Five times so far President Hoover has cancelled conferences with pressmen. Last week, distracted by Tariff, World Court, Arms Reduction and Republican National Committee, he sent his trusted secretary George Akerson to fill his appointment with the press. This Official Spokesman, strikingly Hooveresque in physical appearance, once a news-gatherer himself (Minneapolis Tribune), had nothing of world import to impart...
