	In his day, the utopians, who thought that mankind could be perfected if only they could run things, looked across the ocean for experiments in central planning, such as the Soviet Union's five-year-plans.

	Hoover said, "We have many citizens insisting that we produce an advance "plan" for the future development of the United States. They demand that we produce it right now. I presume the "plan" idea is an infection from "the five-year-plan", through which Russia is struggling to save itself from 10 years of starvation and misery.		Hoover said,

I presume the "plan" idea is an infection from "the five-year-plan", through which Russia is struggling to save itself from 10 years of starvation and misery.

	Some groups believe this plan can only be carried out by a fundamental, a revolutionary change of method. Other groups believe that any system must be the outgrowth of our character and traditions. They believe that we have established certain ideals over 150 years, upon which we must build rather than destroy.

	Shall we abandon the philosophy and beliefs of our people for 150 years by turning to a belief that is foreign to our people? Shall we establish a giveaway from the federal treasury? Shall we undertake federal ownership and operation of public utilities instead of regulating them?

	Our immediate task as a people is to defeat the forces of economic disruption that have swept over us. The duty of government in these times is to use its agencies and influence to strengthen our economic institutions; to inspire cooperation in the community so as to keep up good will and keep our country free from disorder and conflict; to cooperate with the people so that the deserving shall not suffer; and to strengthen the foundations of a better and stronger national life." -unquote from the late President Hoover.
