Federal aid in the form of W. P. A. funds apportioned to the State in accordance with the net total of transients and drought refugees entering California from other States would be a just and equitable method in solving Californias relief problem. The Resettlement Administration should authorize loans to migrant agricultural families which will enable them. where land values are not too high. to set up farms of their own in suitable locations on the Pacific coast. Many more resettlement camps for migrants should be built not only in California but in every area where migratory workers need better housing and sanitation. It is only fair to ask that the Federal Government take immediate steps to provide aid for the thousands of destitute in California and other communities where transients from all parts of the United States tend to concentrate. The health. education. and morale of these people who travel across State lines in search of better living conditions is more than a State problem. it is national in scope.
