Big BUSINESS
TELLS NATIONS
TO END WARS
Fighting Will Stop Loans
Wall Street Warns;
Aimed at France
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

I Washington, June l2.-The ex
/ PLANTATION that President Coolidge op
poses any more American loans t,
European countries which can't for
get the war and get back on q peac,
basis is the polite way of account
ing for Ambassador Houghton's hin,
to that effect in his speech before
the "Pilgrims" in London.
1t wouldn't sound so we'll to sa,
that Wall Street provided the am.
bassador with his inspiration. The
unromantic truth. however, unoues.
tionably is that big business" told
the president it is worried. over some
of its European inve stments, and the
president passed the word along tc
Houghton to make the most Of.
What the ambassador said was
meant principally for France. He
certainly wasn't aiming at England
Indeed. the English probably are
glad he said what he did. He ex-
pressed what certainly is exactly
their own idea and the fact that this
country's diplomatic representative
put it into words relieves them of
the necessity Of doing so.
The French are sure to resent it,
and French resentment would mean
more to a very near neighbor, like
England, than it will to America.
For all her resentment. Houghton's
warning may have tranquilizing
effect on France She'll be tranquil,
or anything.else, for enough Ameri-
can money.
The administration is entitled to
credit for doing what was unavoid-
ably disagreeabe thing rather
adroitly. II an American ambassa-
dor in France had spoken as Ambas-
sador Houghton did, he would have
llsked making himself persona non
gr"ta."
BY putting "big business" words
into the mouth OF the American rep
resentative in London, however, and
as his personal views at an unoffi-
cial dinner. the president managed
to shut the French government off
from any comeback. The French
press will howl but the government
can't.
A grain man by the name of Ives
was sitting in the lobby Of the Cairo
Hotel one evening telling me what
he thought Of Congress. He wasn't
a bit subdued about it. One of the
members of the very body Ives was
"panning" was sitting over in an
other corner of the lobby. 49,. !.
He could hear Ives plainly. Any
body in the lobby could. This con-
gresham evidently was getting mad
der and madden. His face turned
pink. Next it turned red. Then it
turned purple. He was one of those
who think lone Of the worst influ-
ences we have in our national life
is our bad habit of belittling Con-
gress."
Finally he got up and came over
to Ives. 81 can tell you one thing"
he said. "All the fools. aren't in
Congress, anyway" "Sure not"
agreed Ives. cts membership is too
limited"

depression through which the river
is now running will be filled with
silt, at which time the danger of
flood will become even more serious
than il now is.
Flood Control
Two means have been suggested
for controlling the floods of the
lower Colorado. One is by storage
somewhere up thc river. The other
is by lcvGeS and protective work in
Mexico. While it is probable that
floods could be controlled by build
ing a comparatively straight chan
mel for tn" river from Yuma to
the head of the Gulf of California.
reinforced by love's, there are at
lcas. two reasons why this is not
seriously considered. The first is
that it would cost much moro than
storage, and the second is that it
would mean carrying on and main
tanning extensive works in 4 for.
eign country with all the difficult
ties and complications that would
entail.
The Boulder Canyon project has
been shaped with the idea of solv-
ing the flood problem by storage.
Admittedly u full height dam and
large reservoir a; Boulder Canyon
will come as near to extending full
flood protection as anything that
can be done. BY rescrving eight
million acre feet of capacity at the
reservoir for flood control purposes,
the river can be so regulated that
except for occasional flashy floods
from the ella, its flow will never
exceed 10000 second feet.
This project solves the problem
always Il difficult onc-uf how
the cost of flood storage is to be
met, by charging it 20 power which
can we'll afford to bear the cost.
Full Height Dam
Now and thm the suggestion is
put forward that the government
should build low dam merely for
flood control purposes. In addition
to the fact that such 4 dam does
not hold forth reclamation possibil-
tiles, is not fitted to the plan Of a
domestic water supply for Southern
California cities because not pro
viding adequate storage, and tends
TO BRING about Il complete mouopo-
lization of the tremendous power
resources of the Colorado the plan
is unsound from a financial stand
point. y low flood control dam
would cost from 20 to IS millions
of dollars. II built 50 that sup
cystructuru coj;ld be put on top OF
ii, it woull cost about $4,000 coo,
There wotid be no rcturh Of the
government 5 investment in Sach Il
dam, as it would create 10 power
privileges to carry til. cost. For
but SAL 100000, full height dam
can be built which would b, self
financing through the sale OF pow
er heads created thcrcby-aud il
addition extended other benefits,
besides flood control, of u far
reaching character.
AS Il purely business proposition.
a low flood control dam docs not
compare favorably with "a full
height dam such as is provided for
in the Boulder Canyon project.

Shift Channel

Until about 1905, the river chan
mel extended in southcrlv direction
from Yuma to the Gulf. This chan
mel, however. became filled with
silt, and the river swung to the
westward, discharging into Volcano
Lake, and from there found is
way to the Gulf. Soon. however.
the slight deprt' sion running to
the Volcano Lake region became
filled with silt. and again the river
channel. partly through artificial
means, was shifted to the Pescade.
ro Cut, which is. the only remaining
natural depression on this great Silt
ridge. Soon this too will become
filled, as the old river channel WIS
and as the Volcano Lake Channel
was. When this occurs, reliance viii
have t6 be placed entirely upon
artificial means to keep the river
from flowing into Imperial VALLEY.
The floods of the river occur III
May, June and July. They are long
continued. Some years they are
heavier than in others. Actual gov
crnmcnt records show Il discharge
at as high Il rate as 10000 second
feet. Old watermarks indicate that
floods have occurred as high as
100000 second feet.
Extensive lcvees and protection
works have been installed and arc
being maintained in Mexico by the
Imperial Irrigation District, to
guard, as far as possible, against
the river breaking from its channel
in flood time. Whenever Il flood
discharge gets up TO $1,000 or 80
600 second feet, the lcvcc and sim
liar protective works are endangcr-
ed. Hence May, June and July of
each wear are anxious months for
he thousands of people liviag in
Imperial Valley whose homes and
property are threatened with des-
truction if the uncertain levecs are
topped or undermined. Farther
than this, it is only a matter of a
short timo until the one remaining
