This project has been demonstrated to be sound and successful by the colonization of some fourteen Hopi Indian families.  In addition to the living which they are making on this project, they live in harmony with the Indians of the Colorado River Tribes and have taken a new interest in solving their own economic problem for which no opportunity existed on the Hopi Indian Reservation. As evidence for the success of the project, one Hopi veteran repaid in full in one year from sale of crops from his 40-acre tract, the rehabilitation on loan of 3,000 made to him on the occasion of his settling on the project.  All other colonists are either current or ahead of time schedules on such loan repayments. 
CONCLUSIONS.
1. The needs of Indian veterans for training and the results which could be accomplished by an adequate training program fully justify Congressional action to establish the training center at Poston with an appropriation of funds to the Indian Service sufficient to accomplish this purpose. 
2. Concurrently with the training of Indian veterans in agriculture and related occupations, lands should be subjugated on the Colorado River Reservations for settlement by Indian colonists, serving their demanding need of complete rehabilitation. Necessary funds to accomplish this purpose are needed.
