Most engineers are agreed that some
one Of these sp;llways is complete
necessity
1t has been proposed that security
of the levee system can be obtained
by setting aside certain original over
flow swamps and by building levees
around them. using them as basins in
which to spill and hold excessive
waters.
Such proposals imply that the Gov
eminent condemn the land ownership
in these basins. 1t is contended that
it would not need be used as spill
basin except in superf1oods-more
than once in four or five years-the
land to be leased back for agricultural
purposes with the reservation OF the
right to fill it with water on such
notice as would permit the inhabitants
and their stock to be temporarily
removed.
1t is also proposed to build reservoirs
in the upper reaches of all OF the
tributaries which feed the Mississippi
system.
A good deal Of discussion revolves
around this proposition. The pro-
ponents of such development contend
that it would enable the holding back
of large quantities of water, that a
very large amount of electrical power
would be developed in the dams of
the system, that the water held back
from the spring freshets would be
sent down through low water season
and thus by increasing the low-water
flow of the rivers below improve
navigation.
The opponents of this plan contend
that the volume of water flowing into
the Mississippi system from the upper
reaches of the tributaries on any
occasion of known superf1ood was
but a small part of the flood itself.
that the great floods originated from
the rainfall in the central valley.
where there are no great reservoir
sites.
They say that not per cent of the
superf1ood could be stored, and they
point out that the cost of building the
various proposed reservoirs in the
tributaries would run into enormous

ties. finance, industrialism and tho
daily life alike. 1t Is not q proposed
change in certain formal aspects Of
life; it Is proposal to change the
whole of life. People are allowed to
go about talking of world peace now,
not because their views are regarded
as acceptable. but because they are
supposed to be incoherent and inef-
fective.
AS the conditions of world peace
are made palmer and as the move
ment for world peace becomes more
distinctly practicable, that present
tolerance is unlikely to continue. The
first phase. when any creative move
ment passes from the realm of mere
talk toward realization, is resistance
and persecution. The first sign that
an attack Is approaching it's objective
is that shots and shell take effect,
amatorism vanishes, men fall steeply
to the climax.
Nv impression is that at present
| the movement for world peace is still
at a considerable distance from its OBJ
| iective. One may doubt, indeed,
whether any Of these various League
| Of Nations unions and mo More War"
societies that play about in the sun
of popular approval can be regarded
| as even preliminary assembly for
| the main attack.
Great revolutions in human affairs
need time to incubate, and the price
| Of peace of the world means an effort
whose duration will have to be meas
ured by lifetimes. I believe that such
an effort will be made, but 1 believe
it is a delusion to say that it has even
begun.

sums and that these could only be
built as there was a demand for the
electrical power to redeem their cost.
The opponents also point out that
reservoirs to be used for flood control
must be empty before the flood, that
this requires that at some particular
time in the year, based upon mete-
geological experience, all of these
reservoirs must be emptied and re-
CARELESS of whether a flood comes or
not thus all of the power production
is at once destroyed.
X X X
This is not wholly true. Reservoirs
in the tributaries will, in the course
of time, be builded for power purposes
irrespective of flood control. The
tendency of all operators of power
reservoirs is, of course, to fill them in
high water and let it out in low water.
That is, from lack of water they have
partly emptied reservoirs before the
foods. A certain stabilizing effect is
created on the flow of the streams,
the value of which is important as
contribution to better navigation dur
ing low water, and as protection to
the people along the tributaries from
local floods. There is necessarily
some retention of water from the
superfioods. There are insufficient
engineering data upon the high
ground reservoirs plan to close the
subject.
There are, however, certain en-
gineering conclusions possible.
am convinced that our engineers
can develop plans which viii control
the floods.
/ believe we can give security to
the people living below the levees,
that will permit the full development
of these lands and their full growth
in population.
We cannot abolish the levee system.
We can strengthen the levees and
supplement them strongly with safety
devices of one kind or another.
Our engineers are working upon
these plans, and we need keep open
minds to all possibilities in every
direction until they have been weighed
in the scale of accurate fact.

amiable supporters of the dear League

mistic" article. 1t is not in the least
pessimistic. but it does attempt to in
dictate something of the scale and
quality of the task. if peace is indeed
to be established forever in the world.
The Anglo-Saxon community in par
ticu1ar suffers from a delusion that
afternoon chatter with teal a small
regular subscription to societies with
noble intentions, the circulation of
nicely printed reports and polite and
deferential attitude toward all that is
respected and influential in life may

quired in the way of progressive &C.

This job calls for something much
tougher and more fundamental. | do
not see how we can avoid the con-
clusion that the search for world
peace, since it is project to subor-
dinate our sovereign government to
something larger. comes near to or
passes the legal definition of treason.
Moreover, the necessary conditions
for world peace bring us into sharp
conflict not simply with the ordinary
patriot, but with much that is re-
garded by large sections of people as
current morality. And as a further
obstacle such views must necessarily
antagonize big interests entrenched

SECRETARY HooyER's FLOOD MAP.

or it will need to be fenced in by
levees.
In 1922 Congress revised the plans
and increased the appropriations to
strengthen them. That work was not
entirely complete, but would probably
have failed against this unparalleled
flood.
The levee system needs to be re-
vised and strengthened, and, above
ALL we must have some other safety
devices which will relieve the strain
on the levee system in periods of
superfloods and thereby make them
absolutely sure once and for all.
Several such safety devices have been
proposed. The serious suggestions of
this sort are in the main as follows:
1t has been proposed that we should
construct in the State of Louisiana
one or more spillways which, when
the levels of the river exceed some
certain point, will draw the water off
from the lower Mississippi through
other channels.
There are approximately three loca-
tons for such spillways. The first is
to use the Atchafalaya River, which
already in effect performs part Of such
a function. Under these proposals to
make it do it's utmost its levees need
be put farther apart, strengthened
and extended farther toward the Gulf.
This plan not only affords relief to
the Mississippi trough proper, but also
affords a bypass for excessive floods
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-06-12

from the Red, Black and Ouachita
Rivers.
The Transformation of the Atcha-
falaya into controlled spillway would
give relief to the levees of the Mis-
sissippi River for about 200 miles
above New Orleans. 1t is not a pro-
posal to change the mouth Of the
Mississippi, but only to divert excess
water.
An extension to the Atchafalaya
idea has been suggested in proposal
to connect the Atchafalaya with the
! Arkansas River through Bayou Bar
tholomew, the Ouachita, the Black and
| the Red Rivers, thus extending the
! Atchafalaya spillway northward to
take excessive floods from the Arkan-
sas River also.
Under such a plan the combined
rivers above would act as a protective
| bypass for further relief of super
floods
Another proposed location for spill
ways is directly from the Mississippi
River to Lake Ponchartrain at some
point above New Orleans.
A still third proposal is to make a
spillway below New Orleans some
where near the point where the leyees
were blown up at Poydras over a
month ago.
The full engineering factors, the
comparative merits and costs as
among these various three spillWays
or by-passes have yet to be developed.

But we are told by the moving
spirits of what is called the birth
control movement that mankind need
be driven no longer by population
pressure. If they are right in saying
that, then world peace is possible. If
they are wrong, it is not. If they
are wrong, then the Italians and Japa-
nese are justified in breeding like rab-
bits, cIamoring to grab land from more
restrained populations and threaten
ing war. If they are wrong, there is
an excuse for the Italian threats
against the French and for the Japa-
nese claims to a foothold in Australia
and California But if their increase
is q preventive increase due to the
sinful ignorance fostered by repres-
sive government, then these 'expan-
sion-seeking people" cease to appear
as heroic aggressors and become in
stead merely philoprogenitive nui-
sances in the commonwealth of man
kind.

edge increases; the lower the standard
