RIVERS AND HARbORS
CONGRESS IN SESSION

Washington, Feb. Eradication
Of the evils Of competitive war De
tween water and rail tran. por-ation
development of the nations inland
waterways and its harbors and their
utilization for the promotion of the
national prosperity were urged today
at the opening session of the Ma
tional Rivers an Harbors Congress.
Optimism concerning economic read
justment also was sounded by most
of the speakers.
Endorsing the purposes Of the con
gress, Secretaries Baker and Daniels
urged against the competitive war
fare which has prevented full use OF
the waterways for transportation in
the past, and both predicted an era of
industrial expansion, In this cOnnec-
tion they discounted the fear of bol.
shevism in this country, the naval
secretary saying there is no more
danger of bolshevism taking hold in
America than there is of the kaiser
entering the streets of Washington.
Secretary Baker in discussing the
relation of waterways to the war and
, to the financial burden put on the ma
tiOns of the world by the war, said
improvement of rivers and harbOrs
would be a material factor in increas-
ing foreign commerce for which ships
now were being built. The water
ways improvements. he said, also
would furnish useful and profitable
work for thousands upon thousands
bf men
In this connection he declared it 10
be IAN unthinkable thing that any
soldier who put on a uniform Of his
country and titber fought or was
training TO fight in this war, will he
allowed to remain without job if he
wants one. The chambers Of com
merce of this country, the chambers
of industry, the large captains Of in
dustry, the organizations of manufac-
turers. everybody in this country
owes this to the men who made this
country safe
Secretary Daniels declared that the
railroads broke down under their in
creased burden after America enter
ed the war. while the waters have
run idly to the sea and said the rail
roads naturally broke down because
they were built on a peace time pro
gram. based on the destruction Of
water traffic
No matter what the national policy
regarding transportation should be,
Mr.. Daniels said, water and rail
transportation must go hand in hand.
and not one bale of cotton nor ton
of ore. nor carload of steel should g
by rail if water transportation was
available
Secretary Daniels rebuked those
'"who tremble" at the spectre OF u
dustrial depression and bolshevism,
declaring that the man who bets on
American prosperity is always going
to win" He urged spending the pub
lie money FOR public improvements
as contributing to the nations pros,
perity. and warned against the eXpeo-
tafion Of the return of wages and
prices to pre-war standards.

PEACE Time RED CROSS
FACES HUGE TASKS
War Task Not Finished Public
Health Problems Must Be
Solved BY Red Cross

The American Red Cross, according
to a statement just issued from Wash
ington, D. c., believes that its first
duty is to finish its war task, one hun
dred per cent. The Red Cross must
also continue to carry on even more
effectively than in the past, its estab-
lished system of National and Inter
national relief, in mitigating the suf-
fering caused by famine, fire, floods,
and great national calamities. 1t must
also render every necessary service
to the Army and Navy, and must con-
tinue the work undertaken prior to
the war in the field of nursing and
First Aid.
The responsibilities Of the Red
Cross are greatly increased as a result
of the lessons taught by the war, the
statement continues. Higher stand
ards of responsibility have been set
to prevent needless suffering and loss
of life The Red Cross, with its tradi-
tions and its established organization
will aid in maintaining these stand

nized agencies engaged in conserving
human life and happiness, Activities
already authorized include the en-
enlargement and support of Public
Health Nursing, educational classes in
dietetics, home care of the sick, and
First Aid, the extension of Red Cross
Home Service, an increased Junior
program, and cooperation in develop
ing community health centers.
War time developments have given
every community in the United States
a recognized and organized center of
Red Cross activity through which the
people of that community may, if they
wish, serve themselves, with all the
advantages of national leadership, ma
tional standards, national and inter
national contacts. 1t rests with the peo-
pie of every community to determine
for themselves just how fully they
have need of a movement which under
the associated Red Cross Societies is
to express the effort of the peoples
of the world to free themselves from
needless death and suffering through
neighborly cooperation and service.
