Riis League protests Iowa governor Denmark remark
A letter published in the Times from Chicago protests Governor Harting of Iowa for calling Denmark filth in an Independence Day address. The Jacob A Riis League of Patriotic Service asserts Danish loyalty, urges correction, and notes its non political stance while praising Denmark and American solidarity. The piece also covers Canada wheat shortages and Iowa’s wheat production push as context, plus local social notes and farming guidance.
