My boy is in France. He hopes to fly an aeroplane over a German submarine base, and drop a ton of dynamite on it and put it out of business. How the world has changed since we dreamed together in the Cosmos Club! How Paris has changed since we wan- dered through its boulevards together ! The day of the common man is at hand. Our danger will be in going too fast, and by going too fast do injustice to him. But your kind of socialism and mine is to have its fling. I was much pleased to meet your w...ife, very much indeed, and I hope we may see you here one of these days. With my affectionate regards, sincerely yours, Franklin K. Lane On May 31, 1918, Lane sent a long letter to President Wilson in relation to his plan for providing farms, from the public domain, for the returning soldiers. The letter is given at some length, because this plan was so dear to Lane's heart, and was one upon which he had put much earnest study. In addition to the phases of the subject printed here, he gave, in his signed letter to President Wilson, de- tailed consideration to several other aspects of the matter; such as, a comparison of his plan with land-tenure in Den- mark, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia; the need for an extension of the method whereby land can be "developed in large areas, sub-divided into individual farms, then sold to actual bona fide farmers on long-time payment basis " ; and also the part Alaska should be made to play in affording agricultural opportunity to our returned soldiers.
