AS HOOVER SEES
TRANSPORTA' ION
And OTHER NEEDS
Basic Problems Reduced
To Terms Of Engi-

BY II. P. BURTON.
N. E. A. Staff CORES rondent.

NEW YORK, March 3.-The
basic problems confronting the Unit
ed States a-e reduced by Herbert
Hoover to terms of engineering; to
be solved by that business efficiency
which industrial America has devel-
oped strikingly along some lines, and
has, with amazing stupidity, neglect
ed to apply where plainly demanded
in big emergencies.
The outlook for fuel supply, food
production, transportation and the
relationships between capital and la
Dor, are among the vital issues tack
led by Hoover from the hard-head.
ed, practical. yet highly scientific
standpoint of the engineer, in an in
terview / had with him today.
Coal Engine eering Problem.
"The coal problem in the United
States is an engineering problem"
he said in summing up America S
most pressing needs. Broadly, here
is an industry functioning badly
from an engineering and consequent
ly from an economic and human
standpoint. Owing to the intermit-
tency of production, seasonal and
local, this industry has been equip
ped to a peak load of so per cent
over the average load. 1t has been
provided with a 80 per cent larger
labor complement than it would re-
quire if continuous operation could
be brought about.
There lies in this intermittency
not only a long train of human mis-
cry through intermittent employ
ment, but the economic loss to the
community of 120, 900 workers who
could be applied to other produc-
ton, and the cost of coal could be
decreased to the consumer. This
intermittency lies at the roots Of the
last strike in the attempt of the
employees to secure an equal dlvi-
sion among themselves of this partial
employment at a wage that could
meet their views of living return
on full employment
transportation Inefficient.
Adjusting our transportation
problems in the United States is a
matter for the engineering mind also.
For instance, in the market season
when the farmers are all sending.
their crops to the big cities, the peak
load is an increase over the average
load by at least 100 per cent. 1t
is at this time that the speculator
n foodstuffs gets in his work. If
there is shortage of cars in the
country the farmer has got to sell to
anyone who can provide him with
transportation. Too often this per-
son is the sneculator
And so it is that because of this
restriction in transportation facili-
ties the farmer is underpaid for his
crops at one end of the line and the
consumer is overcharged at the other
end. Each is on the opposite end of
devastating structure of our ma
tional economic life. This was illus
trated, for example, during the past
year in the case of potatoes. Due to

Sir Louis A. Jette, who today en-
tiers upon his S5th year, was long a
prominent figure in public affairs in
Quebec, filling high positions as law
maker, administrator and jurist. A
native of the town of L'Assomption
and a graduate of L'Assomption Col
lege, he began his career as a prac-
ticing lawyer in Montreal. He in
augurated the National Party move
ment and under its auspices was
elected to the Dominion parliament In
1871. In later years he was called
upon to serve as Chief Justice of
Quebec and as Lieutenant-G Governor
of the Province, filling the last-named
position from 1898 to 1908. In 1878
he was appointed professor of civil
law in Laval University and subse-
uuently he became dean of the law
faculty. France made him Comman-
