Many Problems Of
Different Natures.

For instance, the problem Of the
Great Plains area is a problem of
deficient rainfall, relatively high
winds. loose, fra bic soils and un-
suitable agricultural practices. The
natural area for solution of the
Great Plains drought problem is
different from that for the solution
OF dynamic water problems pre-
sented by the rivers which traverse
that area. The rational area for
administration OF a Great Plains
rehabilitation program crosses the
drainage areas Of number Of
parallel major tributaries of the
Mississippi River. 1t should, there
fore. be kept in mind that in es-
tablishing a region for one type of
comprehensive program. parts or all
OF the same area may be included
in a different region for another
type Of comprehensive program,
with the result of a Federal system,
as 1t were, Of programs and admin
istrative areas for solution Of basic
ally different, yet interrelated
problems.
Neither the exact scope nor the
most appropriate administrative
mechanism for regional husbandry
can at the start be projected upon
any single blue print. But it is
important that we set up without
delay some regional machinery to
acquaint us with our problem.

L planning:
Nature has given recurrent and
poignant warnings through dust
storms, floods and droughts that
we must act while there is yet time
II we would preserve for ourselves
and our posterity the natural
sources of a virile national life.
Experience has taught us that
the prudent husbandry of our ma
tional estate requires far-sighted
management. Floods, droughts
and dust storms are in very real
sense manifestation of Natures re-
fusal to tolerate continued abuse
of her bounties. Prudent manage
ment demands not merely works
which will guard against these
calamities, but carefully formu-
lated plans to prevent their occur
renee. Such plans require CO.
ordination OF many related activl-
ties.
For instance. our recent expert
ences Of floods have made clear
that the problem must be ap-
preached as one involving more
than great works on main streams
at the places where major disasters
threaten to occur. There must
also be measures OF prevention
and control among tributaries and
throughout the entire headWaters
areas. A comprehensive plan Of
flood control must embrace not
only downstream levies and food
ways, and retarding dams and
reservoirs on maj jor tributaries, but
also smaller dams and reservoirs
on the lesser tributaries, and
measures Of applied conservation
throughout an entire drainage
area, such AS restoration OF for
ests and grasses on inferior lands,
and encouragement Of farm prac-
tices which diminish run-on and
prevent erosion on arabic lands.

Should Solve
Problem From Bottom.


Taking care Of our natural es-
tate, together with the stopping
OF existing waste and building it
back to a higher productivity, is
national problem. At last we
have undertaken a national policy.
But it is not wise to direct every
thing from Washington. National
planning should start at the bot
tom, or, in other words, the prob
lens Of townships, counties and
States should be co-ordinated
through large geographical regions
and come TO the Capitol of the
Nation for final o-ordination.
Thus the Congress would receive
a complete picture IN which no
local detail had been overlooked.
1t is also we'll to remember that
improvements Of our national heri-
tage frequently confer special bene-
flts upon regions Immediately
affected, and large measure OF
cooperation from State and local
agencies in the undertakings and
financing of important projects
may fairly be asked for.
Any division OF the United States
into regions for the husbandrv of
its resources must possess some de-
gree of flexibility. The area most
suitable as region for the carry
ing out OF an integrated program
designed 10 prevent floods is the
basin including the watersheds of
a pivotal river But other problems,
dependent upon other combina-
tions OF natural economic and
social factors. may require some
what different area to permit the
most effective functional program.

Pig iron makes even better
shells than scrap" states one
of the junk dealers spokesman.
so far this year the steel mills
of America have exported no
less than 653,369 gross tons of
pig iron, of which 363,047 tons
went to Japan and 191,547 tons
to the United Kingdom.
Compare those figures with
the 1886 exports of pig iron,
which totaled only 1901 tons,
of which 2,152 tons went to
Japan. Quite a difference. An
increase in fact of 2,100 per

NEW YORK, Dec. Tom
Girdler and his brother steel
barons have turned patrioteers, #
not pacifists, so far as the Ameri-
can junk heap is concerned.
They view with alarm the eXpor-
tation of iron and steel scrap as a
menace to American labor, Ameri-
can national welfare, American
business recovery, American for
eign trade, American naval pro-
grams and world peace.
SEE WAR SPECTRE
They see the spectre of war
looming on the horizon and they
visualize the junkman as giving
aid and comfort to a future enemy.
Why" they ask, in profusely
illustrated pamphlets issued
from propaganda headquarters
at so East Forty-second st. Sup
ply Japan, Italy, Great Britain
and other nations with steel and
iron scrap for domestic and war
purposes-at the expense of
American"
And, sounding a conservation
note, they cite the fact that for
the years 1884, 1885 and 1886, the
United States sold to Japan, Italy
and the United Kingdom COM
bined iron and steel scrap equiva-
lent to more than 100000 tons
of iron ore of this country.
COST INITIATION
They contend that this heavy
expectation has caused a general
cost initiation of basic raw ma
terals here that has forced steel
companies to raise the prices of
their products. incidentally, dur
ing the first nine months of 1887,
18 Of the nations leading steel
companies reported an increase of
142 per cent in net profits as COM
pared with the same period last
year.
How much American scrap may
be fired back at our own forces in
scmc future WARP" they ask. Their
objective is limitation Of scrap ex-
portation.
Presenting the other side of the
picture are the junk dealers them
selves. most of whom are affiliated
with the Institute of Scrap Iron
and Steel, II West Forty-second
st. Benjamin Schwartz, a lawyer,
is its director general.
HIT STEEL BARONS
There are 100000 junk collec-
tors and distributors in America.
Their spokesman denounce the
steel barons as seeking through
Federal legislation to shut the

and beat the price down by
centralized buying.
"The steel trust isn't talking
patriotism: it's talking bunk"
they assert. "Steel can't fool
anybody by waving the Amer
lean flag over scrap"

too, have their statistical argu-
ments. They point out that of the

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 8, President Franklin D. Roose- welt today sent his multi-billion dollar budget to congress, and in his message, bluntly left the com plete balance of federal income and outgo, up to industrial re- employment efforts.
 With certain exceptions he told congress that the new 1888 bud get ''is in balance and would remain so if later relief require ments do not exceed the estimat- ed $1,537,l23,OOO
 Then, after forecasting new public debt peak next June of from thirty to thirty-five billion, twenty-six million dollars, des pite sharply increased income, the President added:
 "It is my conviction that if every employer or potential em- ployer will undertake during the next six months, to give employ ment to persons now receiving government help, the national budget can thereafter be kept de- finitely in balance"
 Included in the budget is a re- cord-breaking peace time nation al defense fund of nearly a bill ion dollars, including money to start work on two fifty million dollar battleships, increased ex- penditures for airplanes, ordnan- ce equipment and expanded per sonnel in both the army and the navy.
 It also asked for an appropria- ton of $98O,7 1000, an increase of $92, ,882, ,OO0 over the estimated outlay for the current year end ing June Both.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. s, Pres ident Roosevelt, unheeding the dispute over curbing the power of the Supreme Court, made a second brisk move to achieve the goals of the MIRA by seeking to speed the ratification of the child labor amendment.
 In letters to the governors and governors-elect of nineteen stat es to meet this winter, he asked favorable action on the proposal which has been pending since 1884. Only twelve more states are needed to make the act the twen- ty-second amendment to the Con stitution of the United States, as twenty-four states have already ratified the act.
 Roosevelt wrote: "It is clear ly indicated that child labor, eS- pecially in the low paid, unstan- dardized types of work, is in- creasing."

 Two other G-Men cars were reported leaving here also, on the mountain highway southeast, to- ward Rainier park. At least 20 federal agents left their hotel at 4:3O am. this morning.
 Less than an hour after the cars raced through Olympia, a travelling man notified the police headquarters there that men from three cars had stopped his auto and searched him, then ordered him to s'beat it."

work just as well, can be obtained
which would lower the cost to
around $50 per mile.
