Evans Clark

[1] On March 28, 1919 and April 11, 1919 The New York Times published articles urging to close what it deemed the illegal representation of the Soviet Bureau.

Information was provided as requested, with Soviet Bureau official Evans Clark noting to assistant director of the War Trade Board G.M.

[8] Other members included Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Lewis Gannett, Harry W. Laidler, Jessica Smith, and Norman Thomas,[9] as well as sociologist Winthrop D.

[10] In 1920, he helped organize the Labor Bureau, Inc. (LBI), an independent professional group, with George Henry Soule Jr., Alfred L. Bernheim, David J. Saposs.

[1][11] Clark taught at the Rand School of Social Science (a "property of the American Socialist Society") as a "specialist in municipal affairs."

[1][3] In 1928, Clark became the first executive director of the Twentieth Century Fund (founded by Boston merchant Edward A. Filene), a role he served until 1958.

Topics included: consumer credit, pre-payment group medical service, economic sanctions in relation to peace, internal debts of the United States of America, old age security, and labor cartels.

We want work; we want to be able to buy, with the money we earn, decent food, clothing and homes to live in; we want security in illness and old age; we want our children educated; and we want at least some of the luxuries that science and machinery have paraded before our eyes—an automobile, a radio, household conveniences.

At his death, the New York Times wrote in tribute: Long before Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal vastly expanded the nation's concepts of social responsibility, Evans Clark was helping to broaden the horizons of public thought on unmet needs in housing, health and other neglected areas.
