Secretary
---
Washington, Feb. 24.—Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hower recommended a compromise flood control plan before the senate commission committee.
He suggested that a federal commission be appointed to work out in the streets of Mississippi valley disbanded the stricken Mississippi valley district and the federal government control works
Floods Cause Distress
He said that in the meantime congress could go ahead and appropriate money for the work and that concessionary services and safety devices could be started.
At the outset he had declined to discuss engineering facts of the variability of climate, and was painted for the committee a distressing picture of the human want caused by the blood with its consequent economic reaction on the whole.
The compromise plan was regarded as a sort of check mate to political opponents who had foreseen that the secretary has Republican presidential possibilities and might trip on state contributions for food control.
Plan Answers Hawes
Hoever's compromise plan was offered in answer to a question of Senator Hawes, Democrat, Missouri, as whether or not he favored the Jadot-Washington 20 per cent of control cost. Hawes told Hoever the states already had paid out more than $100,000,000 and suggested it was unreasonable to expect much more.
Hawes first asked whether or not hover favored the Jadwin (Coolidge) also
"I don't think this committee will expect me to reconstruct matters submitted by another department of the government." Howard answered.
Safety Devices Necessary
Senator Fletcher, Democrat, Florida, asked if Hoover thought alone alarms be installed in the room answered that he thought safety devices were necessary to fight against floods.
"The president has recommended that such contribution should be made to the war effort, he stated, "At the same time he has stated that it should be organized in such manner as to bring no hostility on the people of the world."
"I believe this principle of long standing should be adhered to as a rule for all businesses and the economy in federal expenditures by the efficient check of local authorities' spending."
"All of us realize the enormous loss and suffering of the recent flood and the different times by communities who have suffered greatly. The secretary of war has suggested that we should be delivered for a term of years until recuperation and the growth of wealth which will inevitably come with security and protection."

Blanshard Sees Hope of China in Nationalists
Y. M. C. A. Forum Speaker
Says Movement Began
Against Foreign
Imperialism
Although the official opening of the Midwest Student Conference will be the debate tonight between Paul Blanhard and Judge William L. Huggins, Mr. Blanhard has today presented several addresses to student bodies.
At 11:30 he spoke to students of economics, sociology, and editorial on the subject of "The Difficulty of the Labor Organizer."
At the Y, M, C. A, noon forum today, he addressed the audience on the subject, "Can Western Imperialism Win?"
"I expect you will think I am going to say no to this question," he said in the opening of his address, but the answer is no if there are sufficient persons who believe in the impartiality and faith against it in China.
Discusses China
An informational and interpretive discussion on the present movements in China was given. The Chinese Revolution is a symbol of the rising tide of opposition to western imperialism in China, whilst hastening the invasion of foreign powers.
In showing the extent of foreign control of China the speakers told of how their lives were affected by Shanghai. It is composed of six Xiangshiben, two Americans, and one Japanese.
An annual phase of the discussion was that concerning the missionary movement in the Orient, where the West has lost one-third of its influence in China because of the failure of Western nations to apply the principle of brotherhood to them.
There is much being said now according to Mr. Blankenship, concerning the Japanese invasion of Japan, massacre trees and China and Japan. "This is a remote thing," he believes and this belief is based on the knowledge that China and Japan distinctly differ.
Missionaries Better Trained
"Missionaries now are beginning to have the modern point of view. They know something about sociology, education and economics, but nothing except about their own little creed which was lone up in a bundle and whenever something came up which was just outside the line of that creed, they knew it."
Mr. Blairham thinks that the great Nationalist movement has enough of the idealism and justice in it, that China will be conquered.
"The relation of the United States to such a cause should be one of sympathy, understanding, and standing and our government must take a non-imperial attitude."
"We must break away from this national honor myth for the dollar's sake. That is the only answer to timeless issues," she said, going on to protect the dollars."
Tonight at 8 p.m. in the auditorium of central Administration building, the students will present Economic Order," will be debated by Judge Hughiams and an audience.
Tomorrow's tentative program includes the following: 9 a. m. Open discussion on the relation of the student to the economic order. 10 a. m. Production industry, 125 p. m. Student experience in industry, 3 p. m. Social problems of the economic system, 4:30 p. m.

Kansas Wins Debate With South Dakota on U. S. Latin Policy
South Dakota uphold the negative side of the question by pointing out that the policy of intervention in the United States resulted in stable governments for those countries, and under these stable governments the benefits of the United States to the debts of the Latin-American countries had decreased, and the capital of all nations having any interests in the Latin-American countries was reduced.
Lardner and Anderson Uphole Affirmative Condemning Intervention
The University of Kansas defeated the University of South Dakota last night in the second Missouri Valley debate of the season. Kansas uphold the affirmative side of the question: "Resolved, that the policy of the United States toward the Latin American countries should be condemned."
Rice Larder, c²*, paired with Fredrick Anderson, Jr., uncle⁶, who made his first appearance for Kansas last night; made up the Kansas team, which was a major part of Biekset's platform for South Dakota. The judges of the debate were: G. S. Fulbright, coach of the Washburn debaters; Henry Shinn, professor of public law; Kano Kanai, professor of moral and cultural College; and Forsh E. Rose of Park College.
The affirmative side hold that the policy of the United States in intervening in the Latin-American countries has had a negative impact.
