What David e. Lilienthal, chairman
of the iva, says of that great ven
ture in cooperation can also be said
of the Missouri Valley, if only the
people will it: For the first time since
the trees fell before the settlers AK,
America set out to command nature
not by defying her, as in that wasteful
past, but by understanding and acting
upon her first law - the oneness of
men and natural resources, the unity
that binds together land, streams, for
ests, minerals, farming, industry, man
kind
What hope is there? The Post-Dis-
patch puts it this way:
1t is great valley. Up and down
the 2,475 miles of valley itself, from
the mountains at 1900 feet to the
low plains at the rivers mouth, men
must change the loyalty restricted to
their own sections, and transfer it to
regional, national loyalty and inter-
est 1t is only by this means that
the interests of all the people can be
best served, by working together to-
ward common solution. In the past
we have splintered our lances against
each others shields; blunted our
swords to no purpose; divided our
selves into partisan camps in which
the work of one was to nullify the
work of the other. There must be
men up and down the Missouri Valley
who have vision that transcends the
futile rivalries of the past. The
gospel must be preached that the Mis-
souri, is one big river with one big
problem. Here in America the peo-
pies destinies are shaped by the Mis-
souri,, just as on the Nile these thous-
ands of years has shaped the destinies
of those who share its valley.

~eXperiment, to be true, is on NINA
ture scale when compared to the Mis-
souri, Valley. The IVA has brought
new wealth to 10000 square miles OF
watershed, the Missouri Valley EN-.
braces over half-million square miles
But the obstacles now raised against
Missouri Valley development are not
new They are the same ones raised
II years ago, the same kind that were
raised against IVA. There is the
question: why should we irrigate and
valley when we now have periods of
surplus? The answer is the same:
surplus is a question of market, and
a higher standard of living increases
consumption Some say there is no
need for additional power. The an
swer: industry, wealth and usage ira
ditionally follow new resources.
But let us see what already has
been done in the Tennessee Valley,
in it's 10000 miles of watershed. In
1914, despite a merciless rainfall that
for February was the heaviest in 81
years, the valley of the Tennessee was
serene and untroubled. The water
was within it's banks. Great barges
ply their placid course. Power is gen
Grated in a steady flow that the vital
works of war-aluminum, explosives
and the like-may be produced with
out interruption. The people of the
valley are made prosperous by the
river and are free from fear of it.
How has this been done? 1t has
been done by building great and in
tegrated system of dams and reser-
voirs which hold back the water in
time of heavy rainfall and which re-
lease it when and where it is needed.
1t has been done by improved agri-
cultural and forestry methods which
hold water in the land.
1t must be recognized by all, the
editors of the Post-Dispatch insist,
that never, short of a regional autono-
nous, unified authority, can the Mis-
souri, Valley be developed to the full
measure of it's resources. There must
be an end to endless and futile strug-
gle between one interest and another.
Unity must replace civil war.
Former Senator George W. Norris
of Nebraska, the father of iva, also
was aware that the problems of the
Missouri Valley are too vast to be
undertaken by private enterprise, or
even by individual states. When God
made the Missouri Valley, He paid no
attention to state lines. The only
way we can develop it is for mankind
to work according to basin-wide
plan, not piecemeal
The Tennessee Valley is an object
lesson that the sectionalism which is
at times quite apparent in the Mis-
souri, Valley can give way to unity
and the greater benefit of ALL AL
ready there are number of plans
put forward. There is the Missouri
River States Committee, made up of
the governors of Missouri, Kansas,

farms to show the value of erosion
control, better livestock and new crops
and improved farming methods. There
must be local autonomy The people
of the community, of each commun-
ity, must have pride in what they
are doing. And certainly, the under
taking of such project, affecting
either directly or indirectly the lives
of over IL million people in nine
states, cannot but help have an effect
on regional resource development aft
er the war. 1t can be made an effec-
tive instrument of free, cooperative
democracy. 1t can have spiritual
as well as an economic force to slim
ulate businessmen, farmers and work
ers.

work out a unified plan that would
best serve all the valley-not just in
terms of electrical power or barge
lines or flood control-but of all of
these together
To take the old course, the tradi-
tional, political pork-barrel course, can
only mean that Army Engineers will
be put in charge of flood control and
navigation, the Reclamation Bureau
will look after irrigation, the states
will jealousy guard their boundaries
and their rights, and each will be
fighting for funds and attention.

THIS IS A MAP of the great Amer
lean valley which is drained by the
wild and turbulent river called the
Missouri. In this valley of 529,350
square miles live nearly 10 million
people. The land produces corn, wheat
and cattle in great abundance. With
irrigation it could produce more. With
water power it could have industry.
The best possible sources of informa-
ton compute that the ultimate cost of
a unified irrigation, reclamation and

Warehouse Crews
In Cooperatives
Not Farm Help

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 3. (UP)-
Warehouse employees Of a farmers
cooperative are not agricultural
laborers" and SO are subject to pro-
visions of the state unemployment
insurance act, the state supreme
court ruled Tuesday.
The court held that the Butte
County Rice Growers association
must pay unemployment insurance
taxes on workers in its warehouse
in Richvale, California.
The decision was considered to
set precedent in the definition
of agricultural labor" which is
exempt from the unemployment in
surance act. The court noted in its
opinion that such labor is not closely
defined in the act.
Farmer cooperatives are becom-
in increasingly numerous" the de-
cision pointed out, and while oper-
ated as distinct entities in activities
such as warehousing, conducted
separately and apart from farming
operations and at a distance
should not be treated in a differ
ent manner from any other con-
Germ" in unemployment insurance
matters.
T. II. Mugford, a member of the
>tate unemployment staoilization
commission, said he believed the de-
cision would clear up the status
of several thousand employees on the
fringe" of agricultural work, but
may determine the status of some
10000 Others, mostly employed in
falm-operated packing plants.
