Mansfield on Texas Gulf Coast
Harbors

Congressman Joseph j. Mansfield Of Texas is the
ranking minority member of the rivers and harbors
committee. This committee is said to be paving the
way for a very large appropriation for the improve
ment OF waterways and harbors. He stressed in a
speech on the new bill the vast Importance OF Texas
harbors in the water commerce Of the United States.
He declared that since the development Of rail lines
in the Southwest and Of the Gulf ports In Texas the
water commerce had grown to such an extent that
in 1928, of the total exports Of the United States,
amounting to s5.O34.s 73. 142. the ports Of Texas had
handled 8l7.OO2.oS2 or nearly one-sixth. In point Of
exports. Mansfield declared, Texas was second in the
list Of states, New York holding first position with
her harbors more than zoo years old. This excerpt
from the Mansfield address should be Of interest to
ell Texans:
The traffic that actually passed through the Tex
as Gulf ports originating chiefly in Oklahoma, Kan
sas, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, totaled 4~4,943,526
tons. The major portion Of this went into the export
and outgoing coastwise trade. Imports were small,
being but little more than one million tons. Cotton
for many years constituted the chief item Of COM
merce passing through the ports Of Texas. The ship
ments In 1928 we're 1.545. S45 tons. the equivalent Of
e.1s3,5so bales. This cotton was produced primarily
in Texas and Oklahoma, and represented about A.
per cent Of the total production for that year."
II there is TO be the largest appropriation in his
tory for American waterways and harbors, then a
large slice OF the appropriation should be given 70 the
Gulf ports of Texas with the largest costline Of any
American commonwealth. Texas Gulf ports are
growing by leaps and bounds. There is an intra-
coastal canal. 1t should be developed to the fullest
capacity. These Gulf port cities Of Texas have had
amazing growth in recent years. They are dotting
The coast line from Brownsville on the south to
lhe Louisiana border on the north.
They are the gateway to all European ports, to all
South American ports, TO all the ports OF the Orient.
They are almost within speaking distance OF the
Panama canal.
Some day Texas and Oklahoma and Arkansas and
New Mexico and Arizona will produce more than half
the annual cotton crop Of America. Texas and Okla
bona and Arkansas are among the great petroleum
states OF the union. Never overlook the fact that in
value OF exports and tonnage Texas ranks second and
New York first and New York harbors were first de-
veloped away back in the dead century.
