California May
Face a Serious
Water Shortage
SAN FRANCISCO, May '6 WV-The
unusual shortage of snow In Califor
nia mountain ranges this spring has
resulted in the state facing an actual
water crisis.
tn i steiemortt issued Monday,
Major Edward H. Bowie, chief of the
federal weather bureau here, said
that unless unusually heavy tains
fall Within the next few weeks, the
state would face a serious water
shortage.
He quoted figures to show that

fornia is from one-half to two-thirds
of normal this year.'
San Francisco with a normal rain
fall at this time of 21.14 inchos has
received but 12.12 inches, he said. In
1930, a comparatively dry year, the
total on May 4 was more than six
teen inches.
Sacramento has a 7.44 total against
a normal mark of 17.15 Inches; Fres
no '6.75 against '8.06 normal and Los
Angeles -11.87 against normal.

solution to ttio .presont ooonomlo dis
tress would oe louna in inamuuiu
Initiative; and 'not by "surrendering
tho management ql business nnd In
dustry to the governmont or to any
board or group of iron."
Brenkrne a two-year sllonce during
which ho has not -discussed publicly
the world wide depression, the vet
eran treasury secretary emphasized
that purchasing, -power was an an
lmportant laotor and that power "In
sofar its 'America la concorncd. Is de
pendent to 'a Kreat extent upon the
standard of, living which obtains In
tins country.
Mr. Mellon addressod a luncheon
given foreign bankers attending the
International Chamber of Commerce
hy tho American Bankors' association.
Ho told them that each nation must
be allowed to work out In Its own
way Its solution to the economic
problem.
Tho troubles which all of us face
at this time cannot be oUrod by any
quick and easy method, or at some
ono else s expense, una 11, la wuu vu
(aoe the tact," he said.
"The world 1b passing through one
of the most extensive depressions It
has over known. In praoticolly all
countries we have had falling prices,
unemployment, dcoreased consump
tion, difficult problems of govern
ment finanoo, and, In some coun
tries, political Tcvolutlons.
"One must not underestimate the
seriousness of the -present, situation.
And yet, wo -must not lose -our sense
of perspective, for we "know what the
orescnt crlBls is not unprecedented
but that on the contrary the world
'.s. ffoluR throutth dne -of those tran
sition stages whioh come from time
-to time and -entou arasuc ana iar
reaohlng economic readjustments'
Mr. Mellon said that solutions
which sometimes appear Ideal oannot
always be put Into effect for various
reasons.
"One is that In each country gov
ernments must deal, primarily -witn
the facta of their own case and are
free to act only within the bounds
Imposed by national traditions, eco
nomic organization, and tho limited
understanding that exists in every
sountry of other people's' prbblemB,
ind of the oxtont to which all of us
ire affected by. conditions outside of
our own borders."
The presont orlsls, . the secretary
continued, is tho more -severe than
most booause It followed a world
war. ' But lie said that In this coun
try thore had beon an effort on tho
Hart of the government and -private
business not only to prevent reduc
tion in wages but to keop the -maxi
mum number of men employed.
"Every man that can Tie kept at
work or put Tjock into employment
-dds to the nation's traying power
vnd so stimulates -further produc
tion," tho secrotary said. "Progress
can bo achlovod only by -a groat
movement made up of a vnnt number
it Individual efforts and not by any
ilnglo action 'thut governments or
groups can tako."
The secrLVarjl Baldj lie did Wot
share tho -bollof that there was any
thing fundamentally wrong with the
social system of industrialized coun
tries. Ho said that the dofoots In tho
prosent system in this country would
bo worked out so that thore would
bo tho "painful spectaclo of men will
ing to work but unable to find a
morkot-for the only commodity which
they can exohange for food and oloth-'
mf(."
'Trlcos munt bo revlsod and costs
df- production and output must bo
brought down to a point whero do-'
mand will again be stimulated and
goods moved into consumption," Mr
Mollon said, "tn 'short, a balanced'
rendition muBt bo restored; and this
must be done without -a gonoral fo-'
