THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1327 PAGE THREE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Speakers Discuss Flood Prevention at Annual Meeting River Control Authoritie Address Convention of Associated Engineers Well known men who are considered authorities in river control and drainage work were the speakers today at the annual professional meeting of the associated engineering societies and organizations of the River Control and Flood Prevention. "Various Methods of Flood Prevention" was the subject of the address by Daniel W. Moul, professor of hydrology at the University of Wisconsin. Reservoirs Most Exensive Dikes, levies, reservoirs, and valley storage are the most common and prudent water management for Professor Meld. Dikes are used to supplement the levees while the valleys storage plan is often used as a last resort. The reservoir system is the most efficient of the means. Professor Mend laid much of the blame for unsuccessful attempts at flood prevention at the door of the office. The reason, the least expensive, will often demand the least effective, he said. Newspapers were also blamed by the authority for misinterpretation given to a project. Major Gee Is Speaker Maj. C, J.C. Gee, engineer in charge of flood prevention for the Missouri river and its tributaries, addressed the convention upon the seriousness of the question of flood prevention and control. He spoke of the sediment load and total volume of the methods which are important in preventing floods. "The practicality of the reservoir system is very small," said Major Gee. "To prevent a flood you must canopied it, and it is done only by increasing the capacity of the channel, by strengthening the stream, and by increasing the current. This, however, practically prevents hope of any upstream navigation." Major Gee explained several of the problems that have confronted him in his work on the Missouri river. "Expertis Should Do Work" In discussing the situation, Arthur E. Morgan, president of Antioch College, told the Morgan Engineering company, an age project should be undertaken unless the benefits clearly exceed the cost. Only experienced men should work out the necessary provisions for this work from the legislative encyclopedia and financial standards, he said. Clark E. Jacoby, consulting civil engineer of Kansas City, Ms. Led at discussion this afternoon. Jacoby has investigated 'many of the rivers of Kansas and has served as engineer on various drainage projects.

Feb. 22 W. W. Davis, professor of history, who was in charge of the first group meeting, said that the chief causes of disturbances and revolutions in the Latin American countries were due to three things First, the agrarian crisis in Latin America; second, large tracts of land into a few hands. Second, the relationship of church and state, third the constant conflict between centralized and decentralized political philosophy. He stated "That economic imperialism does not have nearly so much to do with revolutions as to popularly supposed." The discussion of the first meeting centered around the Latin American countries bordering or the Pacific. The second group meeting will be hold next Tuesday, March 1, in room 296 Fraser Hall. The discussion will be on China, which, according to Shita, probably presents the most difficult and complex international problem. Professor Davis who is in charge of the meeting gave the following list of books to be read by those who wished to read something about China before the meeting; "China Today and Today," by William; "Contemporary Policies in the Far East," by Richard Bowers; "History of China," by Gowen and Halt. These books are on reserve at Watson library. The third group meeting will be held on March 8 at when the discussion will be on Japan and the Philippines' their place in international affairs. The meetings are open to any one who cares to come, said Shultz this morning. We can help you finance that fraternity loan. Prof. C, G.
