IRRIGATION CANALS IN SOUTH

supplying certain raw materials and
some machinery, this industrial capac-
ity of France will largely care for her
immediate reconstruction demands.
Belgium is not in as favorable a po-
sltion as France because the major
portion of the country was under the
control of the Germans. She has need
for replenishing the material equip
ment of her factories and to rebuild
them before she can be in a position
to produce those materials that will be
needed for further reconstruction.
Fortunately her rich African posses
sion in the Congo region gives her an
important source of raw material. 1t
is remarkable that development work
should have been continued during the
war to such an extent that last year
the Belgian Congo produced 10000
tons of copper
During the Napoleonic Wars great
improvements were made in the tech
nique of production in English indus
tries, and their leaders overestimated,

foreign trade, 80 that this is II prIl-.e
factor in creating new markets as an
outlet for our Industrial capacity.
The United States today has con-
siderable unoccupied land, which can
be utilized for settlement, and during
the reconstruction period our Govern
ment can and should promote irriga-
tion work in our Western States, un-
dertake reclamation projects in our
struction of transportation lines to tap
the great plains of Alaska.
Greater transportation facilities are
absolutely essential. We ought to con-
tinue to expand our shipbuilding pro-
gram. The growth of our steel indus
try will probably make it possible for
us to build standardized vessels as
cheaply as any other nation.
1t is generally recognized that one
of the great weaknesses of our rail-
roads has been the lack of adequate
terminal facilities, which has resulted
in the congestion of traffic and in
wasteful use of railway capital. The
expansion of our trade will necessi-
tate larger and better port facilities,
and efforts should be made now to
improve them.
But we cannot have adequate termi-
nails or transportation facilities with
out providing sufficient credit for the
railroads to expand their facilities to
meet the constantly growing CONNER
cial needs of the country. Whether
this shall be done under Government
supervision or Government ownership,
it must be done, and there is every
reason for believing that the wiser
plan would be to accomplish it under
private ownership of the carriers, with
Government supervision and co-opera-
ton.
We have paid little attention to the
development of our waterways as a
supplement to our railroads in the car
rying of low grade commodities. The
growth of traffic has been such as to
place a strain upon the present rail-
road facilities, and it would seem that
the time has come when some system
attic efforts should be made to develop
our inland waterways. The wide use
of motor trucks in transportation
makes it imperative that some atten-
tion be given to the further improve
ment of our national highways.
We should also give serious atten-
tion to the organization of industry.
The continuation of wages on a high
level makes it necessary that indus
trial enterprises obtain proper com
pensation through more efficient meth
ods of production. Our existing anti
combination legislation is not in nc-
cord with the present industrial sltu-
alton.
The best type of industrial organi-
zation can be developed through COM
bination, with safeguards against I'M
fair competitive or monopolistic prac-
tices-organization which will secure
for us all the economic advantages of
large-scale production, Indignation and
coordination Of industry, without the
wastes that come from forced compe-
tition. The Webb Law is a step in
the right direction and is evidence OF
the breakdown of the former Govern
mental policy. But IL our industry is
to play part consistent with its new
ly created opportunities we must 60

straints.
