Stream Ratification
 Plan Partly Granted
Lonergans National Programs Favors Broader Fed-
 eral Authority Over Pollution Contrdo

Washington, D. CA special ad- visory committee on water pollution has submitted a report to the na- tional resource board in favor of broader federal authority over pol- lution control, in cooperation with state authorities, according to 8 copy of the report just submitted to Senator Lonergan, Connecticut, who is sponsoring 8 national pro- gram for stream purification.
 "There is no apperciable demand indicated by state agencies for an extension of federal control over water pollution" the report states. except that they generally ad- vocate cooperation by the federal government by means of financial aid, by making available to the states the results of research and surveys, and in active coordination and stimulation of local measures of control.
 Federal regularity authority over the control of water pollution, while subject to constitutional linita- tions, may nevertheless be broad ened by congress.
 "As a means of dealing legisla- lively with the interstate problems the water utilization, the inter- state compact method is used as yet but little. It has been advo- cated, but not effectuateds in con- nection with water-pollution prob- lems. Its possibilities as applied to such problems have not been sufti- ciently tested and further consider ation therefore should be given to compactS as aide to the solution of the problem of pollution admin is tration and control.
 "The conclusion is inevitable" 1" the report continues, "that although interstate compacts inherently may offer a hopeful means of abating the pollution of interstate streams. something more is necessary to make them effective. There is real desire on the part of state agencies that the federal government should act in a guiding, stimulating and advisory capacity. Such action would be in accord with precedent and would promote conditions which would guard against discrimina- ton between local interests and be- tween the interests of separate regions"
 Senator Lonergan said that the report recommends changes in the laws of most of the states, includ- ing authorization of mandatory powers to compel the installation of suitable puriflcation equipment, removing limitations on bonding or taxing power of municipalities to

ships for scrap iron.
 Japan already controls 90 per cent of the usable iron resources in China, anyway, through invest- mentS.
 Hopei is largely an agricultural region, whose rice and soy beans might well come in handy for crowded Japan, and a center for the raising of horses, mules, and other livestock. Chahar is agricul- tural, but also has iron ore re- serves.
 In all this region, Japan has. during the last few years, been wangling trade advantages in the way of tariffs and concessions. These northern provinces, in which Japan is now trying to foment a secession movement, are relatively progressive for China.
 In Shansi, for instance, the only concerted effort at reforestation has been made to combat the bar renness China has brought on her. self by destroying her forest cover Japanese railway lines, with one eye on opening the interior up to trade with the coast and with Manchukuo, and the other on pos sible war with Russia, would prob- ably be welcomed.

ern buildings and railroads.
 And of course the opening wider of market for exports among the nearly 100,000,000 people living in the five provinces is an incentive. SHUTS OUT SOVIET
 From the political point of view, the Japanese object is clear. These provinces complete a territorial wedge between China and Russia, and include strategic centers, such as Kalgan, which cut of the land route between China proper and Russia.
 They tend to hem in outer Mon- golia, in which Russia is playing the same game of peaceful pene- tration" that always precedes the Japanese military moves, and to separate 1t from the Chinese So- viets in Kiangsi and Human.
 But the. chances are that mar kets, coal, iron, and cotton weigh heavier on Japanese minds than political and military advantages. Last year, for instance, Japan sent four times as much goods to Manchuria as to China proper, and for the first time exported more goods to Manchuria than to the United States.
 Similar development in the five northern provinces is the Japanese aim.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-11-29

The provinces of ShanSi, Hopei (ChuhlD, and Shantung are all cot ton-growing regions. Major Gen. eral Kenji Doihara, 'The Lawrence of Manchuria," who smoothed the Japanese path into Manchukuo be- fore the troops occupied it, and who has been active in fomenting the separatist move in North China, has been urging for some- time that Japanese cotton experts be brought in. It is mere than likely that they are already there. DOUBLE BLOW AT U. s.
 Remember that Japanese cotton concessions in Ethiopia were

the present Japanese cotton cloth, which is regarded as trade mem ace by both the United States and Great Britain. Thus the United States would suffer not only loss of a great market for raw cotton, but further loss of markets for ex- ported cotton cloth.
 GREAT IRON INDUSTRY, TOO
 But there is more in the coveted five provinces than potential cotton fields. In Shansi is the oldest iron industry in the world, which has been producing iron for 2O00 years. That is because the province con-

brought to light when the Italian adventure there was begun. That is how eager Japan is to develop its own sources of raw cotton.
 If the North China fields could be made to yield large part of the cotton Japan now imports from the United States, it could be cheaply taken to Japan and made there into piece goods.
 These could be sold in China and the East even more cheaply than

 Under the proposals the federal government would extend loans to the states and municipalities and industries to aid in installing of purification equipment. Erection of 8 demonstration unit on the Po- tomac river near Washington was also recommended, 50 that state and city officials could be invited to see in operation modern types of equipment for dispocal of in- dustrial waste and sewage. Senator Lonergan said that the report has aroused considerable in- terest and that he has had in- quiries from prominent attorneys of the administration who are draft ing special legislation on the sub- ject.
 Mayor William N. McNair, ot Pittsburg, has also informed Sem ator Lonergan of an intensive program to eliminate pollution along the Clarion river and its tributa- ries in Pennsylvania, and hos soc licited his support in obtaining federal assistance.
