Wilson was president in 1918. Hoover, however, was instrumental in getting large amounts of food aid to starving Europe after WW1 before he was later president. It’s unclear which president and time period that is referred to. I enjoy reading these daily excerpts from “The Writer’s Almanac”. This is the first error that I’ve ever noticed, and my comment is meant as a service to readers and the producers of TWA and not a criticism in any way.
Hoover was President from 1929 to 1933.

Thank you for watering our minds today. I woke, read this, + looked a few of these things up...inspiring...heading to a museum!
Hoover wasn't President in 1918. I think you mean to say Wilson
