Raps Cost After War By Kansas Governor
Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas denounces wartime and postwar government spending as a carnival of extravagance. He cites $1.56 million for port terminals, $20 million for a shallow river terminal, $120 million for nitrate plants, and $100 million for tanks, alleging none reached their wartime purpose or France until after the armistice. He calls the full record a shocking tale of mismanagement and waste.
