Who started this plea for help for the Finnish people? Her.
bert Hoover forsooh! The who while President

there appealing for ad exercising their rights citizens
petition their for relief from DISTRESS suffering
through no fault of their Under Hoovers ORDERS be-
medaed brass hat general with the troops command
drove these suffering citizens from their novels
where they had sheltered and then burned shelters
Where this Hoover and his kind people
of Spain fighting retain their liberties suffering
untold miseries while resisting the
money of vested SPAIN elsewhere to deprive
them by force of of their liberties and place them

Where kind been for the last 10 wears
when fact finding unprecedented have repeated
