URGE QUICK ACTION
ON SOLD|ER-FARMS

Request for immediate action by Con-
gress on Secretary Lanes plan for re-
clsmation OF arid, swamp. and cut
over lands, including an appropriation
OF ont less than $5OOoO.OOo. will be pre-
sented soon, lit was intimated today
at the Department OF the Interior.
If jobs are TO be provided in reclama'
ton work for returning soldiers a
definite program must be mapped out
at once, it was said.
While it is considered improbable
that the present session will result
in the necessary appropriations for
the reclamation work Interior De-
partment officials say they have
been assured that a sufficient num-
Der of Republicans and Democrats
are friendly to the proposed meas
ure to see IL through at the special
session expected to follow.
Secretary Lanes plan calls for vast
Government irrigation projects in the
West, for the clearing OF extensive
tracts OF cut-over timber lands In
various sections of the country. and
for the drainage and clearing of large
swamp areas. He proposes to put as
many soldiers as may desire to go
into this work on the job at 81 per
day each for common labor.
