Literary Digest Urges Near East Relief Aid for Smyrna
Editorial reprinted from The Literary Digest appeals to Americans to fund relief for half a million refugees in Smyrna and across the Near East after the 1922 disaster. It details food shipments, the Clontarf cargo, and a national committee led by Will Hays and Harding appointees, urging checks to the Near East Emergency Fund.
