Former President Herbert Hoover's “$ddresses delivered at the dinners given by the Gridiron Club in Washington _which he attended during his admin- «stration are included in a volume en- “titled “Hoover After Dinner.” com- iled by Theodore G. Joslin and pub- ished by Charles Scribner’s Sons. Mr. YJoslin, who was Mr. Hoover's secre- fary, has written the introduction. The speeches which Mr. Hoover ade at the Gridiron Club dinners e witty and at the same time .deal “trenchantly with matters of vast im- ‘portance which were, and are, pressing for attention. Never before have the eches of a President delivered at _Gridiron dinners been published. Under rule of the club ‘“reporters are never resent,” so far as the speeches de- :fivcred by its guests are concerned. “With such an understanding Presidents shave unburdened themselves and dis- “oussed affairs of state with mucn free- dom. While Mr. Hoover was President ‘he attended eight of these dinners and ‘spoke at each of them. He made only ‘four other after-dinner speeches dur- ‘ing his four years in the White House and these Mr. Joslin has included in “Hoover After Dinner.” “King for a Day.” The first of the Gridiron dinners | attended by Mr. Hoover after he be- .came President was at the outset cf “his_administration. in April, 1929. At that dinner a “song to the President” had described him as “A King for a " Mr. Hoover said: “I have no feeling that my position 48 as Mr. Morsell has just told me— ‘A King for a Day’ The gigantic Aorces of our country and our times ‘eould find no solution by kingship. It 48 just a job of bringing about such ‘co-operation as I may between those ‘who lead the forces which ebb and flow through a great people.” He spoke particularly of the need of ‘eo-operation between the Congress and the President, saying: “I am well aware of the difficulties of & program of close co-operation. It is much less heroic for the President to co-operate than to carry the banner of “the people against the bastions of Con- gress. To the extent that each may be helpful to the other. it is our duty to render unselfish assistance.” This was spoken at the beginning of Mr. Hoover's four years in the White House, years in which he was to meet such opposition in Congress from mem- bers of his own political party. Speaks After His Defeat. When he addressed the Gridiron Club in December, 1932, after he had been defeated for re-election, Mr. Hoover, after stressing the need for two strong litical parties in this country, con- ‘tinued: ° “Nor does this preclude that co- operation which far transcends par- tianship in the face of common danger. Tnat great common danger is still in the economic fleld both at home and abroad. During the past two yeirs we have been fighting to maintain the very foundations of our own stabllity. * * ¢ ‘To fulfill these tasks we must maintain a solidarity in our Nation. We must maintain _that co-operation at home which while it maintains party responsi- bility vet rises above partisanship. The new administration has my good wishes; it has the good wishes of every Amer- ican. for in its success lies the welfare of our country.” .. It was in a lighter vein that Mr. Hoover revealed himself during a great part of his Gridiron speeches. For ex- ample, the opening of one of his ad- diesses was as follows: “We have had a highly enjoyable .evening. We guests fully realize that this is the semi-annual occasion when the representatives of the press make their contribution to lofty ideals, to unity and solidarity of national action in the presence of national danger by Tubbing the salt of wit, the vinegar of | hyperbole, and the iodine of satire into the raw wounds of politics. That is all hatural and appropriate, for just as the village gossip satisfles the soul of both Main street and Wall Street, also the gossip and the humor of politics and public life are always more interesting and surely more relaxing than striv- ing to serve one's fellow men—especially after dinner.” .
