A. believed creating jobs would help Americans survive the Depression.

Herbert Clark Hoover was an American engineer, businessman and politician who served as the 31st President of the United States. During the Great Depression, he was defeated in a landslide election in 1932 by Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Hoover favoured efficiency, standardization, business and trade. He attributed the market crash to the lack of trust in the financial system. He wanted to avoid direct government intervention, and believed the best way to improve the economy was by strengthening businesses such as railroads and banks, which in turn would produce more jobs and money. He wanted to discourage people from relying on government help as he believed this would make them dependent.

the captain of a steam ship naturally chooses the shortest route to his destination. since a sailing ship is usually pushed by winds and currents, its captain must find a route where the wind will probably blow in the right direction. tacking, i.e. using contrary wind to pull (sic) the sails, was always possible but wasted time because of the zigzagging required, and this would significantly delay long voyages. the early european explorers were not only looking for new lands. they also had to discover the pattern of winds and currents that would carry them where they wanted to go. during the age of sail winds and currents determined trade routes and therefore influenced european imperialism and modern political geography. for an outline to the main wind systems see global wind patterns.

pilotage or cabotage, in one sense, is the art of sailing along the coast using known landmarks. navigation, in one sense, is the art of sailing long distances out of sight of land.[1] although the polynesians were able to sail the pacific (with great difficulty) and people regularly sailed north and south across the mediterranean, before the time of columbus nearly all sailing was coastal pilotage
