the intricacies of the Salt Lake City water situation Neither so quickly presume to arrive at a sound conclusion with j can he such disregard for doubts and uncertainties which have harassed city "officials water engineers legal experts and members of the ! board of the metropolitan water district for months and years I Mayor Erwin told the members of the Salt Lake Real Es- tate board that Ihe federal government already had made $10000000 available for improving Utah lake and Provo river If he had checked the record closer he would have found a i lf millions of dollars between discrepancy of six and i this impression and the amount now available for this pur- -j pose City officials as well as members of the water district board understand that less than $3500000 has been appro-- J priated for this project Furthermore they know that a clause 1 In the government’s contract specifically disavows any lia- -j bility in the event that no more money is forthcoming That is but one of the concerns in the minds of those j wrestling with the problem with which the mayor spoke With such finality Legal doubts have been cast upon certain phases J ©f the Deer creek project The question of agreements neces-- S sary to the right to divert water from the Weber to Provo I watershed for the Deer creek project has been raised by the city’s own engineering department as a vital consideration to So it is that Mayor Er J the city’s participation in the project win speaks prematurely if not hurriedly when he implies that I immediate commitments would automatically assure Salt Lake The mayor seems j City of a' water supply for years to come i to make this statement on a theory that surrounding canyons still offer limitless water which may be had in exchange for waters from Utah lake or elsewhere We refer hifn to the t record for an enlightening study of the basic water supplies of Salt Lake City It will not only reveal to him the limits I of this source of supply but it will expose the failure of other j precipitate exchange agreements which already have cost the a considerable amount We are sure that when the mayor t city : Is more conversant with this one phase alone he will under- -i stand why the metropolitan water board is reluctant to rush in before it knows where it is going j A little further examination will quickly reveal to the may- -j or that tlie Deer creek project is not comparable to the Moon j lake the Hyrum or the Ogden river projects As a matter of j fact we believe the more Mayor Erwin goes into the water ! supply of Salt Lake City the more he will regret the haste I with which he disposed of the city’s most aggravated problem j His conclusion that “the Utah lake and Provo river project no matter how else it may be referred to is the source of Salt Lake City's future water supply and must be so recognized’’ might be' subject icTsome qualifications when he has delved deeper into the subject The significant part of Mayor Erwin’s talk is that he goes so much farther than his associates George D Keyser commissioner in charge of the water department in his most recent statement readily concedes that the Deer creek project will bear further investigation Four years of study fails to convince Mr Keysfer that the security of this project is as certain as Mayor Erwin finds it Members of the metropolitan water district board have been engaged in active study for many weeks They are men of integrity and intelligence and may be conceded to be seeking a safe solution of existing and future difficulty Hence existing concerns are not to be regarded as imaginary for they are born of situations conditions and conflicts which are real and vital There is no widespread discord on the Deer creek project If its potential possibilities Were guaranteed or assured there could be no doubt as to the decision of Salt Lake City or the metropolitan water district Salt Lake City wants water and the newly created district undoubtedly will act favorably wherever the supply is assured It cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the past The district was created largely for ( the purpose of securing the people against such a contingency Disappointing experiences in the past have placed a new demand on the district board for its members must produce The- board cannot do as the city has done in the past J pass the responsibility for failure onto a new and less informed j administration Mayor Erwin will appreciate that a consid- erable amount is involved in any projected water program I whether the immediate financing is federal or not Failure of any project could not be forgiven simply because the amount of the loss did not bear interest XI mediate and future water one-ha- r I ( re-su- its - Simonds Writes No More ) fKi f I?

Walter Llppmaijn liberalism not as a party program but as a method of government is alleged to have demonstrated its incompetence and to be yielding to autocracy in some one of its many Yet when the manifestations king died’ the British people had fought and won the greatest war of modern times They had met and had withstood the economic and social crisis which resulted from that war They had not only maintained their free institutions in spits of war and revolution but in all parts of their immense empire they had moved steadily forward toward substantially greater Dictator’s Progress Not Impressive As compared with the steady evolution of the British Empire toward a voluntary federation of autonomous nations the progress of dictatorship is not nearly so impressive as It is supposed to be Leaving aside Russia which has never known anything but autocratic government in only Italy and Germany among the great powers has there been a relapse into the kind of arbitrariness which preceded the rise of constitutional states For a brief moment the new despotisms cast a spell upon the imagination of mankind Today nothing is clearer than that the spell is broken that the dictators have become a problem and a challenge but that they are in no important degree an example or an aspiration The liberal tradition so solidly represented by the British peoples whether they be tories or socialists in specific matters of policy is still dominant throughout much the greater part of the civilized world Commands Most Powerful Peoples It stilt commands the allegiance of the most powerful peoples and there is no reason to doubt that it will yet be vindicated even in those countries where it is at this moment most violently repudiated Yet those twenty-fiv- e years have wrought a profound change in the position of the British Empire It is no longer today what it was in the nineteenth century the arbiter of the balance of power in Europe Asia and Africa Though it is still by all odds the strongest power in the Old World it is no longer able by its own strength alone to maintain a reasonably ordered peace in those three continents That is the fundamental reason why the British people who have so great an aptitude for government have turned Almost instinctively to the realization that they must enter into partnership with other nations and by collective action do in the future what they once did by their own imperial power For some strange reasoi) the fact that Britain is now defending her position through the league is regarded by many as some sort of reflection upon Britain and the league That is a curious view of human affairs Surely the truth of the matter is that if the British Empire comprising a quarter of the human race has learned that its security depends upon the general security that in defending its own Interests it must defend the general interest the principle of order in the world has found a mighty supporter As long as the league was a kind of charitable enterprise in which Britain might give though it had nothing to gain the league was bound to be pious but negligible hope But a league identified with the vital interests of the greatest power in the Old World is something that the most confirmed and cynic must respect If proof is needed one has only to remember the amazement and awe which was exhibited in Rome and in Berlin
