...Needs, super-campaign of propaganda for all private charities. At its head, as he had been under President Hoover, was able, eloquent Newton Diehl Baker of Cleveland, Wartime Secretary of War. The mobilizers gathered first on the White House lawn for a greeting from the President. His job was difficult: to steer the sentiment of the country back to the Hoover philosophy of voluntary giving while continuing the Roosevelt practice of direct relief based on involuntary taxation.
