Commending the “wise and able lead- ership” of President Coolidge in secur- ing adoption of a definite program look- ing to improvement of the Nation's waterways, the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, at its concluding ses- sion yesterday, adopted a resolution in which it looks forward with confidence and assurance “to the speedy realiza- tion of our national waterway program under the far-seeing and progressive leadership of the President-elect, Her- bert Hoover.” Immediate passage of the rivers and harbors bill, now pending in Congress, additional merchant marine legislation and prompt Federal action in improv- ing and developing the Nation’s water- ways were also urged in resolutions adopted by the congress. Turning to flood control in the Mississippl Valley the congress expressed its approval of legislation enacted at the last session looking to solution of the flood control problem, and urged that all authorized waterways projects be completed with- out delay and within five years wher- ever possible. Wilson Re-elected President. Representative Riley J. Wilson of Louisiana was re-clected president, while S. A. Thompson of Washington was re-clected secretary-treasurer. Miss Mabel Goepfert of Washington was named _assistant secretary-treasurer. Frank P. Leetch of Washington was clected a vice president to represent the District of Columbia. In an address at the closing session of the congress, Maj. Gen. Edgar Jad- win, chief of Army Engineers, declared that further development of water- borne commerce is yet to be developed, and said the Army has made innumer- able surveys of value in making water- ways olans. “Transportation by the joint services of rail and water is the most valuable method,” he sald. “It would give shippers in all parts of the [ e | | SPUDEEY, 81 oppOUuDLy of using the cheapest and most convenient method New Yorle of transportation.” Gen. Jadwin was given an ovation as he left the plat- J. B. Jones & Co., Inc. Is Happy to These Stunning - Fur-Trimmed at 548 THE EVENING STAR, form. He is to be retired next year. Members of the board of governors were elected as follows: Skelly, Wilmington, Del Tally, Clarkdale, Ariz.; S. Mather, Cleveland; Otis Mouser, Phila- delphia, and W. H. Lindsey, Nashville. A vast wall of rate preferentials and increased shipping costs, thrown around the great empire of the Middle West by construction of the Panama Canal and passage of the Esch-Cummins bill, must be torn down by full utilization of the waterways of the Mississippi Valley and regulation of ocean rates to forbid discrimination in favor of sea ports against the ports of the inland water- ways, Senator Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota told the Congress yesterday. “The Government, by its own actlons, has built a wall around the Middle West,” Senator Shipstead said. “Con- structionof the Panama Canal and; passage of the transportation act, with its rate preferentials, has moved the Mississippi Valley far from the sea coast in shipping costs. I believe we have a right to ask that the Federal Govern- ment shall give us a hole in that wall | to get out to the sea. Full utilization of the Mississippi River for commerce carrying purposes would help to carry out that purpose.” Discrimination Is Fought. ‘The Minnesota Senator declared that in his judgment the Government itself must remove the discriminations that have been thrown around the Midwest by forbidding rate discrimination against Middle Western cities in favor of seacoast ports. Mr. Shipstead said that deepening of the channel and fur- nishing of barge equipment is not all that is needed, although a nine-foot channel from the head of navigation on the Upper Mississippi to the gulf is important. Navigation of the Mississipp! is not the only factor that must be considered, Senator Ransdell of Louisiana ¢old the Congress. 'The matter of flood control must go hand in hand with any project for commercial development of the great waterway., ~ Senator Ransdell char- acterized the flood control act of 1928 as the “greatest piece of legislation en- acted since the world began.” “Had Congress been as liberal with the Mississippi as it was with the Pan- ama Canal,” Iz aid, “there would have been no flood in 1927. Congress has been penny wise and pound foolish in this matter.” Another problem that presses for im- mediate solution, Senator Ransdell said, is that of securing the several millions of acres of land to be taken by the Government for floodways. .
