Hirohito Has Made Huge
Personal Fortune by War

While the Japanese look upon
their emperor as god with no
thought of earthly things such as
money, Hirohito has made the
greatest fortune in history since
attacking China in 1887, says Col
ier's.
Through war profits and in
creased values of his personal
holdings in every important enter
prise in his empire, Hirohito has
enlarged his wealth, according to
an informed source, from about

terways and their inhabitants, flora
and fauna. On the other hand, he is
all for the encouragement of con-
structive construction which will
work in the opposite direction.
He thinks we have overdone the
damming; he questions the economy
Of retaining land at a great capital
cost per acre with certain irrigation
projects. These, Reid opines, like
wise often destroy fish by cutting
them off from their spawning
grounds. He mentions the dams in
the Columbia river which, he says,
threaten a ten million dollar annual
salmon take.
That is the effect of hydromania
resulting from well-intentioned and
unselfish but unwise use of the engi-
neering art. He points out that any
thing which kills fishes and inter-
feres with the nations wildlife is in
terfering with one of the nations
major industries. He estimates that
the total expenditure in hunting and
fishing, including licenses, equip
ment and other incidentals, reaches
billion dollars year and therefore
constitutes a major American indus
try and one which should be pro-
tected.
Reid also stresses the esthetic and
recreational values destroyed in the
building Of great dams and reser-
voirs as well as by the pollution Of
streams.

preaching of the big dams that would
be Immediately above Washington.
The engineers DESIRE" says Mr..
Reid solemnly, ito pour concrete in
prodigious quantities, impound great
areas of water behind magnificent
monuments to engineering, dig
bitches and canals, bore tunnels and
otherwise remake the landscape Of
America, is quite irrepressible.
However, what he and his
colleagues are now most concerned
in eradicating is pollution and that,
I think, will meet the approval of
most people even if they won't go
all the way with Mr.. Reid concern
ing hydromania.
Protection against pollution, the
proponents of the Mundt bill insist,
won't cost thin dime" because
the money saved by eliminating the
need of purifying polluted water will
more than make up for it.
Besides destruction of aesthetic
and property values, it is pointed
out that pollution is growing men
ace to health. The Mundt bill would
give the states every chance to clean
up their own situations but. it is ar
gued, "since streams flow by grav-
ity without any regard for state
boundaries pollution is logically and
constitutionally matter for federal
control"
Provisions to take care Of these
various angles are included in the
Mundt bill Such measures in the
past have been opposed by some
communities which thought it was
cheaper to dump their sewage in the
rivers, and by industrial plants that
felt the same way.
Although machines compete with
humans and with horses and mules
in this war, the dog, never before
used officially by American forces,
has become the competitor Of mech
anized devices.
A dog, by his sense Of smell, can
detect a strange presence at 500 feet.
Up to October / of last year the
army, coast guard and marines had
used over 5000 trained dogs.
The first thing K-9. as they are
called, learns, is to be one-man
dog. They won't accept food from
any but their masters nor will they
allow anyone else to pet them. Then
the training gets more complicated
and includes even parachute Jump
ing. But there is one thing that
these otherwise clever animals cam
not be taught, namely, to tell enemy
troops from their own. This has one
advantage, however - they don't
treat a German wearing an Aneri-
can uniform any differently than if
he weren't an enemy in disguise.
Soldiers sometimes do.

Pollution
Health Peril

The security feature which has
been emphasized in the present war
when the bombing Of dams has
caused such destruction, is another
argument seized upon by Mr.. Reid.
His specific example of this phase
of the argument sent shudder down
my back when he offered as an il
lustration the construction of IA ma
jor dams in the Potomac watershed
which was strongly advocated re-
Gently. If this project had gone
through, he told me, my home town
and the seat Of our government
would have been made extremely
vulnerable to air attack through

Existence of
Fish Mendced

Reid is an engineer himself and Is
not unsympathetic with the great
achievements of his profession. But
his colleagues sometimes outrun
their zeal and he appears perturbed
lest postwar public works activities
threaten our lakes and rivers, their
natural beauty and all that is In
them.
What he is fighting is the kind of
engineering activity, stimulated by
grants-ia-aid from the federal gov
eminent, which will damage the wa

AS the prospects Of fat public
works budgets for the postwar area
arise on the Washington scene, the
planners, big and little, rush up to
drop their pet b1ueprints into the
hopper.
Recently, witnessed the prelini-
naries Of counter-ba1ancing move,
something that might be called
prophylactic effort to save some of
the beneiciaries Of governmental
projects from being killed by too
much kindness. This effort is en-
bodied in a bill presented by Rep.
Karl Mundt of South Dakota, and /
heard sort Of informal preview of
some Of the testimony that will be
offered before the committee on riv-
ers and harbors in it's behalf.
The bill is H.R. $40 and it deals
with protection against pollution Of
the country's waterways. 1t was in
the course Of the preview discussion
that I heard another affection,
"hydromania, a cure for which
may be harder to find. It is said to
result from 'overindulgence in dam
ming" 1t is not mentioned in the
Mundt bill but the connection is OBJ
vious.
The purpose of Mr.. Mundt's meas
ure is as follows:
ITO prevent pollution Of the wa
tiers Of the United States and to cor
rect existing water pollution as a
vital necessity to public health, eco
nonic welfare, healthful recreation.
navigation, the support of invalu-
able aquatic life, and as a logical
and desirable postwar public works
program"
AS I say, Mr.. Mundt doesn't men,
ton hydromania in his bill, but one
of his close friends who had much
to do with writing the legislation has.
He is Kenneth Reid, executive Sec
rotary of the Isaac Walton league.
Since the proposed legislation has
also to do with the problem of pro-
tecting our piscatorial and aquatic
life, / want to quote few Of Mr..
Reid's observations on one kind Of
''killing with kindness which fire.
quently accompanies over-generous
government spending.
Mr.. Reid I should call hydro
phile," for he ardently pleads the
case for what he refers to as 'the
orphan stepchild" Of our natural re-
sources-water. Conservation of the
land is pretty well understood but
water, says Mr.. Reid. ''has been
damned and diverted, drained and
polluted, stolen and wasted. with ut
ter disregard of existing natural
values, with bland unconcern for it's
biological functions and it's public,
aquatic and recreational values"
From the early days Of our ma
ton down to the present time," he
continues (and this is where hydro
mania comes in), water has run
the gantlet of a horde of engineers
whether private or governmental.
