Uncle Sam-Minneapolis Moline Peace Program

(contintued) On every shipping container there was a large decal, which showed 2 hands shaking, with english and middle east writing. This was to show that this was a gift from the U.S. There was some moline trouble-shooters that would stop by to over see the shipment from time to time. They would tell of the abuse the tractors would recieve after being delivered, First off, none of the arabs knew how to operate the tractors, and after the moline fellows would assemble the tractors and start them, no native knew how to operate them, so would pull the tractors around by men with ropes. The worst, was running the tractors with plugged air cleaners from sand. Everything was donated to these countries free
