Lane pressed bill for reclamation program to employ soldiers
Secretary Lane urged immediate consideration of a $100 million Interior Department plan to reclaim 215 million acres of tillable land for returning soldiers. The program would employ discharged servicemen at current wages on large projects then allow land selection later with government funding repaid over 40 years. Lane claimed the project costs the government nothing and would enrich it in time, stressing urgency to provide work. The report notes Allies demand the German battleship Baden in exchange for the Mackensen at Scapa Flow in London.
