WASTEFUL PROJECTS

Two expensive projects proposed
which would involve the spending of
probably quarter of billion dollars of
government funds may very properly be
abandon ed as a result of recent develop
n2ents. One is the Passamaquoddy scheme
for Harvesting the tides off the coast of
Maine for power purposes, and the other IS
the proposed ship canal across the Florida
peninsula.
The Fassamaquoddy project was prob
ably knocked out by the Supreme Courts
IVA decision which held that the govern
ment could not build works solely for the
production OF electric power The eSti-
mated cost was 40 million dollars or more
Many objections have been raised
against the Florida canal, estimated to
cost between 14O and 200 million dollars.
Many fear that farm and fruit growing
lands would be damaged by a salt water
canal, also that the fresh water supply of
portions of til : state would be contain
mated.
Ship owners are not enthusiastic
about the canal, which they. say would
save little time III getting from the Allan
tic to the Gulf of Mexico, as the progress

tolls are charged they would not use it at
all.
- p f til projects seem to be designed as
The means for further wasteful expendi-
lures on the part of the government. There
is not the slightest need for either Of them,
and while the Senate has rejected the APP
preparation of $12,000,000 to continue the
digging of the canal, there is a possibility
that the sum may be obtained from the APP
proximatc billion dollars the President
has asked for work relief.
The senates disapprOval is only an
advantage which must be followed by con-
tinued efforts to convince those govern
ment agencies that the future of Florida
must not be put in jeopardy undeE the guise

Malnutrition Is Held Responsible
For Failing Health in British Isles

LONDON.-It came as a shock to
the British people when an intensive
recruiting campaign was started
against a highly predictable war, that
two out of three applicants for the
army had to be turned down. They
were physically unfit.
There has now appeared a book
which goes a long way toward ex-
planning that phenomenon. 1t is
"Food, Health and Income" by Sir
John Boyd Orr.
This Scottish scientist, who is known
as the foremost authority in the king
dom on nutrition, puts forward the
claim, backed by figures, that half
the population of the United Kingdom
Is definitely undernourished. More
startling still is his finding that the
lowest income group, numbering
$500, 900 persons, spends no more than
four shillings ($D week on food.
This is 10 per cent of the population.
Twenty per cent of the population,
or 100000 people spend only six
