MISSOURI RIVER PROBLEM
RKQUIRES MUCH STUDY

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 2J-LP)-The
time has come to make a survey OF
the drainage system Of the United
States to develop reclamation, flood
control. power and navigation for a
4O,OOO,OOO increase in population that
is bound to come within the next p
years. Herbert Hoover, secretary Of
commerce, advised Missouri river
waterways project enthusiasts in a
series Of conferences here today.

Improvement undertaken over a SER

explained.
I'VE cannot determine what ought
to be done until we study each drain

from the engineering and financial
points of view. and determine the
program for it," Mr.. Hoover advised.

I'VE ought to study the Missouri
river from top to bottom from the
point of view of reclamation, flood

other points will gain new LIVELIHOOD
from river development as those i'm
mcdiatcly concerned and so there
should be a national contribution to
the general Improvement costs"

best dramatic performance Of her
career. Director Weight has made
