It is nowhere recorded that Mr Hoover has said at any time since March 4 1933 "I do not choose to run" Until if when or as he gives utterance to some such words he may be assumed to remain the titular head of his party and because of this what he says in this his third book assails the ear somewhat as thunder rumbling down from high Olympus This is remarked not as the adumbration of a political analyst but rather to emphasize that the publishers are assured of a wide reading for the work and that between now and the time for formulating battle plans for the 1936 contest it will serve as a handbook for quotations both by conservatives and liberals It seems rather certain that everyone who follows the drift or partisan controversy will be pretty much in the dark without this "authorized version" A dozen years ago appeared Mr Hoover's "American Individualism" a "survey of the American 'system' from the point of view of the individual" which was written "after seven years of intimate and poiynant participation in the backwash of war and revolution" The Hoover philosophy has nut' changed one whit since those days He views the possibility of "the neiiation of the whole philosophy of liberty" as he sees the goddess shackled by Washington bureaucracy and regimentation Against this he rises in vehement protest "not against reform not at emergency actions but at the threat of the eclipse of liberty" He assails "the daily dictation by government in every town and village every day in the week of how men are to conduct their daily Irves" He calls for a halt in "'the most stupendous invasion of the whole spirit of Liberty that the nation has 'witnessed ince the days of colonial Amirica" It is not to be thought that the book ncrt-ee- d torch-bearin- Is wholly critical it also considers "constructively the method through which alone we can solve national problems" He says "If confidence were restored in the securities of liberty we should move forward Irresistibly" but elsewhere he remarks: "Those amateur sociologists who are misleading this nation by ignoring the biological foundations of human action are as far from common nse as an engines who ignores physics In behalf of the in brjdge building "profit motive" he asserts that for "at least the rlejct several generations we as dare not a component of motive forces to initiawholly-abando- tive to i° 1 -
