Hoover sends Finland Premier Ryti relief funds in New York
From New York ex-President Herbert Hoover dispatched 100000 dollars collected by his relief organization to Finland’s Premier Risio Ryti in its first week. James F. Montgomery arrived in Manhattan as U.S. minister to Hungary. Reports said he would resign if the State Department did not permit his wife to accompany him to Europe.
