Tt has been’ angreat disappointment | to many that earlier action *could «not be had, but in view of the insistence pipes the soldier boys, themselves, should Iho first asked to say, what was wanted, lit aid not-seem“wisé to press the mat- | ter in, congress. Congressman Mondell, i whose bill providing employment and ‘homes for former service men was fa- vorably reported last August, has been flooded with letters from soldier boys peed when such legislation might be ed. to be available, while, the inter- Hor de Seraetaent has. hundieds. oy ;thou- | sands of requests, for notice as: soon as: “ ‘the provisions .of the. Mondell bill are available. It is to be regretted that the Mondell bill, which .was.designed to at- Yoru immediate employment for all who needed work, and homes for those who | desired to acquire, them in this manner, | was not enacted last summer, but. in view of the insistence above referred to the matter could not well be pressed. It was, of course, never intended that the Mondell measure would cover con- gress’ intention of obligation, reward was intended to meet a situation then and still—existing with regurd to em- ployment and homes for those who eared to take advantage of it. Data has long been available so that actual | work could .be started as soon as the Mondell: bi was signed—and it was with knowledge ofthis fact that’ the Wyoming congressman: introduced his measure.
