U.S. AID TO EUROPE LAUDED BY MANCHESTER GUARDIAN
Manchester, England (JFK+50) On December 17, 1922, the Evening Star published a front page story stating that the Manchester (England) Guardian* has hailed potential American aid to Europe as the "biggest thing since the Armistice."
The Guardian states...
"It means...the whole moral weight of the most powerful nation in the world will be thrown into the scales.
American aloofness has been paid for at a great price by Europe, but...now...it may be that the price was worth it."
JFK+50 NOTE
