M
., July 28, 1932, the following order was handed me by the
Secretary of War:
To: General Douglas MacArthur, Chief of Staff,
United States Army.
The President has just now informed me that the civil government of the
District of Columbia has reported to him that it is unable to maintain law
and order in the District.
You will have United States troops proceed immediately to the scene of
disorder. Cooperate fully with the District of Columbia police force which
is now in charge. Surround the affected area and clear it without delay.
Turn over all prisoners to the civil authorities.
In your orders insist that any women and children who may be in the
affected area be accorded every consideration and kindness. Use all
humanity consistent with the due execution of this order.
