FL00D POLICY SEEN NATIONAL DENAND ~ Reclamation Congress Told 1 .Time Is Ripe for Govern- [* ment to Deolare Itself, By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, February 22.—Trans- forming of flood waters from a destruc- tive foree into one of the greatest fac- tors for economic security of the coun- try was discussed yesterday before the National Drainage, Conservation and Reclamation Congress. The speaker, Leonard Tillotson, mem- | ber of the Texas House of Representa- tives and an expert on conservation end | reclamation, told the convention that | the time has arrived when the National Congress should declare a national | policy toward stream regulation through | Water conservation “as one of the most | constructive services the general gov- | ernment may perform in protecting and | ldv-ncmg the public welfare of the | Peopl | 'nllorsnn stated that while some States have provided constitutional au- thority for streAm unit control, increas- ing interdependence of the people of different States makes it necessary for the Federal Government to declare a national policy. Stream unit eontrol, Tillotson ex- piained, contemplates a unified system of stream regulation with its conserva- tion and regional use of excess waters. The Mississippi River by reason of fts extent, interstate character and en- gineering problems, must, he said, be recognized as the responsibility of the National Government in a problem of conservation, Many other streams, he #dded, should be controlled by States | use of their sectional or regional advantages.

Page, Telegraph and Tele phone Official, Gives Radio Talk on Communications. The history and growth of methods of communication from the earliest to the present times was given by Frank C. Page, vice president of the Interna- tional Télegraph & Telephone Company, in a radio talk last night during the Chamber of Commerce hour on Sta- tion WMAL. Installation of thé South American airméil route, he said, will cut down the time of conveying mail from New York to Buenos Aires from three weeks to about eight days, with resulting good; to business. Instead of lessening Lhe cable and genenl mail business, Mr. Page ex- pressed the -opinion that the airmail route would increase both, in view of the stimulation of business and contact between the Americas. Another illustration of the uvmu of cemmumcmon cited by the the opening of the radio hqnph on the S: 8. Majestic last week, which en- abled the vessel to keep in constant business communication with during it voyage across the Atlantie. Mr. Page said the deep-sea earthquake on November 18 last, which interrupted 12 of the 21 Atlantic cAbles, with & de- : lay of as much as two hours, emphasized the handicaps that delay means to in- ternational business. In some of these cases messages had to be relayed the other way entirely around the world. ——iees. Mrs. Caroline E. Bodine Dies. LEESBURG, Va., February 22 (Spe- cial) —Mrs. Caroline E.
