Hoover’s Response Chapter 22, sec. 3

Hoover’s Response As conditions worsened, Hoover hoped to downplay the public’s fears Tried to assure the nation that everything was okay

“ECONOMIC DEPRESSION CANNOT BE CURED BY LEGISLATIVE ACTION OR EXECUTIVE PRONOUNCEMENT. ECONOMIC WOUNDS MUST BE HEALED BY THE ACTION OF THE CELLS OF THE ECONOMIC BODY - THE PRODUCERS AND CONSUMERS THEMSELVES” HERBERT HOOVER

Hoover’s Response To promote economic recovery, Hoover held conferences with labor leaders---convinced them to keep factories open and stop cutting wages Pledges soon failed

Hoover’s Response Hoover then increased public works Asked governors and mayors to increase public works Refused to increase gov’t spending or taxes, which kept it at a small scale

Hoover’s Response Hoover opposed the federal gov’t’s participation in relief He felt that was the responsibility of state and local gov’t

Hoover’s Response Americans blamed Republican Party for the Depression In 1930 elections, Rep. Party lost 49 seats and their majority in the House of Rep.

Riots Situation turned worse when revolts/riots swept nation in early 1930s Hunger marches were held by the American Communist Party throughout the nation

Riots Between 1930-1934, 1 million families lost their farms because they couldn’t pay taxes To raise crop prices, farmers began to destroy their crops by reducing the supply

The Bonus Army In 1924, Congress enacted a $1,000 bonus for each WWI veteran that would be given out in 1945 In 1931, a Texas congressmen introduced a bill that would allow the veterans to collect it early

The Bonus Army As it was coming up for debate in 1932, thousands of vets came to D.C. to help lobby for its passage They were dubbed the “Bonus Army” Numbers swelled to over 15,000

The Bonus Army Bill did not pass Many vets had no money to return home and were forced to stay in the capital Lived in abandoned buildings and built “Hoverville” communities

The Bonus Army Hoover ordered the buildings to be cleared and “Hoovervilles” to be removed Douglas MacArthur in charge of military effort to do the job Turned into a major disaster

The Bonus Army MacArthur had soldiers use bayonets to force people to move Ordered tanks and tear gas to help complete task The press presented an ugly picture to the nation Hoover took responsibility for military actions

Image of Hoover Hoover failed to resolve the crisis of the Depression He did expand the economic role of the gov’t more than any previous president The image of the Bonus Marchers and the lingering Depression shaped the perception of President Hoover
