Flood Control.

While President Coolidge expresses
alarm over the cost Of the Senate food
control plan, now being debated in the
House, the matter Of cost does not
represent the nub of the controversy,

have TO be expended rnder the plan
approved by the Senate and favorahly
looked upon by the House food-control
leaders. Ee insists that the appropria-
ton must be definite and not in ex-
cess Of three hundred and twenty-five
millions But the question Of cost
should not be allowed TO wreck food
control plsn. If adequate food con-
trol costs one billion dollars. the money
woUl6 be well spent.
