    In the above video, the unidentified man sitting at the desk looking through papers is Herbert Hoover, an American philanthropist who later became President of the U.S. He was working on a war relief project at the time the film was shot.

    You can see the exact same clip at the 6:10 mark of a YouTube video that is titled \"Herbert Hoover Biography\".
