The Election of 1932 Angela Brown Chapter 22 Section 5

Hoover blamed depression on “world- wide economic conditions beyond our control” – not U.S. economy Hoover’s Limited Strategy Leaders tried to maintain public confidence in the economy.

Voluntary Action Fails Hoover believed voluntary controls by U.S. business the best way to end economic crisis. Got companies to promise to maintain wage rates. (by end of 1931 had to cut wages) People began to blame Hoover and Republicans.

The Government Acts To create jobs the government spent more on new public buildings (roads, parks, dams) Boulder Dam later Hoover Dam began in 1930 President Emergency Committee on Employment advised local relief programs Hawley-Smoot tariff of 1930 – highest import tax in history (to protect domestic industry from foreign imports) images.google.com/imgres?imgurl= hoover-dam/hooverdam/ azside.jpg&imgrefurl= :&tbnh=88&tbnw=104&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dhoover%2Bdam%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den %26lr%3D%26rls%3DGGLD,GGLD: ,GGLD:en%26sa%3DN

European countries raised tariffs – slowed down international trade Hoover suspended allies’ payments of war debts- Europe’s economies still grew weaker Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) – gave government credit to banks to extend loans (prosperity at top would help the economy as a whole)

Hoover wanted state and local government to handle relief but their programs did not have enough money. Hoover believed in hard-work, self- reliance, balanced budget. Public works projects and direct aid were out of the question to Hoover.

Hoover’s Unpopularity Grows Hoover’s WWI relief work had made him the “Great Humanitarian”. His attitude toward the Depression made him seem cold and hard- hearted. Believed direct aid would destroy self- respect and create a large bureaucracy.

Newspaper showed him feeding his dog on the White House lawn while people went hungry. Finally in 1932 Hoover let the RFC lend money to states for unemployment relief. – too little to late – private charities and local officials could not meet needs. Some economist believed theory of John Maynard Keynes, a British economist. Massive government spending could help a collapsing economy. covers/1965/ _400.jpg

Veterans March on Washington Bonus Army – 20,000 Jobless WWI veterans encamped in Washington D.C. Wanted immediate payment of a pension bonus promised for 1945 House agreed – Senate said no Most went home – a few stayed – Mostly peaceful but a few violent incidents promoted Hoover to call in Army.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur decided to use force to drive the marchers out. Marchers armed with stones, bricks Army used guns, tanks, tear gas Many injured. Hoover was horrified but took responsibility (images on ugly scene would help defeat him)

A “New Deal” for America “FDR” nicknamed by press – grad Harvard – lawyer – NY State Senate, Assist. Secretary of Navy 1920 ran for Vice-President – lost Summer – Polio – never walked without help again Eleanor – TR’s niece – distant cousin of FDR

1920s she worked for public housing legislation, state government reform, birth control, better conditions for working women. FDR Governor of NY ( ) – he represented a spirit of optimism that the country needed ( broad, genile smile) FDR was ready to experiment with governmental roles.

1 st Period Here Wealthy but had a genuine compassion for ordinary people – due to disability Moved by great gap between wealthy and poor As governor – set up unemployment commission, relief administration, first state agencies to aid poor during Depression – promised a “New Deal”

Turning Point: The Election of 1932 It was a historic battle between those who believed the Federal Government could not and should not try to fix people’s problems, and those who felt that large-scale problems such as the Depression required the governments help. Any democrat could have beat Hoover in 1932 – even long term republicans deserted him

He became grim, gave few speeches. (see timeline page 653) FDR won by 7 million popular votes. (urban workers, coal miners, immigrants of Catholic and Jewish descent – supported) Many voted against republicans more than for FDR.

Many had to give up traditional beliefs and accept government help to survive – under FDR’s many new programs “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” FDR Roosevelt_inauguration_1932.jpg

Role of Image in Presidential Campaign In what ways is image unavoidable? In what ways can image mask the truth? Did Hoover’s image mask his real strengths? What was FDR’s image? Would a candidate with a disability be elected today? What about his image appealed to many Americans? What are the images of McCain? Obama?
