These powers are eager to reget for themselves the trade and sources of the greatest continent on earth, South America. Britain, whose export markets are declining, is also looking toward the western hemisphere. There is an excellent chance that Britain will come to the conclusion that it is to her to work with economic the dictatorships in expanding their influence, trade and possessions in the south.

The flow of streams does not correspond to the need for water, so we must store water to staomze the flow. Records of the flow of a stream over a long period of time are very useful In determining the proper form of storage of moisture. Director William Peterson of the college extension service: There are certain 'qualities of leadership' which everyone who hopes to be an effective leader must have. They include foresight, vision, thrift, the regard for and respect of his followers, willingness, honesty, broadmindedness, tact, patience, good naturedness, cleanliness in thought and action, and determination. Reed Jerman, deputy state engineer: Utah has almost as many large reservoirs for water storage as she needs. Our efforts now should be bent toward conserving water through the agencies of consolidation of collateral canals, construction of small reservoirs and diversion dams, better maintenance of existing canals, and a readjustment of water rights.

PLIOCENE MILLION OLD 2 TO 2-- But now the belief is spreading that England is really little interested in ideals, and is pursuing a policy of temporary advantage, in an effort to stave off a day of reckoning betwten democracy and fascism. A few commentators take the view that England is definitely done as a first-ratpower. Thus, Oswald Garrison Vil- lard, following a long summary of recent events and their preceding causes, says: "Where does this leave England? Why, reduced to a third-rat- e power in the world. Humbled ly Italy in Spain and the Mediteiar.noan. by Hitler in the Rhineland, in Danzig, is Austria all along the line." Wheth or or not this view is true, it is an inescapable conclusion that the fascists have made immense strides in this chaotic world and the democracies have slipped backward in influence and prestige.

Elmo Morgan, assistant state engineer: More care should be taken in the legal phases of the farmer's occupation. For example, many applications for the use of unappropriated water are invalidated each year because farmers overlook technical details. Wider training must given in these technical legal aspects. Dr.. Elmer G. Peterson, president of the college: Farm life is a wholesome way of life, because it is a natural mode of living. Professor Eldon M. Stork, instructor in engineering at the college: An effective system of water distribution and allotment must be developed since Utah has small farm units and irrigation streams must be shared by numerous users. 4-- H cials.
