe-the and greatly beloved Herbert Hoover
His youth and young manhood were spent in period
when the testing of democratic system proved s sound
through great financial depression With the strong
qualities of individual initiative plus the spiritual strength
which were the very fiber of our nations being this
nomc depression conquered. An followed of
prosperity This depression occurred in the
early 1905
was just such experiences this which helped mold
the character of this young and with surdiness OF
arked integrity he proved for himself those qualities of
initiative which he has many times referred to
a. rugged individualism. He knew that the term
synonymous with American way of life
Everyone knows that the depression of the early
thre. of this century was aftermath of World War
with infatonary period and wild speculation which
produced it, and it attributable to that great
and wise statesman Herbert Hoover, who President of
the United States when the depression IF ONLY HE
COULD HAVE SERVED ANOTHER TERM, AND HAVE
BORNE WITNESS TO A NATURAL READJUsTMENT
OF THE NATIONS ECONOMY-SUCH AS HAD TAKEN
PLACE IN ALL FORMER FINANCIAL REcEssIoNs-
WE COULD HAVE HAD MANY EVILS AvERTED.
Here in the deep South that time for instance
millions of acres of COTTON FIELDS, LITERALLY
"wHITE FOR HARVEST" WITH THE COTTON GOING
TO WASTE UNPICKED, BECAUSE OF SHORTAGE
OF WORKERS-THOUSANDS OF MEN REFUSING TO
HARVEST THE COTTON CROP. THEY WE'RE ION
RELIEF" AT THE HANDS OF THE GOVERNMENT!
THEY PREFERRED IDLENESS BECAUSE THEY COULD
EXIST ON THE DOLE BEING GIVEN THEM. HERE
WAS ONE OF THE MOST FLACRANT EXAMPLES OF
UNwIsDoM EVER WITNESSED BY FREE PEOPLE
AN INVITATION TO CONTINUE IN IDLENESS, WHEN
THERE WAS OPPORTUNITY TO WORK.
IN THIS SAME PERIOD RIGHT AFTER THE
HOOVER ADMINISTRATION, THERE AROSE A
GREATER AND GREATER DEMAND FOR GOVERN
MENT SUBSIDIES Then into being the Social
Security system which unwttngly retirement

In the train Of these shots in the arm'-ths pump
printing acclaimed by those of benevolent, yet
mistaken, motive-came many other socistc practices.
Demand for socialized medicine of these-and
there totalaran methods used in the arbi-

of many American cities This method in nearly all
carries it's plan obtaining the consent of Mayors
City with idea whatever Of letting
the citizens upon whether not their drinking

Those who hold the ideals of that great rugged indi

years toward helping bring back nation
fuller comprehension of just what rugged indvidussm
means the dscardng of socasc trends and practices,
and the restoration of American of fendividual
initiative and free enterprise.
May all of us continue to find Inspiration in the exam
