OLD AGE PENSIONS gggff

The Newsletter "The Modern Crusader" was the newsletter published by the Townsend Plan's Long Beach, California headquarters. It began publication in the summer of 1934 and this is the October 26, 1934 issue. At this point in the "crusade" enthusiasm is running high and many California politicians and merchants were anxious to be identified with the movement. Page 1 of the "Crusader" promises the "Largest Mass Meeting in World's History," and to "do Away with Poorhouses." The lead editorial promises nothing less than to ". . . make the United States the ideal spot on earth
