New Jersey Finances
Make Cooperation
Still Impossible
(By Associated Press)

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. 24-Reply-
ing to letter from Franklin K Lane,
Secretary of the Interior, enclosing the
draft of proposed bill for cooperation
between the states and the govern
ment to provide employment and
homes for the men who have served
in the war. Governor Edge declared
that the plan is unworkable in New
Jersey from a financial standpoint
The form of the bill is one proposed
to provide means to the various states
to secure control of lands that may
be divided into farms for returning
soldiers and sailors.
1t would be necessary for the state
to go into debt in order to finance
such proposition, and our constitu-
ton prohibits such a course, said the
governor in his letter. He suggested
that the national government acquire
lands within the state for this purpose
and that the stae be charged with the
responsibility of creating a board or
empowering department to cooperate
with the government in the admins
tration of the plan.
