The War as a Racket

Bond salesman Gerald Maguire died last night in a New Haven hospital at 37 years old. His name was linked recently by General Smedley Butler with an alleged fascist plot to seize the US government. Dr. Frank Tulan attending physician, attributed the death of the bond salesman to pneumonia and other complications. On January 27, 1936, the Senate overruled FDR's veto on paying the bonus. It was given in the form of bonds. 80% of the bonds were redeemed.
