Explaining why he has urged Con-
gress to provide a scheme by which
soldiers may acquire homesteads and
develop the land. Mr.. Lane said: Il
want to put our land to use into the
hands of men who will use it and
take it out of the hands of men who
won't use it. By putting our returned
soldiers on the land-returned SOL
diers. who originated On ;Ie farm
and who thrive best in such environ
ment-we place where they will be
of most value to the nation the finest
type of man the world has developed.
1t is because the manhood of France
that nation was able to beat off the
attacks of a more powerful enemy.
Living on the land imparts an ele-
mental strength unconquerable."
With regard to the development of
waterpower, the speaker said he
wants Congress to appropriate enough
funds Ito make survey of the Situa-
tion and learn just how it can be
done. The United States has got to
do such great things to keep US ahead
of the rest of the world industrially,
economically and socially

believe there is bag of gold at the

These folks won't take the word of
experienced men all down the road of
history that there is no magical way
to happiness. Work alone finds the
way. Work is the salvation mate
rally and spiritually. We're coming
TO the day when all of US Americans
can live happily together without
contention. Were going to reach
that goal by work, not for ourselves

Mr.. LANE PLEADS
FOR UNITY IN j. s.
Tells State Secretaries ''0ur
War Morale Has Not Been
Maintained"
DEPLORES SELFISHNESS

"Our war morale has not been main
tanned. We have not the unity OF
purpose that prevailed then. We
lack common purpose, we Ameri'
cans though we are just as loyal. just
as good. just as idealistic now as we
were when the whole nation had con-
centrated its forces to make drive
against Germany"
That was the beginning of a little
talk made this morning by Secretary
Lane of the Interior Department and
enthusiastically received by the As
sociation OF American Secretaries of
Sees Cooperation as an Ideal.
I'VE can develop an aggressive. con-
structive program for America, he
went on to say: .'Iet US all work to
make this country a better place in
which to live. not by selfish enter
prise. but by cooperation. That is
our ideal. Let us live up to it,
Mr.. Lane cited as examples of large
problems on which all Americans can
work for solution. the development of
millions of acres of land now lying
idle and the development OF vast
water power, now unused, for in
dustrial and domestic purposes.
The spirit of America is to master
something. Our enterprisinS men set
out to make large fortunes. not be-
cause they want the actual money,
not alone for the power wealth gives
them. not for the pleasure wealth af-
fords-for wealth beyond comfortable
living does not give pleasure-but
because the making of fortunes
means the overcoming of obstacles.
II is a great game.
The spirit of our pioneers who
went westward across the Alleghenies
and fought a wilderness years and
years ago was felt on the battlefields
of France. 1t helped save civilization
from the forces of despotism in the
world war. America has been inval
liable in the world-the spirit of
