Advocates of Ford Offer Also Greatly Encouraged at Pos- sibility of the President
 Backing Ford Offer

 800 Davidson Building.


 Washington, January 23.-(Spe- cial. .)-The President, today before the conference called for the con sideration of the plight of the .agri- cultural classes of the United States, in advocating development of rivers and harbors, both for navigation and power, thrilled southerners in Con gross who, on account of the ex- agencies of the situation, had given up the fight for an adequate appro- priation for rivers and harbors, and for the offer of Henry Ford for the governments properties at Muscle Shoals.
 Since the President has spoken those who despaired admit renewal of confidence. There is no doubt but that If the President asks for an ap- propriation sufficient to maintain de velopment in rivers and harbors al ready undertaken, such appropriation will be given. aud if the President asks Congress 10 accept the Ford of- fer all opposition will disappear.
 At the present time Congress is de- termined 10 appropriate less than one=fourth the sum the engineers of the government declare will be neces- sary 10 maintain projects in thei" present state of deveiopment. At the present time Congress Is opposed u Che acceptance by the governl she offer of Henry Ford, bu

Chair man Madden of the appropriation committee declares that, irrespectivtI of the report of action of the river and harbors committed. rivers and harbors will receive only s13O00. .00d
 But the attitude of the President will be sufficient to overcome all op- position. It is the hope of southern CTS that the President was not talk ing for effect and that he wiH i'm press his views in an aggressive manner on Congress.
