NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Waterways Seems to Be One
of Livest Issues Before
American People.
By EDWARD W. PlckARD

XX7ATERwAYs seems to be one of
w the livest issues of the day be-
fore the American people. The week
has seen several striking demonstra-
lions of Importance of the subject and
of the popular interest.
Possibly of first importance was Sec
rotary of Commerce Hoover's address
at Chicago outlining an inland water
way system that would work wonders
for the Middle West-and therefore
for the whole nation. Within five
years, he predicted, the Mississippi sys-
tenn would be functioning from Chica-
go to New Orleans and from Pitts
burgh to Kansas City. Congress and
the President are agreed upon the nee
essary appropriations
Secretary Hoover considered the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway
even more valuable Two problems,
he said, are involved: the deepening
of the channel to the sea and the
sterilization of lake levels. The lakes
are from two to three feet shallower
than they were seven years ago. Some
thing less than one-sixth of the fall he
attributed to the diversion of water
at Chicago and the rest to the climatic
cycle. Whatever the cause, the rem
edy, he said, lay in the construction
of control works above Niagara falls.
"Our United States engineers tell
usand we have the best engineer
corps in the world-that they can re-
store the level of the lakes by cur
failing the outflow at Niagara until
they fill up" Mr.. Hoover explained,
"They tell US that proportionately to
the gigantic flow it is a small job. BY
so doing we will have equalized the
vagaries of climate and stabilized the
vagaries of emotion"
