descent follow ideals, principles and causes. They
obey the dictates of their own hearts and minds
Just stop for moment and consider having IN
mind all the vicious and false propaganda against
everything of German origin Of German blood
during the entire period, what could more
strongly affect the heart and mind of Americans OF
German descent than statements that Herbert
Hoover had been and still was pro-British or pro
ally, anti-German and un-American and that during
his food administration he had told starving German
women and children to go to hell and denied them
food What could be vicious poisonous and
misleading propaganda if that in fact is not true
What next could most affect Americans Of Ger
man, Irish Norwegian, Swedish and Danish descents
than statements that Herbert Hoover was responsible
for and in favor of the so-caled national origins i'm
migration act which is an insult to those Americans
because it in effect says that Americans of those
deseents not desirable citizens and it cuts down
very materially the quotas from England and certain
other countries? What could be more vicious and
misleading propaganda if in fact it is false and
Herbert Hoover not only had not been In favor OF
that act but the contrary had prevented it from
becoming effective and considered it wrong
As stated recently have made an investigation.
We have searched documentary records and evidence
and have interviewed many prominent Americans
from various sections of the United States who have
been in position to know of the actual facts.
We shortly will send out conclusions and in this
and succeeding issues of The Progressive Magazine
the facts will be submitted which prove our con-
illusions. We ask any of you who are ant-Hoover
to consider that prior to the investigation referred
to we were most strongly anti-Hoover and
spectivey submit that if you can throw off the eff
fecs of propaganda of preiudicey of political
bias and fairly consider the facts and circumstances
that will be thus presented you and the great ma
iority of Americans OF German descent as well as
the others have mentioned will arrive at the
same conclusions we have and you and they too will
support Herbert Hoover for the presidency of the
United States.
The conclusions referred to and which arrived
at as result Of the investigation
l. Herbert Hoover from the standpoint of char
measures up to the full stature OF president OF the
acter education, training and demonstrated ability
United States and is better qualified for that position
than Alfred Emanuel Smith.
2. Herbert Hoover, great humanitarian, with
the welfare of all the people Of the United States at
heart with his demonstrated administrative and
executive ability is best qualified to solve all domes
tic problems that greatly affect the welfare of
the American people.
g. New problems and forces operate today in the
relations of America with the rest of the world In
creased world markets prosperity and they
must be developed Business, transportation and
communication Of today bring into more direct
contact with foreign countries Herbert Hoover has
greater knowledge and experience with foreign con-
ditions methods and diplomacy than Alfred Emanuel
Smith or any other American statesman. He can
develop and take Of Americas interests. He
is not the type of statesman that be tricked,
duped or bested by foreign methods diplomacy
and will serve and protect American interests.
A. Herbert Hoover is not pro-Brtish anti-Ger-
man or anything but pro-AmercanJ
5. Herbert Hoover during his food administration
was not anti-German and did not tell starving Ger
women and children to go to hell.
6. Herbert Hoover is not responsible for or in
favor of the socaed national origins act but pre-
vented it from becoming operative and considers it
wrong.
The facts and evidence establishing these conclu-
sions will be given in the succeeding issues of The
Progressive Magazine and your earnest consideration
is respectfully urged.
