or are paying back to the government
the full amount of the initial invest
ment.
Reclamation of waste lands is in
no sense an emergency or temporary
measure to meet the problem of unem-
ployment. The effects are cumulative.
Every new project applies an upward
push all along the line and contributes
directly to those industries where I'M
employment is most acute.
The initial labor required to con-
struct the reclamation system is small
compared to that necessary to follow
up the construction period. Lands
must be cleared, leveled, plowed and
planted, homes must be built, farm
machinery, household furniture, stock.
automobiles, and what not must be
bought.
In short, reclamation means more
tonnage for the railroads, more bust
ness for the mills and factories, more
homes, more farms, more food; it
means more work for the wage-earner
both skilled and unskilled; it means a
vital and permanent contribution to
the great basic industry of this or any
other country.
