If these idle hands were employed at a reasonable wage of $5 per day it would add $50.000.000 daily to our national income. a 5day week would add $250.000.000 weekly and $1.000.000.000 a month. and the stupendous amount of $12.000.000.000 annually. It would convert the hungry. the illclad. and illhoused into happy and prosperous citizens and vastly increase the Nations purchasing power. It would provide further employment in the factory and on the farm. The Jones amendment would provide work in the Dust Bowl. By conserving the floodwaters and moisture of that great area. these refugees now fleeing to the westward would be kept at home reclaiming their own farms and homes. This amendment provides for constructive relief and an investment for the present and future generations of real Americans.
