velopment- While my desire is pri-
marily to help the soldier. / believe
in the policy of land reclamation
and development as a national policy
and have long believed in 1t, and 1
such policy. 1 believe that such a
policy is highly useful and helpful
to the country as a whole.
There is another bill that has been
reported to the senate. n reclama-
ton bill. and so a as I am con-
cerned, II the senate thinks that bill
ought to be placed on the bonus
bill instead of this bill, I shall not
quarrel with that at all. / want
reclamation development and I want
1t primarily for the soldier. 1t must
be for the soldier in any event. and
I am willing to take it in any rea-
rride of opinion.
This particular measure. tho bill
to which I have referred. is said by
some not to be quite SO wide in its
application as the reclamation meas
ure on the bonus bill, because Il is
said that It does not, or would not,
authorize the development OF any
lands except those irrigated or those
drained; but / think a reading of the
Smith-McNary bill viii make It quite
clea rthat under the bill almost awy
form of development that would
bring the lands into a condition of
usefulness, whether it was clearing
combined with drainage. or drain
age combined with irrigation. or
irrigation combined with either
or both. could be started under
that bill. But II our soldier settle
ment provision now on the bonus
bill Ia too broad, 1t is very easy to
amend that. I do not think 1t is. I
think a reclamation law should be
broad. 1t is very easy to narrow its
provisions II you want to.
Stressing the importance OF the
need for this legislation. and the
fact that it was already halfway
through congress. Mr.. Mondell call
ed attention to the difficulties in the
way of securing appropriations at
this time for any Independent rec
lamation measure. Tn the house I"
he declared, only s per cent of the
members arc from the country
where land reclamation under fed
eral aid has been tested and proven,
but those members were able to i'm
press their views on the house in
regard to this matter, supported as
they were by the soldiers. and so
here we are with our plan thus far
here is legislation half way through
congress-all its requires now is the
action OF the senate I would not
want to believe that the senate is
not favorable to reclamation land
development I cannot understand
how the senate. with so per cent of
its members from states where irri-
CATION reclamation is carried on.

RECLAMATION CLAUSE MAY Be PUT IN BONUS ACT
CONGRESSMAN M0NDHL WORKING FOR RETENTION

WASHINGTON. d. c.. June 49,
Veterans of the world war who have
been looking forward to tho oppor-
tunity of securing irrigated homes
in the west with the enactment of
the adjusted compensation bill. and
who have been disappointed by the
action of the senate committee in
striking from the house bonus bill
its reclamation soldier settlement
feature. will be encouraged to learn
that since Congressman Mondell ap-
peared before the senate finance
committee, earnestly urging the re-
tention of reclamation provisions in
the bill, the ACCESSIBILITY of restoring
these features when 1t is taken up
in the senate is being seriously con-
sidered. 1t now seems certain hat
as a result OF the Wyoming con-
CHEESEMAN'S earnest plea a ST. oas eff

bonus measure, when It is taken up
on the senate floor. reclamation
features which the senate committee
eliminated.
The senate committee omitted the
soldier settlement features. accord
ing to one member of the commit
tee. because it had not been suffi-
GENTLY shown that the soldiers
wanted it, and because It might cost
too much money. To the latter OBJ
lection Mr.. Mondell replied hat 1t
would cost no more than congress
was willing to appropriate, and hat
an express Limitation could be
placed in the bill IL that was con-
sidered advisable.
Congressman bIpndell explained to-
the committee in detail how the leg
islative committee of the American
Legion had recommended the rec
lamation features of the bonus bill
which passed the house in the pre-
vious congress, as h first provision
of their four-fold plan. and how h
legion had again urged reclama-
ton as part of the present bonus
bill: that over 100. 900 soldiers had
petitioned for an opportunity to get
homes; cited its endorsement by the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, the Federation of Labor and
other organizations.
Although insisting that the plan
carried in the house bill was sound.
sane and sensible. the Wyoming
congressman told the committee he
was not insistent upon the enact
