LITTLE USE MADE OF RIVERS
Great Waterways of United States
Seem to Visiting Europeans
to Be Neg'reeted.
A Chinaman who travels In the
United States Is certain to remnrk;
"What Erand rivers, but how lonely I"
By utilizing their rivers 400,000,000
Chinese linvc lnnnngcd to get along
without railroads, a feat Incompre
hensible In occidental countries. A
visitor from continental Europe would
say: "Your rivers of the Mississippi
valley are unequaled ns a sift of na
ture. But where is the commerce?
Where the permanently deepened
channels, united with correspondlncly
deep canals for heavy freight, like
those connecting the Ithlne, Danube,
lthone, Loire and others?" Our only
answer could he that we have as yet
fccarcely made n beginning with our
splendid Htrenms in the most pro
ductive valley on earth, says the St.
Louis Globo-Democrat. Yet with re
markable energy, promptness and
success we constructed the great canal
between the Pacific and Atlantic
oceans, paying the entire cost our
selves and opening It on equal terms
to all nations. One rcuson for the
backwardness with our majestic rivers
nnd tlicir many navigable tributaries
is 'hat wo have never taken up the
Mibject with duo seriousness nnd de
cisive purpose. Wc have been dis
mayed when told that the problem in
volved hundreds of millions In money.
But since 10M, Including the next
fiscal year, congress has appropriated
$47,000,003,000. 'Ilio word "Impos
sible" should not be reserved for use
against a profitable Investment like
Improved waterways.
Necessity knows no law. A vast
emergency presented Itself that de
manded the expenditure of the $47,
000,000,000 In five years. Ono of the
first problems In the national emer
gency was transportation, lite rail
roads, of course, were pushed so hard
that the government felt compelled to J
take them in hand. Adequate water
ways would 'have been of enormous
advantage, but tho big rivers heard, lit
tle sound eavo their own daBhlng.
"Wo can't nfford to Improve the
rivers," was tho old view. The ob
vious truth Is that we can't nfford not
to improve them.

and even tho office assignments of the
