PRESIDENT HOOVER’S WEAKNESS.
“The weakness Mr Hoover has displayed as President is a specific, not a general, weakness. He is weak in the presence of politics and politicians. If intelligence and the capacity to learn are enough, Mr Hoover may master this weakness of inexperience. If it is possible to acquire the art of politics late in life by rational induction, instead of through one’s pores, as the natural politicians like Roosevelt and A 1 Smith acquire the art, then Mr Hoover’s first year may turn out to have been, not a mere series of considerable failures, hut a very intensive, rather expensive, poli-
tical education.”—“Harper’s Monthly.”
