Deportations Continue.
Official information shows that the
deportations are continuing. and it is
the opinion here that, whatever modi-
fication the Germans may have put into
practice, the obnoxious principle of de-
portation remains virtually unaltered.
Some of the statements reported to be
contained in the German reply differ
widely from the official information
reaching the department, especially as
to the severity with which the deporta-
tions are being carried out. The de-

Asks Senators to Send Flood
Control and Regulation
Measures to His Committee.

"A revival Of waterways will be
brought about only by co-ordinatirg rail
and water routes end rates Of trans
portation. and providing adequate trans
fer facilities and waterway terminals"
This is the statement Of Senator New
lands Of Nevada, chairman OF the Sem
ate Interstate Commerce Committee. In
. letter he has written to each member
Of the Senate. urging that the so-called
Hood control bill and the Newlands
river regulation hill be referred to tho
Interstate Commerce Committee instead
Of the Commerce Committee.
Senator Newlands' letter has an In
innate bearing on the discussion which
has been going on for some ,ys in the
Senate on the river and harbor bill.
His view is that the waterway COM
merce of the country Is not to be de-
veloped merely by the Improvement Of
waterways. but that something much
larger mt st be done. He expresses this
sdea in his letter as follows:
Primary Reason

son for river regulation the need OF

nsls without commerce, but for a
great system of inland waterways.

He declares all our efforts to estab-
lish such system have been fall

Improvement.
that the whole business of developing
water-borne commerce ought to be
turned over, as matter of legisla-
ton so far as the Senate Is concern

problem and the waterway and water
borne commerce problems worked out
together. by one and the same COM

IN the House, this would follow as a
matter OF course,
Will Make Millions.
The country will continue to waste
millions on improvements of rivers that
carry no commerce justifying the out
lay unless a radical change in the pres
ent system is made.
This Ia the contention of other Cd.
ponents of the present river and harbol
bill. None of them. however. has pre-.
what must be done to revive water
commerce in the interior. The oppon,
ents of the river and harbor bill are no,
fighting the iprovement of waterways

They are opposing useless projects.
