Hoover and Belgium Relief Organism Powering World War Food
A five year span from 1914 to 1919 saw the Commission for Relief in Belgium grow into a vast economic entity. It operated 200 ships plus railways and warehouses, issued its own passports, and ran food distribution and schooling with subonepercent overhead. Hoover’s methods influenced both Allied and German observers, and in 1917 he returned to the United States as National Food Administrator promoting meatless and sugarless days.
