additional harbor and river projects will not be con-
sidered by congress for four or five years. il the advice
Oh president Coolidge, as contained in his message 10
congress Tuesday, is followed. In connection with his
economy program, President Coolidge said:
we have recently passed several river and harbor
bills. The work ordered by congress, not yet com
pleted, will cost about S2s3, 100000, besides the hun
dreds OF millions to be spent on the Mississippi flood
way. Until we can see our way out OF this expense no
further river and harbor legislation should be passed.
as expenditures TO put il into effect would be four o.
five years away"
The interest of the Lower Rio Grande Valley in
this statement Of the president lies in the fact that in
the event the Brazos Santiago project. in its present
form or as it may be modified, fails to secure the CO
for any reason be abandoned, years would clapse before
the Valley could hope to again reach the position H.
has now attained in respect to securing government aid
for a deep water port.
The statement of President Coolidge was made after
careful consideration and counsel with administration
leaders. There is a we'll defined effort being made in
Washington to prevent the government embarking on
new enterprises Of this type until the projects already
established or approved have been developed and their
value to commerce thoroughly demonstrated. Whether
this policy will be extended to include inland and
coastal waterways has not been announced, but the
tenor Of the presidents declaration indicates il will,
IL congress is guided by his advice. President-elect
Hoover, -swever, has definitely announced in favor OF
extension Of waterways. but has not been definite in
regard to harbor projects,
The BRACES Santiago project has been approved by
the army engineers and was included in the list recon-
mended by the rivers and harbors committee Of the
house during the closing days Of the last session. APP
proriations of the projects recommended at that time
are expected to be passed this month or in January.
but, it is doubtful if additional projects will be con-
sidered by congress for several years.

through selling the securities Of borrowing govern
menss. The demoralizing effect upon their market
outlets that would result from large issues Of federal
or municipal obligations to stimulate employment is
self-evident. Except in time Of war or widespread dis
aster, the flow Of new public issues5 although by no
means as well planned as it should be. accommodate
itself to a certain extent to the state Of the investment

lie works financing had to be timed with reference 10
the degree Of prevailing unemployment, with contracts

preston might have reduced the investing capacity Of
the public to a very low level.
Judge indeed solely from the point of view of sound
financing programs. public works should be planned
with much more attention to the state Of the market
for capital investments than they are today, whereas
the proposal for an emergency construction fund pays
no attention apparently to the r~eceptivity Of the in
