My dear Mr. Hoover
My dear Mr. Hoover
I have noticed on one or two of the posters of the Food Administration the words, "Our Allies." I would be very much obliged if you would issue instructions that "Our Associates in the War" is to be substituted. I have been very careful about this myself because we have no allies and I think I am right in believing that the people of the country are very jealous of any intimation that there are formal alliances.
You will understand, of course, that I am implying no criticism. I am only thinking it important that we should all use the same language.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson
Hon. Herbert Hoover,
Food Administration.
