C, FARMS FOR VETERANS After all the talk about helping those who are making the big sac riflce on the war fronts and giving them an opportunity to reestablish themselves when they, come home, newly appointed war liquidator Will Clayton is fighting hard against the veterans. The issue came up when broad- gauged War Food Administrator Marvin Jones backed a proposal to take all the army and navy camps purchased during the war and turn them into farm developments for veterans after the armistice. Both Marvin Jones and Franklin W. Hancock, farm security administrator from and former congressman North Carolina, are urging the idea. They argue that, with military housing already in these areas, they will be ideally suited for getting war-torveterans back to the land and a normal farm life of benefit both to themselves and the nation. But Will Clayton, until recently right-hanman to Jesse Jones and the biggest cotton broker in the world, argues that the land should be sold, with the former owners getting first crack at it. While Marvin Jones and Hancock don't oppose the theory of letting former owners buy the land back, they point out that, in actual practice, the former owners will not have the money, sc that the land would go to the big fand syndicates and insurance companies, thus increasing the concentration of farms into big estates.
