fury.
Present methods of transmitting sea water
into fresh water are not feasible, either from
the standpoint of cost or quantity. At cost
comparable to the price now paid for city
water, we must find way literally to create
rivers from the sea.
ca. Pay fer Itself
lHE Department of the Interior has asked
Congress for $5O,OOO,O 900 to find way to
perform this miracle. With this $50,OOOO 900
scientists will first develop the best means for
distilling sea water, and then will use this
method in pilot plant. As soon as tho pilot
this water viii be sold, and the plant will
pay for itself, at least in part.
If we fail, we will have lost crucial battle
in that war between man and nature which
knows no peace and no armistice. On one flank
man wins victory with the use of his new
magic drugs, like penicillin and streptomycin.
On the other flank nature has ferreted out
one of mans weaknesses profligate waste
of natural resources - and is on the attack.
The tidings of defeat in the preliminary skir-
mishes are already pouring in from the front.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of irrigated
lands are being kept in production only through
serious over-pumping of the existing water
supply. Natural reservoirs built up by Nature
over hundreds of centuries are now being
drained in decades.
The fact is that some of our most highly
productive areas are being emptied of water
at rates more than double the safe yield

TTwAs an incredible situation. On every road
Il into TX Zone, U. U.SA., armed guards halted
automobiles and turned back tourists who
lacked visitors permits. Trains were stopped
at the state borders, passengers were forced
to show their special visas Airports were
patrolled and checked, for even passenger

spring to settle.
1t was incredible, but everyone admitted it
was necessary TX Zone" had barred immiga-
ton. There was not sufficient water for its
own citizens, much less for additional mi
grants. It was 1875.
This is not only what can happen but almost
certainly will happen unless America per-
forms miracle. 1t is imperative that we turn
the salt seas into fresh water. We must tap
the ocean to relieve the emergency. There is
already talk of water shortage in the South
west. But it doesn't stop there: elsewhere in
our country the water tables are falling alarm
ingly. The result can well spread and threaten
the well-being of Our whole nation.
49, Deadline Cosnin1
SCIENTISTS studying this national danger
have set 1875 as the date by which some
drastic action will have to be taken. If. for
example, the population of the West continues
to increase at its present rate. some experts
estimate that all possible resources Of fresh
water will be in full use by then in certain
areas.
Actually, the crisis is upon us now. In the
