How does paragraph 14 contribute to the development of ideas in the text? (FROM THE COMMONLIT ROARING TWENTIES)

Herbert Hoover was elected the country’s 31st president in 1929. He was a successful mining engineer from Iowa before lending his services to the government. As President Coolidge’s secretary of commerce, Hoover recognized already in 1925 that the economy was overheating as Americans began “buying on margin” and speculating on the soaring stock market. He urged Coolidge to tighten the credit and take other steps to cool the market, but the president and his treasury secretary blocked any attempt at government intrusion into private business. Despite this setback, Hoover went on to handily win the presidential race the following year.

Explanation:

This is an extremely interesting paragraph. It brings to light that Hoover was not really the cause of the roaring twenties coming to an end. He saw clearly what was going on and tried to persuade  Coolidge to do something about it. Coolidge was a Republican and a conservative and believed (from this paragraph) believed that government should limit government regulation. Let the market do that.

So the abuse of the system kept on going. Ultimately it came to pass that all that credit was enough to sink America into the worst depression of her history up to that point.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
