- SURVEY OF ALL RIVERS IS URGED McDuffle Would Seek Power Possibilities of Every Stream in Country. Pointing to the ever increasing de- mand for power in this country, Rep- | resentative John McDuffle of Alabama today before the twenty-third con- vention of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, opening the | New Willard Hotel, urged that the Army engineers make a careful sur- vey of every stream in the countr with a view to determining what power it possesses, At the same time, he disclaimed any idea of having the Government go into the power pro- ducing business, but said that it was & proper function of the Federal Gov- ernment to take stock of its re- sources. Secretary Davis of the War Depart- ment welcomed the delegates to the convention and imparted the inform tion that the Army’s flood control pro- gram would go to the President this afternoon. He also expressed himself as in favor of the present method of providing for river and harbor im- provement by the provision of annual appropriations for specific projects 80 that the people ziven munity could know what to look for- ard to. firmly believe” Secretary said, ‘that we are entering period of greatly incre develop- ment of our water resources along the broad lines laid down by th> War De- partment which will brinx added wealth, progress and prosperity to the whole Nation. In that development we welcome your valuable support. Progress Pointed Out. “At vour last convention there was outlined and discussed the War De- partment plan for river and harbor improvement which is properly co- ordinated with flood control, power development, irrigation and reclama- tion. Development under this plan during the past vear has been most favorable. The authorized work of im- provement of our harbors and water- ways, particularly on the Olio River, has progressed continuously with in- creased volume and smoothness. This 1% in a large measure due to the polic: of a uniform annual appropriation, which T am glad to say seems to be now firmly established. “Adequate plans for future work have been assured by the authoriza- tion at the last session of Congress of comprehensive surveys of most of our important streams with a view to ascertaining the best plan for util- izing our water resources for all purposes. Work on these surveys will be expedited as soon as funds are made available by the present Congress. In the meantime, the great flood of 1927 has drawn the at- tention of the Nation to the lower Mississippi Vallev and stressed the importance of immediate and special measures for flood control there. “While the topic of paramount in- terest to many of us today is flood control, we must not overlook the development of our harbors and waterways as fast as their commer- cial value will justif: I feel sure that the National Rivers and Har- bors Congress will bear this in mind apd that its accom: hment in the aid of this great work will be as outstanding in the future as they have been in the past. Mr. McDuffie attacked the so-called public works bill, which would take from the Army Engineers the duty of handling public improvement and took occasion to deliver a ver high tribute to the corps for its work. He said the proposed meas- ure would provide another bureau to the Government, a condition which was alarming some people in the country as it drifted toward govern- mental bureaus and commissions. He said that the Army Engineers were not perfect, nor did they possess a monopoly on the engineering brains of the country. He challenged ail authority to find a better type of man _or officer than those found in the Engineer Corps of the United States Army. He characterized the measure as the contractors’ relief bill, which came to Congress when it seemed that al- most every one in the country needed some kind of relief. He predicted that such a measure would make it possi- ble for the contractors to get together and fix prices, and added that while the motives behind the bill may be pure, it would set back the public ‘works of the country fully half a cen- tury, and would cost the taxpayers un- told millions of dollars in the long run. Sufficient Funds Urged. There are certa ons of the Government, he s ich private contractors could not carry on, and he said that instead of passing such a measure, Congress should provide funds in sufficient amount to tell the Army Engineers to, go ahead and pro- duce the very best inland waterway system in the world. A strong contrast between what the Canadian government does for its farmers to help them, and what the United tes Government does not do, was pictured before the convention by Mayor George E. Leach of Minne- apolis. The development of Great Lakes ports as ocean ports as urged Harvey Campbell, vice president-se retary of the Detroit Board of Com- merce. He urged repeal of the La Follette seamen’s act as to its appli- cation to the Great Lakes, because he said it was a great burden there. He predicted a wonderful future for the Great Lakes, particularly in connect ing them with the Atlantic Ocean by means of a deep waterway. The lessons, he szid, that may be drawn from the openinz of the Panama Canal and the subsequent development of an intercoastal busi- ness indicate clearly the be t tha will accrue to the Great Lakes ports when there is a deep waterway to the sen Representative Riley Louisiana, president and 8 Thompson secretary-treasurer, annual reports The meeting continues this after- noon and tomorrow, when there will be a special session given over en- tirely to a discussion of flood control in the Mississippi.

Mellon. New Jersey may turn to Senator Edge. What New York will do is a matter of much speculation. It had been expected that it would send a delega- ctically solid for Mr. Hughes. illes, Republican national committeeman from the Empire State, has been emphatic in his demand for the nomination of Hughes. Tod he declined to comment upon the state: ment made by Mr. Hughes. He had said today before seeing the Hughes statement that he believed the delegation wounld be a Hughes delegation beyond doubt. He qualified this remark, however, by saying that it would be necessary to learn whether Mr. Hughes would be “‘receptive” and that he would confer with Mr. Hughes immediately on his return to New The Republican national committee ran into a snarl in its efforts to select a convention city at its meeting today, with the committee badly deadlocked ver Kansas City. the choice of irman William M. Butler, and San cisco. 10 fruitless ballots, the com- mittee took a recess at noon for one hour, intending to resume the contest immediately upon its reconvening. “Like a’ Democratic national con- vention,” was a comment as the com- mittee rose wearily and went its way to luncheon and many private con- ferences. Kansas City Takes Lead. San Francisco, which took the lead early in the balloting, had fallen to second place on the tenth ballot, with Kansas City topping it. The tenth ballot showed Kansas City, 44; San Francisco, 41; Cleveland, 2; ‘Chicago, 3; Philadelphia, 3, and Detroit, 9. Total, 102; necessary to a choice, 52. The report was spread early today that if San Krancisco could not ob- tain the convention, its supporters would seek to throw their strength to Detroit. This effort may be made when the committee resumes. Seattle Quits Fight. As soon as the claims of San An- tonio, Tex., for the convention had been presented by R. B. Creager, na- tional committeeman, Mrs, J. C. Gris- wold, national committeewoman, and others, N. C. Richards, national com- mitteeman for Washington. withdrew the invitation extended by Seattle, de- aring that there should be no di- ion in the demand that the conveh- tion be held on the Pacific Coast and that he would support San Francis- co’s claim. R. W. Shingle, national committee- man for Hawaii, also withdrew the in- vitation from Honolulu, which he said “had been lost in the mails,” and said that the islands would hope for a con- vention in the future. After the committee had adopted a resolution calling for a majority vote of the members present and voting to select the convention city, tha ballot- ing immediately began-without debate. San Francisco leaped at once into the lead on the first ballot, the result being, San Francisco, 40; Kansas Caty, 34; Detroit, 16; Philadelphia_2; Chi. cago, 4; Cleveland, 3, and San Antonio, 2. Total, 101; necessary ta & choice, 31. San Francisco Still Leads. On. the second ballot, San Francisco had 47 votes; Kansas City, 35; Detroit, 11; Cleveland, 3; Chicago, 3, and Phil- adelphia, 2.

Kealing, for many years a member of the Republican national committee from Indiana. As a mark of its regrets and respect for the memory of Mr. Kealing, a warm friend of many of the commit- tee members, the committee rose and stood in silence for a minute. Contest Is Resumed. Then the contest for a convention city was resumed, despite an effort to bring about a recess for 15 minutes, which was voted down. Mr. Kealing, though a proxy, had voted for Kansas City. On the fourth ballot his name was omitted. But the Republican national committee- woman for Indiana, Miss Dorothy Cunningham, who had supported San Francisco for three ballots, cast her vote for Kansas Cit: A suggestion was made in some quarters today that it might be ad- visable for the national committee to take cognizance of the President's expressed wish that he be not con- sidered in connection with the presi- dential nomination. But members of the committee took the view that no such action was necessary or fit- ting under the circumstances.

Mulvane. of Kansas, who sai 2 It is plain enough that the Presi- dent has taken himself out of.the race for the nomination.” Colladay Gives Opinion. Fdward ¥. Colladay, national com- mitteeman for the District of Colum- bia, said: “The President has made his posi- tion clear and I think his wishes should be respected.” Patrick Sullivan, national commit- teeman for Wyoming, said “I do not believe today #hat the President could be forced to accept the nomination.” Charles D. Hilles of New York said: “The President has made a definite declaration that he is not a candidate and is not to be considered. I have been of the opinion all along that was his_position.” h Dr. . B. Clements of Missouri said: “The President has made his posi- tion clear. Only in the event of ‘a deadlock in the convention.does his ) nomination appear possible. I do not ! think he has closed the door upon ac- | cepting the nomination in that event. ‘ Strength for Hoover Seen, some quarters to axt that the boow esident would gain impetus I might have the backing of the administration forces, with the with- drawal of Mr. Hugh - Vice Pret dent Dawes has been in opposition to administration on farm relief legislation, as has Mr. Lowden.

I feel that I ought to declare in this presence what 1 know, and what you must know, that too much credit for these results cannot be given to your chairman, William M. Rutler. In the delicate matter of assisting the wom- en to take part in their first full presidential campaign he had the very able assistance of Mrs. Alvin T. Hert. “One of my chief desires in greet- ing vou at the White House was the privilege of expressing to you in a somewhat formal the “apprec tion that I have for the work which is done by political committees. For many years I was a member of the city committee of Northampton. and at_one time its chairman. For vears T was in close contact with our State central committee and our national committeeman, so that T know something whereof T speak when T say that political committees as instruments of the science of self- government are held in altogether too little esteem. They assist the people to function. They disseminate information. They encourage the voter to go to the polls. They are the groundwork organization, without which popular government would almost fail of success. While we have faithful committee members, we have an additional assurance of worthy people in office through the action of an informed and vigorous public opinion. 1 should like to have v know, and trust that you can my opinion to the subdivisions within your States. how important in my estimation is the work which is done by political committees. Consistent “You have heen most considerate in the assistance you have rendered to me in the past, and 1 want you to know of my appreciation. You are all conscious of the great amount of labor that is at present necessary, and always will be necessary, to carry on the Government of the United. States. It cannot be efficient without popular support. There are always those who are willing to waste the resources of the people, usually with the best in- tentions. It is no easy matter to see to it that the people themselves re- main in possession of the largest pos- sible amount of their own earnings, free from the obligation to contribute them to an extravagant government. The temptation to spend the money is almost overwhelming. This is a grow- ing country. If it is to hold its place in civilization, it will be necessary to have intelligent management of gov- ernment finances. We have an enor- mous national debt, more than two- thirds of which still remains unpaid. There is no greater constructive ac- tion than to provide for its speedy retirement. Already it has cost the country over $8,000,000,000 in interest alone. This is about as much as we have ngid on the principal. Putting our finances in good condition, Assistance. National Government constantl. duce taxes while almost eve and local government Is searching for new scources of revenue and increas- ing its taxes and debt. This means new handicaps on agriculture and in- ‘dustry; new burdens on the people. “A’ careful supervision of our re. sources is placing us in a position to meet the coming requirements of a progressive people. We have many needs in the way of internal improve- ments to be made both by public ex- pense and private enterprise.. One of the most pressing is flood control in the lower Mississippi basin. We shall be called on for much waterway de- velopment, river and harbor improve: ments, and the construction of a s; tem of first-class highways. The agri- cultural regions will especially be benefited by a lower cost of transpor- tation which these improvements would afford. “Waterways and harbors, however, are useless without ships., Our Govern- ment operation of our merchant marine has been helpful in many ways, but it is far lacking of com- plete success. It would be much cheaper and far more heneficial (o get it into private hands under some s tem of Government support which would enable it to meet the lower costs of building and lower rates of wages of foreign shipping. We also have our Navy to maintain. Within a few vears replacement of capital ships must begin. We should consider at once a moderate building program for cruisers and submarines. Our avia- tion system will need more airplane carriers and our destroyer fleet will require additions of the leader type. Such a program will extend over a considerable period of years. It does not involve us in any competition with other, countries, but will simply provide us with a defensive navy. We are thoronghly committed to the policy of. limitation .of naval arma- ments and extremely hopeful that futiire’ conditions will bring it about. Unless 1 misread the convictions of my countrymen, we are likewise deter- mined to enter into no covenant that 4sSigns to the United States any sec- ondary place among the naval powers of the world.
