Houston Texas, September 2, 1921.
On this day in 1921 food aid from Western countries arrived in Riga, Latvia for transport to the Soviet Union as famine relief. The US was the largest contributor.
The famine was human induced, caused by the incompetence and stupidity of the communist economic system in multiple ways.
On the same day, Federal troops arrived in West Virginia, but President Harding declared they would not be used to impose martial law as long as civil law continued to function. The threat, of course, was the private warfare between union coal miners and non-union/company forces.
