| | German American Corner: HOOVER, Herbert Clark (1874-1964) |
 | | Hoover saw the Department of Commerce as an important support for the expansion of American business overseas, and in the area of foreign commerce the department expanded its operations tremendously at the expense, some felt, of the State Department's traditional role. |
 | | Unfair though it was, in light of Hoover's previous record, this stereotype haunted him, and his party, for the rest of his life, even though his opponents, when they came to power in 1933, wrestled with the same intractable problems until wartime production and employment came to their rescue. |
 | | Hoover believed that the causes of the Great Depression were international and that the remedy for it must be sought in the same fashion. |
