nance of American Industry. The
'~test Of these articles is headed Water
ing the Dry Lands and deals interesting
ly with the history Of the western arid

treats reclamation in the west as an &C
complainant that has been completed and
written into history. II is nothing of the
sort. Western reclamation has just begun.
The impetus given It by the old irrigation
congress movement has died down. An.
other such movement iS needed. more 10.

II is a curious kind Of thinking that
leads the representative Of an eastern
manufacturing district TO oppose federal
aid for western reclamation. Perhaps ii is
lack Of thinking Development Of the
western arid lands and of the southern
swamp lands means expansion Of markets
for manufactured products that cannot be
accomplished in any other way. The man.
ufaoturer and his representative in con.
gress who is blind to this fact is blind to
his own Interests.
One of the principal problems before
American industry today is that of over.
equipment for production. The steel mills
of the country are equipped TO produce
double the volume Of rails and structural
steel for which there is a market or for
which there is likely to be a market for
some years to come. There are fairly &C.
