Dear Mr. Hoover: , i\lr. Penninilton •••••
The enclosed came
After reading it aloud to the family'
of crack-pot-ism, advertising or what have you, he threyt ia s
it into the wastebasket. I retrieved it, thinking it m
better go into your wastebasket than ours, examined by
your department en route thither, as of possible value.
I presume several thousand have been mailed, and you may
reveive numberless duplicates. I will risk that. Mr. Clark
as an economist at Columbia University receives many strange
missives. This is as strange a one as has come for sbme
time, and very appropriate to the present moment. kVI ( V r.. ~ I~ /1 Sincerely yours, . I 1. I 1 Y ll ::;;i \
