We believe American popular opinion would

cablegram running somewhat follows:
'Mr. Charles A. Levine.
Somewhere in Europe (heaven knows where).
"Dear Sir:
"There is q feeling in the United States that your
diplomatic services in Europe enttle you to q vaca-
ton. No doubt you felt that you should carry on
the work Of creating goodwill for America which
was so nobly initiated by Colonel Lindbergh. But,
really, Mr. Levine, you need not continue going to
all that trouble Colonel Lindbergh's idea Of maxi
ing happy impression seemed to differ somewhat
from yours. He never had the notion that quarrel
ing with various pilots was the best Of form, nor
did he at any time boast Of his street brawls Pos
sibly you entertain the opinion that these were
merely felcitous little touches which the colonel in
his hurry forgot, and which you should supply lest
Europeans get the idea Americans were not versa
tile. The truth is, incredible as it may seem,
Americans are mostly convinced that Colonel Lind
bergh. as informal envoy, did an entirely salts
factory job abroad and the need of the jealous Of.
forts you are displaying to improve on the colonel
is not apparent on this side.
I'VE might add that your making a spectacle OF
yourself solo flyer is not winning the highest
enthusiasm here. The United States has succeeded
IN proving 10 Europe ths year tnat II mas Tue s"es
flyers in the world. Such reputation is worth hav.
ing and worth preserving. We trust you will for
| give us If We express some doubt as to whether
your weird and amateursh flights are notably en-
HANGING that reputation. We note that the British
at Croydon nearly died of fright while you were
Topping around in the air preparatory to landing
and that they had nearly all the fire departments
and ambulances in the United Kingdom out to as
sist in carting away your fragments Have heart
Mr. Levine Don't scare Europe to death. We still
hope to collect some portion Of that debt from on
late associates. Please come home. Your bushes
needs you; or at least something needs you. Wei
let you be clown in vaudeville or hurl custard pic
as q slap-stck movie comedian anything If onl
you'll get on the first boat and leave Europe.

The combine, machine that harvests and
threshes grain, has hardly made its entry in the

may be even more acceptable. 1t is known as the

Such machine was tried this week on the two

Mr.. Hooyer's Seven Projects

In the opinion Uf Herbert Hoover, secretary OF
commerce. the time has come when the United
States should formulate broad program for the
maximum utilization Of the vast undeveloped waite:
resources ~ The nation.
Seven treat projects should be taken up by the
federal government Mr.. Hoover believes, and they
are: flood control of the Mississippi; the Boulder
Dam project. which includes food control OF the
Colorado; the Columbia basin reclamation prof.
ect; the Great Iakes-St. Lawrence waterway 20
the sea; the inland waterways system; regulation
Of the levels OF the Great Lakes and the retaining
of the arid lands Of the San joaquin and Sacrament
TO valleys.
Forward steps have been taken in the develop
ment of the inland waterways system most recent
Of which is the opening of the Mississippi river
barge line between Minneapolis-St Paul and st.
Louis But there is still much to be done. The
Missouri river barge system is not yet extended as
far north as it should 60. On the Ohio river there
still is to be developed complete system
The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway is one
thing which Mr.. Hoover has always staunchly sup
ported and II it is ever realized it will be largely
through his efforts. But one man. not even high
officer like Mr.. Hoover, can cut all the red tape
with which such international project inevitably
must be entangled. The waterway must go through
and energetic work will do much to hasten its com.
pleticn.
: The Boulder Dam project would have been fin
shed by this time had not the states OF Arizon;
and California become embroiled in squabble. !
viii in time be completed and it will be q thing O
inestimable value to the southwestern states.
The other projects which Mr.. Hoover mention
are all vital. They do not all directly affect ever!
state, but their commpetion would do much to en-
nance the progress of the nation as whole
! determined effort should be made at the next con
gress to sec that legislation is passed on thes
seven major projects. The benefits accruing from
them will far overbalance their cost.
