More people and the modern
mode Of living have simply
meant an unprecedented de-
mand for that basic requirement
water.
The Potomac basin has been
able to supply enough water for
Its Inhabitants, so far. But en-
gineers have warned that, with
population still soaring, water
shortages are a clear possibility
as soon as Is years from now.
The impact of population on
water supply problems will COM
mand the close attention of
engineers undertaking compre-
hensive studies of the watershed.
Two Studies Noted
One Of these, by the Wash
ington Engineer District of the
Army Engineer Corps. aims to
cover all water supply aspects
of the entire Potomac basin.
The other, under supervision of
the Interstate Commission on
the Potomac River Basin, has
limited its scope to pollution
abatement in the Washington
area.
Assuming that both will be
provided sufficient funds to keep
their projects going-a by-no-
means-easy assumption - these
agencies will file recommended
tons for developing a watershed
capable of supplying water both
adequate and clean far into the
future.
Metropolitan Washington. one
Of the biggest and fasteSt-grow-
ing urban areas in the nation,
is the principal population CEN
ter OF the Potomac basin. 1t has
swelled from less than 100000
residents III 1880 to a seam
bursting 1.9 million now.
Prognosticators have repeat
eddy asserted that by the year
1000 the figure will have reached
nearly million.
While the population growth
has been considerably less spec
tacular around the rest of the
Potomac and its tributaries, it
has nonetheless been steady. A
further influx and expansion of
industry in the outlying reaches
could cause rises of substantial
and sudden proportions.
Reason Given for Concern
Why does a growing population
in the Potomac basin cause con-
Germ. especially since the river
just above Washington, for eX-
ample. averages a daily flow that
has remained fairly constant at
rs billion gallons over the years?
In the first place, the engineers
cannot deal only in terms of
average flows. Their concern is
with minimum flows-those pc
RODS of drought that shrivel the
streams. Washington's lowest of
record was 500 million gallons
one day in 1890. Other compar-
able flows can. and some day will
recur, they reason.

A careful reading of Fogar-

fair to the socialists-will help
American unions and govern

of their unfavorable impress

ready waning enthusiasm for
the socialist unions of West

More specifically, IL will help
them to understand why the
Christian, unions were estab-

what the continuing socialist

Even more important, it will
enable them to see this contro-

realize why 1t is going to take
a little more time-perhaps an
other generation - to effect a
modus vivendi or rapproch-
ment between the religiously
inspired Christian unions and
the additionally anti-clerical

the United States, whereas the

which had little or nothing in
common with American unions.
g(The truth Of the matter is that
the Christian unions of West.

unions much more closely than
the socialist unions do.)
There has also been a ten

Americans to put the blame for

split in the European labor
movement squafely on the
Christian unions.
How often. for example, we
have heard Americans both at

interest of labor unity?", the
implication being that here is
no justification at the present
time, IL there ever was, for the
existence of separate Christian
labor organizations.

some excuse for such ignorance
in the past, there is no excuse
whatsoever now that Professor
