Herbert Hoover: Annual Message to Congress

( 1931 ) Commentary by Tom Lansford, University of Southern Mississippi

“Business depressions have been recurrent in the life of our country and are but transitory. The nation has emerged from each of them with increased strength and virility because of the enlightenment they have brought, the readjustments and the larger understanding of the realities and obligations of life and work which come from them.” - Annual Message to Congress
“I am opposed to any direct or indirect government role. The breakdown and increased unemployment in Europe is due in part to such practices.” - Annual Message to Congress
