Harding Rebuffs Iowa War Fund Use for Red Cross Hospital
In Ottumwa Governor Harding explains why Iowa will not use its 1,000,000 war appropriation to equip a Red Cross Hospital unit serving southeastern Iowa. He argues the unit is federal and not part of Iowa’s military system, risking unrecoverable funds and setting a precedent for other units. The ruling hinges on technical distinctions in the act and the framing of military organi zations under state law.
