Herbert Clark Hoover:
(West Branch, Iowa, August 10, 1874 – New York, New York, October 20, 1964).
31st President of the United States from 1929 to 1933.
Hoover was already famous for his humanitarian actions during World War I, particularly the provision of food aid to occupied Belgium. From 1921 to 1928, he served as Secretary of Commerce under President Warren G. Harding and, after his death, under his successor Calvin Coolidge. As president, he faced a severe economic crisis that would become known as the Great Depression. As a result, Hoover lost his reelection bid in 1932.
Economic freedom cannot be sacrificed if political freedom is to be preserved.
