Mississippi were agreed to on tuesday
by the Federal Government. The plan
to remove the menace from the sOuth's
largest city, is for the blasting of a wide
breach in the east leyee of the MISSISSIPPI
pi, ten miles below the city. This brought
an immediate protest from the inhabi-
tants. of the thirty square miles that thus
would be flooded. as we'll as from the
business interests Of N8tchez. who de-
manded a cut at MOrganzO, so as to pro-
tect that city as we'll as New Orleans.
To that Baton Rouge objected on the
ground that it would flood 5000 square
miles of rich country, including Loulsla-
mas sugar cane growing section. The
whole question was left with the River
Commission and Army Engineers at
Vicksburg, where Secretary Hoover and
Major General JadWin, Chief Of the Army
Engineers have arrived TO participate 20 q
