Labor and Interior Secretaries Call for Jobs and Farm Settlement
Secretary Wilson warns the readjustment period risks industrial unrest and a potential social upheaval like France or Russia if unemployment spikes. Secretary Lane urges Congress to fund soldier settlements nationwide to provide immediate jobs for up to 199,000 returning servicemen, farm homes for 25,000, and 1.5 million acres of untapped land, arguing decisive action stabilizes the nation as communities help discharged sailors and soldiers repatriate home. Iron Age editorial echoes local self-help solutions, noting mustered soldiers should be allowed home with means to return given practical constraints.
