TO RECLAIM WASTE AND ARID

Congressman Moudell has introduced
a bill ap|propriating one hundred mil
lion dollars to be expended under the
direction of the Secretary of the In
terror for the investigation, irrigation,
drainage and development of arid,
swamp, waste, cut-over, and ~undevelop-
cd lands for the purpose of providing
employment and farm homes for hon
orably discharged soldiers. sailors and
marines. This bill would furnish the
funds for "A scheme of development in

made for the repayment of the funds

on national reclamation projects,

While the plan of reclamation pro-
posed under this bill is similar, so far
as it applies to arid lands, t. the plan
under the reclamation law, it is not
proposed to merge the two, as the
funds for the national reclamation de-
velopment are derived from the public
lands, while the funds under the new
system would be direct appropriations
from the treasury. Mr.. Mondell has
also introduced a bill to increase the
reclamation fund by making a loan to
that fund, and the fund will also be in
creased by derived under the
new oil and Goa land leasing law.
Mr.. Mondelrs new bill is before the
Committee on Appropriations inc the
subcommittee having charge of appro-
p%riations carried on the Sundry Civil
bill. Mr.. Mondell is a member of this
subcommittee and feels hopeful of be-
ing able to secure action on this legis-
lation.
