apparently awakened little fear to-
day among high ofrieials OF the
government that the public interest
will be endangered or that federal
intervention will be necessary.
Attorney General Daugherty
said today tho strike program had
not reached the stage TO warrant
any statement Of what the govern
nent may DO. if the exercise OF its
functions become necessary. The
the government has authority TO
act to prevent interference in the
production OF coal
NATTER OF CONJECTURE
When and how that power will
be exercised. II a strike actually
materializes and assumes the pro-
portions OF a long drawn out strug-
gle between the miners and opera
tors. and thus indicts suffering or
ha-dships upon the people, was left
TO De conjectured.
Attorney General Daugherty and
others OF the cabinet are said to
entertain the view that 1t IS not vet
too late to avert a strike. The at
torney general today was very
hopeful that a settlement may be
reached.
The cabinet is confident that the
pubic and industry can go through
2 short strike without inconveni-
ence 1t was said that even if a
strike goes through on schedule
time. the government may delay
for q reasonable period resorting to
courts. or other powers that are
available until all possible means
have been exhausted to restore
peace between the operators and
miners.
MIGHT BE CONSPIRACY.
II the government acts it would
proceed under the statutes against
conspiracy. Just how far the gov
ernment would go in that direction
may depend in a measure upon the
invests cations now being made by
the department OF Justice in the
coal fields. These inquiries are pro-
ceeding quietly.
Government reports today dis
closed that the United States on the
eve OF the strike, has the large
stock Of coal in its bins, or actual

sistant. A little over three months
ago, in an address to the Congress,
the President said:
After each war, until the last,
the Government has been enabled to
give homes to it's returned soldiers,
and large part of our settlement
and development has attended this
generous provision of land for the
Nations defenders.
There is yet unreserved approx
mately 200000,00O acres in the pub
lie domain, 20,000,O00 acres of which
are known to be susceptible of re-
clamation and made fit for homes
by provision for irrigation. Il
Contemplating the inevitable and
desirable increase of population
there is another phase of reclama-
ton full worthy of consideration
There are 100000 acres of swamr
and cut-over lands which may be
reclaimed and made as valuable as
any farm lands we possess. =
Home making is one of the great
er benefits which government can he
stow. Measures are pending embody-
ing this sound policy to which we
may well adhere. It is easily pos
sible to make available permanent
homes which will provide, in turn.

to lay out town sites and build un-
limited highways. The
sO-called reclamation feature s.
dangerous at worst and uncertain at
best and of itself should be a suf-
ficient reason for the rejection of
any bill carrying it even though the
measure were in all other respects
uDobjectionable.
In another paragraph Of this re-
port these gentlemen say: Enact
ment of this bill would be directly
contrary to the advice of the Exc

opposes the passage of this bill un-

established activities, or imposition
on wealth already acquired"
These words from the Presidents
message of December 6 can not be
construed in any other manner than
complete and unqualified indorse-
ment of the land-settlement features
of this bill. The plan for the es-
tablishment of veteran settlement
projects for the reclamation of lands
by irrigation, drainage. or other
manner or method literally and
specifically carries out the recon-
mendation thus made by the Execu-
tive, and his advice should be heed
ed by those who are SO prompt to
quote him on other occasions and
for other purposes.
There are gentlemen who refer
with approval to the result of the
referendum taken by the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States
which disclosed that over two-thirds
of the votes cast were against bonus
legislation, whether paid in cash i'm
mediately or with payment deferred
through the use of certificates, but
they are careful to tell but half the
truth. At that same referendum
which was completed on February
Il. the following question was SUBJ
mitted to the business organizations
in every state which constitute the
membership of the national body;
Do you favor a national system of
recIama ton to be initiated through
adequate Federal appropriations and
to be carried out for the purpose of
affording ex xservice men opportunity
to cultivate the soil?
On this question the vote was
1,25O votes in favor and 461 opposed,
the majority being larger than that
against the cash bonus
There is another organization like
wise nation wide in its scope which,
although it frequently disagrees with
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, thoroughly approves
of plan of national reclamation
such as is provided in this bill
The American Federation of Labor,
through it's accredited legislative
representative has said:
"The best service that America
can render to the world, in our opin-
ion, is to keep America healthy. l
do not believe personally, from what
I have seen, that there is any hope
Of alleviating this unemployment
condition in the country except
through a we'll thought out program
made active, and it is my opinion
and the opinion of the American
Federation of Labor-that the recla-
nation idea covers a greater scope,
promises more for the alleviation of
this condition, than any other pro-
gram that has been presented.
/ could quote at greater length
expressions in favor of national
reclamation policy from both of
these sources, one representative of
the great business interests of Amer
ica and the other speaking for the
toilers of our land. When capital
and labor unite in demanding the
adoption of legislation which will
make waste land productive, provide
homes for our returned soldiers, and
increase the wealth of the Nation
and the prosperity of all our people,
then Congress should not hesitate to
act. [Applause.]

Redfe1d Regrets
Letters of Lane
Thinks They, Should Not
Have Been Made Public
Contain Half Truths

New Y ork, oct. 26-WIll1am G..
Redfeld, former Secretary OF Com
merce. today expressed the opinion
that the letters of the late Frank
lin K. Lone, Secretary Of Interior
in President Wilson's cabinet,
which have justIbeen published in
book form, contain instances Of
half truths, which Mr.. Lane him
self would never have permitted to
become public had he himself had
the opportunity of. editing them.
Mr.. Redfeld was a close friend of
Mr.. Lane and sat next to him at
the cabinet table in war days.
Mr.. Redfeld said the Lane let
ters threw an incorrect light on
President Wilson and do not rep
resent the mature judgment of Mr..
Lane
ITO my mind said Mr.. Redfeld,
cit 9issl a grave misfortune to the
memory of agood man that these
letters should be published-f they
are sowithout any qualifying
editing or that they should be
printed in script SO as to convey
impressions that their author
would perhaps disapproye.
.sIf you were ILL.," he said, "and
in addition, had worries on your
mind, it would be unfair to you
to accept, statements made under
such circumstances as represent
ing your actual and well consid-
cred opinion.
.sThat was the case with Lane.
And so he wrote in private letters
what he probably never would
have written had he any idea they
were to be published.
essMr. Wilson's attitude toward
preparedness was, in my opinion,
a medium between two extremes,
ON one hand positive neglects and
on the other obviously militaristic
preparation. There were members
of his cabinet who became impa-
tient with him, and Lane, through
a singular temperament, was one
of them -;
5.I have not read either the
book or the letters except SO far
as extracts from the latter nave
appeared in the. press. My fifst
thought is to recall that Mr.. Lane
whom I counted as dear friend,
was a greatly overworked man.
and, as the sad event proved, a
man suffering to some degree from
illness. L do not think, therefore
that the tenor and spirit of mis-
notes represent the deliberate ma
ture judgment Of the kindly man
he was. -,
Some of. these statements are
clearly incomplete and need quail
ifcation. I have read former Sec
,retary of the Navy Daniels com
meats and concur with them.

futed the Interpretation CT Er.

..Afy Dear Mr.. Secretary:
II have had under Amusement
vour letter of September q where
in you point out that budget re-
auirements Of the Hext fiscal year
have occasioned the formulation
of the war department estimate on
a basis which cannot be JUSTIFIED
except by the absolute necessity for
immediate economy.
although there has been some
increase in the limiting sum since
the date. os your letter, / under
stand thae there still must be q
very appreciable curtailment in the
military program for next year.
Disappointing as such a course
must be, do not believe that we
are justified in exceeding the gov
ernmental resources for the coming
year. Nevertheless there are linn
its in reduction beyond which we
can not go, even in the praise
worthy cause of economy, without
destroying the excellent foundation
now laid for our national defense
and forfeiting the accrued bene-
fits of World war experience.
1T is intended to adhere to the
purposes and provisions OF the na.
tfonal defense act of 1920. Rec
concentrations Of our war-tried
military advisers as to the essen.
tial requirements for the effective
and satisfy operation of that ac'
can not be ignored. believe that
the army is now as small as should
be contemplated, unless there
should be a decided change in mil.
itary conditions throughout the
world.
