...when Franklin Delano Roosevelt crossed the continent from West to East, he had to pass through intolerable drought, heat, dust. Last week the uncomfortable feature of his East-to-West journey was the 17th annual convention of the American Legion at St. Louis. At one time the President had tentatively agreed to address the Legionaries. He now had changed his mind.

The whole thing boils down to the train journey from Lourdes to Le Yerdon. The germ may have been in the food or water taken on the way back at the wayside stations. ... I have no doubt about it that the cause of the infection is to be found on the train journey back from Lourdes...
