Plan to reclaim 4 million arid acres eyed by Congress
Washington reports that an ambitious plan to put 4 000 000 acres on the agricultural map through a ten year reclamation program costing about 250 000 000 is under serious consideration. A House Appropriations panel and Western lawmakers toured four reclamation projects with Interior officials, traveling 10 000 miles by train and 4 000 by auto, returning as converts to the plan. Arthur P. Davis, head of the reclamation service, is drafting recommendations for the next fiscal estimates. Secretary Payne, after inspecting Yattima Washington and Shoshone Wyoming projects, favors tapping undeveloped western resources with a new commonwealth, seeking 12 000 000 to open 160 600 acres of land in simult farms.

Lack of Ships Halts Tourism in Postwar Era
Passenger travel half of 1914 levels as postwar tariffs and passport rules raise costs.

The shortage stems from wartime losses, liner retirements, and ships converted to troop carriers, with 164,300 voyagers in May–June 1914 dropping to 80,828 in the same period 1920.
