PAGE 8 May Need to Do It Ourselves There is a certain rigid view that only thru federal as- sistance can the Columbia basin be irrigated; that without governmental aid the project is too mighty for the North- West to tackle The Star does not subscribe to that doctrine, Nor does The Star concede that anything can be gained by insisting to our own people that the obstacles before federal aid can be obtained are smaller than they are. Not only must the whole West stand together if ANY of the Western reclamation projecta are to succeed thru ernment aid, but the West also must canvince the in- ustrial East that the nation needs this mew area of farm- Jand, and convince it against the opposition of the highly developed agricultural districts in the Middle West, , The Middle West farmers are opposed to additional farmland being developed. And they swing the balance of power in fully a dozen states. The South won't let us have federal irrigation here on © a@ large scale unless we also agree to federal drainage of | the Southern swamp belts. And while the East may be Willing to help the West, the East isn't so willing to help the South. It is an open question whether it isn’t actually easier to frrigate the Columbia basis by our own unaided efforts than it would be to overcome the strong opposition in con- | gress and the cabinet.

Get Wise to “Catalysts” “Catalyst” is the designation of chemistry for sub- stances which, in small quantities, change the nature of great quantities of another substance.
