Post-Dispatch

The failure of the Army Engineer
ITO come to grips with the flood prof.
lem on the Columbia river become
lmore evident as more becomes know
about the recent disastrous flood
there.
Lack of forestation was one of The
major cause of the floods, the United
States Forest Service reports. Mil
lions of acres of forests in the water
shed had been denuded, principally by
fires. A large amount of snow &C
cumulated, and a sudden hot spell
melted it all at once.
Foresters know how to manage
woodlands in the interest of flood con-
troll by making trees protect snow
from sun and wind, which melt it.
Their knowledge has been increased
in recent years by revolutionary dis
coveries of the Rocky Mountain For
est and Range Experiment Station, at
Fort Collins, Colo. These discoveries
make it possible to increase the
amount of useful water from snow by
as much as 80 per cent
In the Missouri valley we need for
estation to control the melting of snow
even more than the Columbia valley
needs it. We need it, as does the
Columbia valley, for protection against
floods We also need it to increase
our always insufficient supply of
water on the land.
We need forestation for it's own
sake, too.
In order for forestation to serve the
purposes which it should be serving
in the Missouri valley, the develop
ment of this region must be in the
hands of men who know what it can
do and who intend to use it to the
utmost.
Are the Army Engineers, who hold
the whip hand in the present program,
such men?
All the evidence points out that
they are not.
They are not in practice, or foresta-
ton would not have been neglected
in the Columbia valley as the recent
floods prove it to have been
They are not in theory, either The
late Maj. Gen. Edgar Jadwin, then
Army Engineers chief, said in 1928 in

PACKERS WANT fewer
FARMERS

Shortly after World War I, some of
the leading spokesman for the food
industries, particularly the meat pack
ers, began to press for government
action to curtail production. Thomas
E. Wilson, president of the American
Meat Institute, was one of the noisiest
and most ardent advocates of a crop
reduction program.
In his reduction speeches, Thomas
E. Wilson laid heavy stress on the fact
that the trend line of per capita meat
consumption had long been declining
in the us. The solution offered by
Wilson as spokesman for the meat
packers was that the government
should restrict livestock production
not that the meat trust should lower
its profit margin and permit an expan-
sion of consumption.
To advance the crop. reduction pro-
gram. the us. Chamber of Commerce
and the National Industrial Confer
ence Board, creature OF the National
Association of Manufacturers, Jointly
published in November 1927 Report
on the Conditions of Agriculture, writ
ten by the Business Mems Commission
on Agriculture. The report OF these
bankers, professors and implement
manufacturer declared:
"Effective reimbursement of the eco
nomic disparities between agricultuF-
al and urban life will inevitably re-
ouire a further decrease in the number

priations, which reflect the Army En-
gineers' thinking Forestation is not

PUBLIC PRESSURE

sion for Europe (ECE) with approval by I'M
animous vote of eighteen members in the
UN council, including United and Russia, has
worked out a broad, long term plan for East
West trade and economic collaboration in all
Europe. You can't trade through an iron
curtain or across war front. But we are
officially getting ready to trade.
On top Of these and other important minor
developments our diplomats and policy MAX
ers are now literally camping on Joe Stalin's
doorstep. They now want exactly what Joe
said he wanted six or eight months ago. They
want top level conference that will try to
iron out all the tangled affairs of Germany
That one conference will accomplish all this
at the present time or in the immediate future
may be too much to hope. Regardless of i'm
mediate results, the right step in the right
direction has now been taken. 1t should
have been taken six or eight months ago.
great many things are evidently respon-
sible for the sudden and what appears to be
complete change in United States foreign
poicy-for the time being at least. Russia
did not quail before our bluff. She simply
kept her mouth shut and prepared to meet
force by force. By one means or another
virtually every country in Europe threw cold
water our overheated war mongerers.
An overwhelming majority of European
people want whatever help and whatever re-
Mobilization measures and goods they can get
out of the Marshall plan They do not pro-
pose to make their countries future battle
sectors for the sake of little temporary re-
lief now
That this is an election year is an unmeas-
ured blessing. The foreign bipartisan pol
icy may burst wide open, but Mr.. Dewey
and his Republican brethren are not going to
willingly accept any larger share of blame
than necessary for the fiasco that has piled
up. Ditto for President Truman and his
Democratic supporters. They think the Re-
publicans should take at least half, perhaps
a little more, of the blame. Moreover, both
sides have to keep their eyes on Henry Wal
lace and Glen Taylor. These Progressive
party leaders have been calling the shots and
predicting exactly what would happen ever
since last January.
The overwhelming and final power in the
whole comedy of procedure thus far has been
the united, almost unanimous and deter
mined opposition of the common people, not
only in the United States, but all over Europe.
In thousands of ways not recorded in the
press these have made themselves heard
They want no more war What they are
getting now, may be only truce until after
election. What they want is a permanent

whole lot of things began to happen. There

the glad tidings, and in top policy making
circles everything is still shush-shush, stop

leaking out. Our war mongering gentry
from top to bottom have had to dig into storm
cellars, revise policies, and lay down a new

has happened IN foreign policy. The changes
that have come in this short time look like
a complete reversal.

there will be no more of the "get tough

separate nation. A loose confederation of
German states, which is exactly what there is
now, will be good enough for the future.
There is now considerable doubt in the

WHY DID THE REPUBLICANS

why the Republicans chose Dewey as
their candidate. He has repeatedly

WHAT is DEWEY's POSITION ON
FOREIGN POLICY? -.
The best index to Dewey's attitude
on foreign policy is to be found in the

of the powerful Anglo-German bank
which has numerous cartel connec-
tions, and which played leading role
in re-arming German industrial and
military might.

us. representative for Nazi-German
and Franco-Spanish interests.
In 1889, Dulles said: "On1y hysteria
