...national commander of the American Legion, one Edward A. Hayes, has again attacked Pacifism, Communism, un-Americanism (whatever that may be), and Radicalism.

Hungry U. S. citizens had always been fed by the private charity of their fellows. In Herbert Hoover's own experience as relief administrator that charity had overflowed to care for hungry Belgians, hungry Russians, hungry Americans caught in the Mississippi flood. Remembering the past...
