Commission, of which the Employ
ment Service is a division, will

that the applicant for benefits
must file an application for en-
ployment with the State Employ
ment Service and report there reg

President Speaks for America

President Speaks for America
President Roosevelt spoke
for America, and undoubtedly
for a large section Of German
opinion as well, when he spoke
Of the shocking events of the
last few days in Germany.
Ordinarily it would be improp-
er for the head of one state to
comment publicly on the do
mestic affairs of another. But
in this case, with public crit
icism in Germany suppressed,
it is entirely fitting that the
President should voice the in
dignation felt by decent peo-
pie everywhere on an outburst
Of medieval barbarism.
If outrages On the scale per
petrated in Germany at the
instigation Of the Nazi gov
ernment should be passed
over in silence, the standards
Of civilization would be weak
ened throughout the world

Flood
Continued From First Page.)

Hankow, China's provisional capital,
300 miles south Of Chengchow.
Mr.. Baker emphasized, however, the
course of Yellow River floods never
could be predicted with certainty.
Waters of the Hwai River, farther
south, and in the Grand Canal, also
were said to be rising rapidly.
The river, besides cutting off the
Japanese advance and hindering its
communications, was sending a stream
Of Chinese peasant refugees toward
the west. driven from their homes
by the rising waters.
There Is theory" Mr.. Baker said,
that the water, if there is enough
force behind 1t, may cut through Ho-
nan Province south into the Hwai
River Basin, moving southwark from
the old river bed into Anhwei Prov
ince."
He called attention to the fact the
dixie breaks were occurring farther
west than in 1885, the year OF the last
great food.
Should the food follow the lines of
1885, military experts pointed out, the
japanese occupation of the area would
be jeopardized.
Then 5000 square miles of Southern
Shantung, Northern Honan and North
ern Kiangsu Provinces were devastated.
The flood struck directly into the
territory recently occupied by the jap
anese army and left millions homeless.
1t was estimated $4,000, 100000 cubic
yards Of water flowed across the fiat
land into Weishan Lake, near the
Shantung -Kiangsu border, from July
10 to September that year, with the
rate of flow at about 1000 cubic yards

radio address last night that there
has been "a growing tendency on the
part of relief agencies to engage in
politics."
Sees No Justification.
Political necessity cannot justify
politics in relief" he said, "and po-
litical advantage thus gained Will not
be enduring"
(Senator Wheeler's address was
delivered in the National Radio
Forum, arranged by The Evening
Star and broadcast over a Nation
wide network of the National
Broadcasting Co. The text of his
speech is on page B-12)
Senator BulkIey, Democrat, of Ohio,
told a radio audience creation of a
committee to hear any charges of
politics in the w. P. A. would be of
real public value.
If any political use is being made
OF relief money it can be promptly ex-
posed" he said IF groundless and
irresponsible falsehoods are being cir
culated the lack of truth or substance
in them can be officially established. 4"
Senator Bulkley, who is up for re-
nomination, said, "It may be taken
for granted that the President and
the high officers of his administra-
ton would like to help elect to both
houses candidates who are in harmony
with his program"
Test Of Political Skill.
"Yet the dignity OF the presidential
office is inconsistent with too much
political activity in the primary cam
paigns, and the infinite variety of
these primary contests will afford q
very severe test of the Presidents
political skill In many cases there
probably will be no indication of
definite preference"
Discussing the w. P. A. Senator
Bulkley cited regulations that no
worker will lose his job because of
his vote in any election or for his
failure to contribute to campaign
funds"
Expressing confidence in the fair
ness of top-ranking w. P. A. admin
istrators. he added that in an or
ganization as large as w. P. A. there
might be "a few minor officials out
at the end of the line who will misuse
their positions for political purposes.

engineers and the Federal Power Com
mission.
Under the conference committee bill,
the Federal Government would en-
bark on national program of flood
control without expense to local gov
ernments except for purely local works,
such as flood walls and levees. For
these, local governments would be re-
quired to furnish property rights.
The bill lists $50 local flood wall and
levee projects and 100 reservoirs and
dam projects eligible for construction
Besides project expenditures, the
measure proposes appropriation of
$l0,000,00o for surveys by the War De-
partment and the Department of Agri-
culture. The Power Commission would
receive $1,500,00O for hydroelectric
surveys.
