Congress to Keep Down
: River and HarbOr Cost

In spite of the fact the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress in its
annual session here is urging river
and harbor improvement with en-
thusiasm. there seems little doubt
that Congress this session will fail to
enact big river and harbor measure
The memories of the great fight led
by Senator Burton on the pork bar
rel river and harbor bill of last ses-
sured for some time that If the river
and harbor bill this year had pork
barrier features IL could not pass
without hard fight
Since the session opened, however
il has become clear that if a fight is
put up against the river and harbor
bill this session it will stand less
chance of enactment than il did last
session, when, after a struggle in the
senate, n compromise carrying a rel
atiVely small sum was agreed on.
Armed For Fight.
Senator Burton, Senator Kenyon,
Senator Norris. and other opponents
of pork barreT' legislation are better
prepared for campaign against the
river and harbor measure than ever.
furthermore, they will have a great
advantage in the short session. It is
i ii more practicable to fllibuster in
the snort session, which expires by
limitation, March 4, than in the long
session. whose existence is of indef7
mite length
The House Rivers and Harbors Com
lnlttec has been working on the bill for
this session. Chairman Sparkman has
consulted the President. and the Presi-
dent has asked that new projects be
kept out of ii. 1t is expected the bill
will be reported TO the House without
new projects.
Bill Must Stand Scrutiny.
However. 1t is not unlikely that addi-
tons will be made to Il in the Senate
Committee on Commerce. Moreover,
the bill viii! not be made neritorious
simply by shutting out new projects.
since some of the PROJECTS already be-
gun are not defensible. Mere exclusion
of new projects will not prevent a fight
on the bill.
As the situation stands now, it looks
as if any river and harbo- measure
that is passed this session would have
TO exclude new projects and at the
same time contain provision for reason
ably meritonous projects only.
The pressure for a large river and
harbOr bill will be great, but, on the
other hand, the opposition will be more
determined because of the victory of
last session.
