food administration, a special wartime agency created at the request of woodrow wilson, to stimulate american food production and create surpluses for export to allies. food would win the war, became hoover's slogan. by the autumn of 1918, the usa had become a cornucopia, beyond which, british, french and italians could draw with increasing confidence. five days after the armistice in 1918, president wilson dispatched hoover to europe to take charge of food distribution to a continent careening towards disaster. by now, not only belgium was the nation at risk. at the end of world war i, famine, disease and revolution swept across most of europe. it threatened to sunder a civilization already traumatized by the war to end all wars. while wilson and other allied leaders struggled to draft a peace treaty in paris, hoover, as the director of relief and chairman of a new government agency called the american relief administration, organized the dispersement of food to hungry people, and helped, thereby, to quell the danger of communist revolution in central europe. in many places, conditi

in 1958, he published a book entitled "the ordeal of woodrow wilson," a remarkable account of president wilson's diplomatic struggles in paris in 1919. and of hoover's concurrent battles in paris as american relief administrator. that same year, 1958, at president eisenhower's invitation, hoover represented the united states at the brussels world's fair. people of belgium honor the man who had saved so many of their lives during the .eal of 1914 to 1918 he, in turn, reflected on that occasion about the historical significance of the crv. it had brought lasting benefits to the world. it had pioneered the methods of relief for great famines. it had developed a system for maintenance and rehabilitation of children during war and other upheavals. between 1959-1964, as hoover neared the age of 90, he published a four volume history of the american-led enterprises in compassion, as he called them, that had brought food relief to tens of millions of people in the era of the two world wars. he entitled his massive narrative "an american epic." he wanted his fellow americans to know the truth ab

but what do you make of that when the phrase the british government uses is going for growth yeah woodrow think of the phrase well. this is whole thing about growth and progress which has infected a modern culture and our politicians tongues. that that seems to be the most important thing some kind of economic growth. for me the only thing that now in terms of the situation we're in with the planet and the environment and now some top scientists are saying we've got 5 years to radically turnaround the the carbon emissions in the climate crisis i mean growth. is caring for the whole it's looking after our the wellbeing of our young people the well being of our environment that's growth that's progress and everything else in the name of growth and progress. actually goes against that they would have you think when you saw the beaches of extinction or billions of drill and. i'm grateful for it we have it's like this is a situation that needs to change and is to change not in 23 years time it needs to change now and i'm encouraged i'm deeply moved by by the people that are saying no and you k

for hoover, and just like for woodrow wilson and most western statesmen at the time, bolshevism was a symptom of people in distress. thus, fighting bolshevism itself was in fact humanitarian. now, hoover hoped that the a.r.a. example of its energy, efficiency, these posters were distributed in the tens of thousands across soviet russia, so the image of american benevolence is spread. he hoped that would serve to further discredit what he called the foolish soviet economic system, in the eyes of the soviet people, and perhaps serve to catalyze the inevitable political healing process. as i said a little earlier, and i am going to bring this up in a different context, soviet officials from lenin on down for were very aware of this. so they set up a hierarchial system of secret police minders that were sent from moscow into the provinces, and even down to the town and village level, to keep an eye on the americans, ostensibly to assist, but often times it ended up being obstruction or just getting in the way. local soviet officials also kept a close eye on the americans. this is in a pla

a footnote, hagel and max weber and woodrow wilson. so the united states has been moving down this path which would make reference to in fits and starts for an initial progressives through the new deal expansions, but the administrative state was not really institutionalized in any permit wait until the great society and its progeny. if all that time and until that time, america was centrally governed under the constitution but was administratively decentralized at the state and local level. when administration is nationalized it creates a new source of conflict between executive and legislative branches. so at first progressives like to look at the presidency. woodrow wilson, teddy roosevelt. and present pushed congress to expand administrative powers. congress was reluctant to do so. there remained at event of decentralized administration. but congress seeing the writing on the wall adapter. between 1968-1978, passed more regulatory legislation that in all previous history. delegating the numeral legislative powers in the form of bro
