ADOPTION by various organizations of business
~ men of resolutions fayoriI.g action to secure
\ drainage of the Ric Grandc valley, Is AN en-
couraging sign of awakening interest in a public
question of paramount importance. 1t is To be hoped
that the adoption Of these resolutions locally viii
be followed hy their approval by business men ana
land owners in every section OF the central no
Grandc valley. and that these various organizations
and interests will soon be concentrated in a single
organization which will comprise the whole of this
valley. and whose slogan will be action.
IL is well. in connection with this matter OF
drainage 20 keep always before ms the fact that a
national drainage program IS forming. II IS coupled
with further extension of national reclamation by
irrigation. Secretary Lanes plan for caring for
returned soldiers is based almost wholly on recla-
nation of arid and swamp lands. In an article
by the Secretary in the current number OF the Ma
ton Business. he makes it plain that the lands of
the far west are included ia his calculations. The
government is shaping "A well defined drainage
policy.
We must participate in the formation of the
policy and we must be ready in every way 10 par
ticipatc in The work, when times comes for work
10 start. That time is coming much sooner than
any of us realize.
IL reclamation of arid and swamp lands is to
provide first work, and later, homes for returned
soldiers. the actual work of drainage and irriga-
tion must begin very soon. The plans must be
made; the projects to be undertaken must be de-
tcrmincd upon.
1t is this latter point that must be our point of
first interest. Our drainage project must he III
Guided in the first program of construction.
How are we going TO get ourselves included
IN this original program
We cannot accomplish it by adopting resolu-
tions although adoption of resolutions is a mighty
good way to begin.
We must have a tight, efficient. earnest organ
ization that is hard at work every minute of every
working day; reaching out to take hold of every
point Of vantage seeking out every Influence that
can be of assistance to lis.
Remember. in connection with this work, the
influence that brought about buildings of the Ehe-
plant Butte dam.
II was not the national government il was not
the Irrigation congress, it was not the Reclamation
act, although all these were necessary.

reasons why the Hun must be whipped TO a broken

James W. Gerard. whose writings stirred this
nation as much as any other influence. was present
in Berlin during all those days of our neutrality
when German armies were overrunning Europe. He
is one of the few men who learned at first hand the
inside of the German machine and the German
system.
His address before the convention Monday
night, which will organize a New Mexico section
OF the League to Enforce Peace, is a big event. 1t
is an event which no man or woman who cares to be
fully Informed about this war and the conditions
necessary to permanent peace, can afford to pass
