Coffin Drapes By Pettengill
Information has come to me that the War Department is asking manufacturers for bids on a total of 159000 interment flags. These flags cover coffins of American soldiers and sailors. It is three times the normal order and signals a demand to avoid accusations of unpreparedness. It urges plain talk and criticizes Roosevelt and Congress over war powers and alliances, urging Congress to stay in session.
