whereby German prisoners be impressed
as crew members of food and supply
ships going into England, in order that
their presence may furnish a measure

With Secretary of the Interior Lane
contemplating opening up 100000 acres
of unused government lands in the
Northwest, there would be plenty OF
farm work for war prisoners in large
numbers.
The land under consideration is adopted
for raising wheat principally. and its
cultivation would greatly increase the
food output OF this country.
The shortage of labor, and the diff
ficulty of obtaining a large enough num-
Der to work 100000 acres without draw
ing heavily upon the farm labor of the
country has been the one big obstacle
in the way of carrying out Secretary
Lanes plans.
