trapping German agents. He Is said
to have gained the confidence OF Won

is alleged. they planned construction
OF bombs. Moreover, 1t is asserted.
KooFbergen was given $500 to make
a trip to Canada to destroy rail-

soldiers had to pass. He went as
directed. The Canadian government,

WHY HARBoR DEVELOPMENT?

WHY HARBOR DEVELOPMENT?
The rivers and harbors develop
ment Of the country is necessary to
prosperity. The usual appropriations
are expected to be made by congress
this year. Instead of attempting to
save money on this end, congress
should appreciate that true prepared
ness is linked with Industrial pros
perity, which depends upon good
waterways.
These were points made by Senator
Joseph E. Ransdell, of Louisiana, in
his annual address before the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors conven-
tion.
Two major issues were emphasized
by the speakers. The first was that
waterways are essential to a rational
preparedness plan; the second, that
cooperation in the development of
railroads and highways as well as
waterways work to the betterment OF
conditions in all three and the coun-
try at large.
Senator Ransdell pointed out that
everything which goes into the rivers
and harbors bill before congress must
run the gauntlet Of the army engi-
neers and OF the rivers and harbors
and the commerce committees.
THE regulations of these men are
slandered when II Is said that this
bill involves the distribution Of
pork" he said.
Secretary Redfeld, OF the depart
ment OF commerce, discussed cheap
transportation. The secretary point
ed out the saving by barge transpor-
tation, and declared he favored econ.
omical waterway development.
