DR.. Bowman Warns
Hopkins Students
Reds Are Ruthless
BY the Assoeioisd Press

BALTIMORE, Sept. 22. - DR.
Isaiah Bowman, president of Johns
Hopkins University and geographic
cal adviser to the late President
Roosevelt during World War II,
said today that Communism is alb
solutism designed to be more ruth
less and complete than Czarism.
Only the label is changed"
In an address to incoming stu
dents at the university, DR.. Bow
man delivered a denunciation of the
Russian government, and said:
II do not fear the U. S. s. r. to-
day. I only fear that our people
will not act in time to give our
strength the expression and the
means that warn so aggressive, ar
bitrary, corrupt and powerful gov
eminent of the folly OF starting a
war.
Favors Universal Service.
For this reason all universities
are concerned about our new mill
tary service law"
He said universal service law was
needed IF we are to distribute mill
tary risks and responsibilities fairly
and at the same time get public, in
Guiding congressional support"
Nothing in the regimes Of the
Cars. bad as some of them were
can show such a high degree OF
organization for evil, such vicious
use of power, as the regime of the
Soviets," DR.. Bowman said. a.
Helped Map European Boundaries.
After the World WarcI Dr. Bow.
man was chief territorial specialist
for the American peace delegation
to Paris and helped draw the new
European boundary lines. At that
time he was president of the Ameri-
can Geographical Society.
I'm all directionsi--- Bosphorils

Gulf-the U. S. S. r. is pushing out
for ports and what is thought tc
give security to such ports, namely
the complete police control of one
after the other Of the smaller
States that stand in the way.
Indeed the push toward such
ports is nov but a detail of a. larger
push, the spread of communism by
every means, fair and fowl, con-
ceived by handful of men anxious
to protect themselves by imposing
their evil system on the whole world

Weather Unit Heads
OF $ Nations Open
Conference Here.

Proposal to put international ex-
change Of weather. information, vital
to present day forecasting, on a
treaty basis will be a major issus
before directors of the meteorological
cervices of SO nations. who opened
meetings at the State Department
this afternoon.
The meeting here, which will con-
tinue for the next two weeks, follows
sessions of the International Mete-
geological Union technical commits
sions at Toronto where standardized
procedures for weather information
exchange were adopted The con-
clusions will be approved by the
directors here.
For the last 10 years, since the
foundation of the International
Meteorological Union, exchange of
weather data has been almost en-
eirely by gentlemen's agreement be-
tween the directors themselves, who
have met every six years. Most of
the time, 1t is explained, this system
has worked very we'll but 1t has been
hampered occasionally by lack of
funds made available to the weather
service by various countries.
During and since the war. however.
weather forecasting has been much
more of an exact science, depending
on a constant world picture of
hourly weather changes. .-
Between much of the world there
now is an exchange Of data every six
hours, and any serious interruption
would disrupt the entire system.
There has been some difficulty over
lack of standard numerical code
for this exchange.
Approximately 100 weather service
directors and their assistants now
are In Washington and will meet
daily in the international conference
suite of the State Department. The
conference will formally open to-
night at the Pan American Union

out to be the greatest development of
ancient or modern times. Before its
establishment the unfortunate inhabit-
ants of the Tennessee drainage basin
had suffered from all the ills visited
on the people of the Missouri Valley
and from the same causes. The Ten
nesse drainage basin is small compar-
ed to the great Missouri basin, con-
tanning only about $1,000 square miles
as compared to over a half million
square miles for the latter, but mil
lions of dollars worth of damage had
frequently been done by the floods,
much valuable land and property had
been destroyed and thousands of peo-
pie had been forced to flee their homes
and try to make a living elsewhere.
All this has been changed. The Ten

- years ago that it was providing only
miserable living for most of its peo-
pie is today our nations most promis-

agriculture are developing together in

Entire Nation Would Benefit From
establishment of MVA
In answering the second question:
"Who would benefit by an MVA?" it
is obvious that an area so stupendous
as the Missouri basin, containing more
than half million square miles of ter
ritory and with present population
of more than seven millions of people,
would, if developed as the Missouri
Valley Authority would develop it,
benefit not only the people living with
in the valley itself but would benefit
the people of the entire nation, yes,
even the big interests which are now
opposing it. A Missouri Valley Auth
GRITTY would be of immediate benefit
to our own International Union. Thous-
ands of our members are dwelling and
working in the great Missouri valley
in various industries and thousands
more would be here if the valley were
