HOOVER Quoted
.0N WATERWAYS.
By RffF0RBES
BY B. 9, FORBES

The best possible farm relief
Tor the middle-third OF the United
States w0uid be cheap transporta-
tiun through the development Of
inland waters.
: That claim, made by interested
authorities Is, in a broad sense,
supported by this declaration
made by Mr.. Hoover:
Modern forms of develop
ment have made water carriage
ths cheapest Of all transportation
for many types Of goods. Broadly,
1000 bushels Of wheat can
be transported ! 1000 miles on the
kea for $40 to $50, by large lake
steamers for $50 to $50. by our
modern equipped Mississippi barge
service for $50 to $40, and by the
railroads Ter $3.50 to 5000 These
Aestimates are based not on hypo-
thetical calculation, but on the
actual going freight rates.
Population Growing
.'If we would provide for the
20 millions OF increased population
that this quarter of a century will
bring us, we either must build
more trunk lines of railways in the
States which can be served by
waterway systems or we must i'm
prove our waterways to take part
Of the burden"
Hundreds OF millions of dollars
!. have been and are being spent on
Bringing to realization the Hoover
vision presented in yesterdays
column, pictHring a vast network
| Of inland water routes spreading
from the Mississippi River like
branches from tree. What will
this far-flung work mean to Amer
lea? Answering that question fully
three years ago, MIR. Hoover, then
Secretary of Commerce, said:
Distribute Industries
Through the Improvement of
cur waterways 1t will be possible
ID distribute industry and popula-
Atiun better because the waterway
tends to place many towns and
cities uponan equality in transpor-
tation. Proper development of
waterways should contribute to
move industry closer to the agri.
cultural consumer, give a nearer
HldIh6L TO dSEICulIuEe anu
greater diversification of occupa-
tion between agriculture and in
} dhstry to the mutual benefit of
beth.
."Our agriculture and industries
are based on higher standards of
living than those. of foreign COM
Dpetitors, and if we would maintain
these standards we must secure
the cheapest form of transporta-
tion of agriculture and industrial
products both to domestic and
world markets.

SEARCH FRENCH LINER
Finding of Liquor Store on Pier

Company and q. s.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 19.-One hum
bred customs inspectors boarded the
French liner Rochambeau when she
locked today with orders to search her
thoroughly. Officials of the line offered
full cooperation. 4, 10,
The search, which viii require two
days, was the outgrowth OF the seizure
on a French line pier several days ago
of $500 gallons of liquor which had
been unloaded from the Isle de France.
The liquor had come in unmarked pack
ing cases and 1900 gallons vanished
mysteriously before the seizure was
made. The cases were not accounted
for in the ships manifest.
The line and its officIals were exon
Grated, but customs men suggested that
some one might be using the company's
vessels for liquor smuggling. The comb
ing of the Rochambeau followed Q con-
ference with the. steamship company'a
representatives, who urged that the
Government apprehend any persons
guilty Of using the lines ships for IL
legal purposes. " '

DEFENDS PROGRAM
FOR RECLAMATION
Commissioner Denies Service
Will Iniure. Other Parts
of Country.

The conservative program now being
carried out by the Reclamation Blu
reau does not and cannot operate in
juriously in other sections of the coun-
try, DR.. Elwood Mead, commissioner Of
that service in the Interior Department,
said yesterday in discussing informally
the program which is now before Con-
gress. DIR. Mead brought recent adj
dress by B. E. Stoutemyer, of Portland,
Greg, the bureaus district counsel, TO
bear on the discussion, as illustrating
clearly that the reclamation Of lands
in the West will not further depress
agriculture in other parts of the coun"
try, as is claimed by some of the OPP
ponents Of the policy.
Under our program the operations
Of the bureau for the next 10 years are
confined to the completion of projects
already authorized and to the rescue
Of partly developed projects" DR.. Mead
insisted. THE SJouJemyer address
shows clearly that reclamation creates
more markets for farm products in
mills and factories located in other sec
lions of the country than its irrigated
land ships outside. This aspect OF rec
lamation has been overlooked in much
Of the discussion in the East" 81
Abolition of the Department of Agri-
CulLuEe DIS d SOluLIOIl Oh Tile farm pTCD-
lem If surplus of farm products Is
really such bad thing was advocated
by Mr.. Stoutemyer in his address, de-
hvered few days ago, which DIR. Mead
considers one OF tine cleareSt EXPOSE
tons of the reclamation situation that
has been presented. Mr.. StOutemyer
pointed out that If the people of the
corn belt really want to get rid of the
crop surplus they should let the corn
borer alone for about three years and
that will accomplish the result. AS the
Department OF Agriculture, he ex-
planned, is concerned with the control
of pests that normally prevent farm
surplus, by hating its work, these pests
would insure that an abundance Of
crops would be speedily reduced.
With the enLlre country contribute
ing money raised by taxation to build
leVeeS along the Mississippi River 50
that farm crops may commune in that
country, ana provlolng appropriations
to night the corn borer in the Middle
West, the boil weevtl in the South and
the prownIalt moth IN new England,
it would seem ungrateful for the people
of those sections to insist that there
should be no help for distressed settlers
on irrigation projects in the Far West,
especially II such help can be extended
by the use OF the reclamation Iund
which comes entirely from the sale Of
Western resources and does not impose
any tax burden on any part of the
country" Mr.. StouLemyer declared.

and melodrama, replete with clean

The picture has an imposing cast
of players, all of whom have won
renown on the legitimate stage or
before the movie camera. Their
years of experience before the

is young, handsome, appealing.
