Despite his charitable preoccupations, Hoover still
engaged in free enterprise. On Dec. 7, 1919, he and his
partner Julius H. Barnes had bought the Washington
Herald; it was later acquired by the Patterson-McCormick
family, and still later, by Eugene Meyer, who promptly
closed it down. Barnes also bought the Penobscot Paper
Co. for $750,000 in 1919; he happened to have some
extra cash on hand. The New York Times Jan. 28, 1920
[reported] that Col. House was busily developing a boom
at Austin, Texas for Hoover as President, with the aid of
some British friends. The Times further noted Jan. 28,
1920 that the British Government denied that Lord Grey
was taking part in the Hoover boom.
At a dinner at the Hotel Commodore, April 23, 1920,
Julius Barnes and Herbert Hoover were the guests of
honor. The keynote speaker announced that the name of
Herbert Hoover was "known throughout the civilized
world".
THE HOOVER LIBRARY OF W ARTIME DOCUMENTS
From the time that White, Gilman and Wilbur persuaded
Hoover to gather documents for the Hoover Library,
much support was made available from official sources.
Even then, no one was sure just how World War I had
gotten started. It was to someone's interest to see to it
that as many pertinent and secret documents from the
warring powers should be gathered in one place, gone
over, and, if necessary, secluded from prying eyes.
