This policy is sound and public sentiment will, I believe, support it. Wa are now a new era In the history of reclamation. entering Its present condition, its difficulties, necessities, and Its promises have been opened up to congress and to the public with all ftank-nes- s. It lies within the of the congress to determine an equitable province and economically sound Policy which will remedy existing evils and make impossible a recurrence of conditions which have demoralized the Federal Reclamation Service, 378 men to grow of growth 1ms doubled the population of the world.

Would tills mean a crowded world so crowded that the struggle for existence Would bruit; about conditions which the present generation cannot eon Imugine? I'rohahly It would. Anjway, the statisticians now seem to believe that the rate of increase is doelining and breathe a greut sili of relief over the finding. American statisticians are busy over the future sif the nation in relation to population and food. Fo are the scientists. So is the federal pe eminent. So are various public-spiritecitizens. 'Jlie press devotes mm It space to It, as any lame newspaper dally makes proof. 1' of 711 jeurs before the Civil war the population (if the I nited States Increased 35 per cent each decade. At any rate 2000 A. I), would see n population of 2,000,000.000 people.' The rate of increase, however, lias fortunately deellned to la per cent during the 1010 1P20 decade. As it is now, we have ahout 11.7, 000, IKK) people. At the mine time we Import almost as much food ns we export. And our standard of living is the high, est In the world. Questions intriguing the scientists, agricultural experts and statisticians Include these: How large a population can we actually maintain upon our own land resources?, llow large should our population become? If we crowded to the extreme limit, will life ba worth living? Experts of the United States Department of Agriculture have recently announced that agricultural production in continental United States could be developed so ns to maintain about iieople but under conditions ahout like these: Standards of consumption prevailing in prewar Germuny; reclamation of land to the Timit through drainage and reclamation; decrease in number of certain food animals and increased use of pasture for crops; reduction of exports of foodstuffs ; increased yield to the acre by intensive cultivation to approximately that in flermntiy, Itelgiuin'lind France. , These conditions are made to apply to a population of .mooo.000. How far would they apply to a population of 200,000.000? No one apparently can say. hut see how these conditions would work in comparison with our present ways of . In America, points out Robert E. Chaddock, professor of statistics in Columbia university ami president of the American Statistical society, less than half of our ialnl area cun be used for crops, because of climatic and topographic conditions. And on this lie adds that t he best grades of arable land are already In use. Additional areas can lie utilized only at greatly increased prices. We have readied a singe in our ngrleul- tural development of .rapidly increasing costs. 1 his is In great contrast to the era of "free land ami rapidly expanding extensive agriculture. Many tilings nre technically possible which are economically impossible on account of prohibitive costs. The experts, who estimated that we could maintain 300,000,000 under specified conditions admitted that tills would involve a severe rt duet ion in general standard of living because of the heavy costs of utilization." "Without question," says Ur. llutiert Work, secretary of the interior, "we will need, years lienee, all the water that can he stored and all the irrigable, productive land In the West to feed our people. And here are other points that the secretary has to say in ids annual report for' 1025 all having a direct bearing on our future: The Bureau of Reclamation was the only one of the 12 bureaus In the Department of the Interior which seemed hopeless two years airo. An expenditure of approximately $200,000,000 for reclamation projects had been made by the Federal aovei mm ut during the previous 20 years, requiring; an additional $00,000,000 to complete them. The reclamation fund, oHginally Intended to revolve or be funded In 10 years, had not revolved In 20 years. Although the fund was supplemented by a lump appropriation of $20,000,000 In 190S, repayment to thj government was .only 914 per cent g 20 jeurs. A committee reported after.'dams and canals had boen constructed on "tjmt some projects for the Irrigation of lands having. Inadequate water supply and were either not capa- ble of development or had soil Inherently too poor The committee estimated to support a family. that on tills account the government confronted a definite loss of $lS,5lil,146 and a probable additional loss of JS.hJO.OOO of Its capital Investment. Whether the loss to the government Is $2,nuO,U(iO or double thst, Is not of material concern when' balanced against the continuance of a mistaken fact-findin- policy.

No less titan 55 measures have been introduced In congress providing for various phases of its development. It 1ms been under consideration by practically every congress for the last si.: decades.

The proposed Houlder dam will lie the largest engineering structure of its kind ever development attempted, the being planned to raise the water surface 005 feet. The reservoir formed will he 120 miles long. The totni cost Is estimated at $200,000,000. Another phase of the development is the compact that has been formulated between the states of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Now Mexico, and California, Intended to regulate, control, and protect the rights of the several states, Winding Arizona, to the distribution and use of the waters of t he Colorado river and its tributaries for domestic and agricultural purposes. This pact lias not yet been approved by Arizona, although the legislatures of the other states have ratified It.. The foregoing of course merely scratches the surface of the subject.
