The debtor nations have the land and the supplies and materials to help us carry out the program of resettling the unfortunate race in our midst. The nations which furnish the supplies will receive credit on their war debts. I do not remember the exact details. but my recollection is that the bill provides $300 for furniture after the emigrant has arrived at the point of settlement. $300 for something else. so much for his education. so much for his health. and so forth. The total amount involved is about $700.000 or $800.000. In addition. those above the age of 12 are to receive compensation of $1 per capita per day and those under 12 are to receive 50 cents a day for a period not to exceed 12 months. so as to give them time to become adjusted and organized and ready to go on with the problem of making a living in their new home.
