BONDS FOR
COASTAL CANAL
25-Year Delay Is Seen
Tn Present Plan
Construction

Because he now believes that the
intra-coastal canal cannot be COM
pleted within a reasonable time on
the pay-as-you-go basis. Roy Mil
Ter OF Corpus Christi. active vice
president OF the Intra-Coastal
Canal Assn Of Louisiana and. Tex
as, has made an about face and
is advocating a bond issue for H.
nancing the project.
He has written Congressman j..
J.. Mansfield OF Texas, ranking
democratic member OF the house
rivers and harbors committee 70
this effect. Such q plan. which
has been proposed by Congress
man Mansfield and Senator Ship
stead. Is expected TO come before
the next session OF Congress.
He expressed the fear that the
500. 1000. 1000 a year which has been
obtained for waterways c0nstruc-
ton and maintenance. may be cut
to about $4,000. 900 annually as a
result OF the administrators eco
Monty program
About half OF this would be re-
CURED for maintenance leaving
half for construction. Miller be-
lleves that II would require rs
years TO finish the project under
such condition without taking into
consideration additional projects
which may be authorized from
time TO time.
He thinks that the inland wat
erways projects should be complet-
ed within five years and that they
would increase the value Of Mis-
sissippi valley products alone BY
s250.00O,0 900 a year.
The administration has been
against the bond proposal and
Mr.. Miller thinks that waterways
organizations in the past have op-
posed the plan also in order 10 be
In harmony with the administra-
ton.

This Cooperation BUSINESS

Of late the federal government has been extremely
hctive in urging farmers of the country to form CO.
operatives which in turn are to wC"' under the auspices
of the Federal Farm Board and $ ths farmers prob
lens.
Laudable effort which may bring practical results.
But the federal government itself might in some
manner so organize its own departments that they may
set the example of true cooperation to the farmers and
the country at large.
Specifically we refer to the wide variance which
seems to exist in the attitudes of the department of state
and the treasury regarding the attitude which we as citi-
zens of the United States should take toward our neigh
boring republic of Mexico.
We have been informed, and we believe correctly in
formed, that the department of state is making most
strenuous efforts to bring about a renewal of the oldtime
cordial relations which existed between the United States
and Mexico.
1t is no secret that the Valley is depending for its
future development on the renewal and the maintenance
of those cordial relations, and certainly every effort is
being made by residents of this section to bring about q
mutual understanding with our friends to the south.
Certainly the efforts of the department Of state and
of citizens of the Valley are not aided by loose statements
such as the one issued Monday by Acting Secretary Of the
Treasury Lowman.
When Mr.. Lowman referred to Texas border towns
as suffering from moral and financial degradation he
cast a slur unwarranted in either fact or theory on the
citizens of both Mexico and the United States who live
along the Rio Grande.
When he referred to gambling, smuggling, thievery
and other lawbreaking' he displayed a colossal ignorance
of conditions in both his own and a neighboring country.
The crime record Of cities along the Rio Grande on
the United States side will bear a favorable comparison
with that Of any cities in the United States, not excepting
the capital of the nation where Mr.. Lowman makes his of
fetal residence.
Order maintained in restaurants, cafes and night
clubs in Mexican cities will bear a most favorable COM
parison with the revelry Of the night clubs and popular
cafes in Washington.
If the treasury department is so worried about the
smuggling of liquor across the border, we suggest that all
bridges leading from the United States into Canada be
closed Immediately, as the little trickle that flows across
the Rio Grande is nothing as compared to the stream Of
illicit beverages which pouts into this country from
Canada.
However, we find in his implication that smuggling
is done across the international bridges a very good reason
for the taking of prohibition enforcement from the de-
partment which Mr.. Lowman graces.
The whole thing is childish, this spectacle of one de-
partment of the government apparently ignorant Of what
goes on in an another department, and still more ignor-
ant of conditions as they exist in sections where authority
is asserted.

There was no doubt that the
youth across the table was aware
OF this. For nearly a year Bob
Farrell and Norma had cen spend

hunting out new dining places,
dropping into the big movie pal

sometimes taking long bus rides.
During the summer these eXpedi-
tions had increased. Now In Sep

Norma and Bob spent at least two
evenings together. They read the

plays. Norma, who spent five and
onc-half days each week al die
