"For the first time in the history <strong>of</strong> Christian nations powerful governments are making the exercise <strong>of</strong><br />

Christian charity impossible through <strong>of</strong>ficial regulations."<br />

Bishop Aloisius Muench, Fargo, North Dakota<br />

"<strong>The</strong> American people should know once and for all that as a result <strong>of</strong> this government's <strong>of</strong>ficial<br />

Chicago Daily Tribune, January 8th 1946<br />

RELIEF PLUNDERED BY ROOSEVELT AND HENCHMEN<br />

Throughout the spring <strong>of</strong> 1946, Eleanor Roosevelt, wife <strong>of</strong> President Roosevelt, attracted a great deal<br />

<strong>of</strong> favorably publicity for her highly trumpeted appeals for donations to feed the starving German<br />

Congressional Record, December 4th 1945<br />

defies condemnation."<br />

Ralph F. Keeling, Gruesome Harvest; 1947. Institute <strong>of</strong> American Economics<br />
