![["The Presbyterian Synod has expressed alarm at efforts to repeal the 160-acre water limitation in California, which would benefit large landowners at the expense of small farmers. The Synod's committee on social education and action conducted a thorough study on the issue and reaffirmed its support for the limitation. The report highlights potential harms to farmers, coercion in acreage limitation, and the lack of benefits to small landholders in repealing the limitation. The report also addresses concerns about land speculation and the impact on rural life. The Bureau of Reclamation is urged to uphold the 160-acre limitation provision of the Federal reclamation law for the Central Valley Project."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_172_9_0000-1950%20Campaign%20Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas's%20Speeches/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_172_9_0023_thumbnail.jpg "The Veteran's Stake in Reclamation: A Call to Action")
