SPEECH AT DAM
(Continued from Page One.)
Aid Smaller Communities.
. After predicting that very com
munity In the Columbia basin would
be wholly electrified In the not tar
distant future, he added:
. "it la because I am thinking of
the nation and the region AO years
froA now that I venture the fur
ther prophecy that as time passes
we will do everything In our power
to encourage the building up of the
mailer communities of the United
States.
'.'Today many people are beginning
to reallr-o that there la Inherent
weakneHA in cities which become too
large and inherent atreiiKth In a
wider geographical distribution ol
population. ,
"An over-large city Inevitably meets
problems caused by oversize. Real
estate valuea and rents become too
high; the time consumed In going
from one's home to one's work and
back again become excessive; con
gestion or streets and other trans
portation problems arise; truck gar
dens disappear been use the backyard
Is too small; the cost of living of
the' average family rises fsr too
high.".
The president said there was
"doubtless a reasonable balance In
all of this and It Is a balance which
ought to be given more and more
study."
Depend On Com muni tin.
No one would suggest, ho said,
that the great, cities of Portland,
Tacoma, Seattle and Spokane should
stop their growth, but he added It
wu ft fact that 'they could grow
unhealthily at the expeme of all the
smaller communities of which they
form logical centers."
Their healthiest growth depends
on a simultaneous healthy growth of
very smaller community within a
radius or hundreds of miles, he as
serted. Declaring better land use and
water conservation were matters of
'national concern." ho said If the
government had the knowledge many
years ago It has now and the willing
ness to act. It would have saved the
taxpayers in the last few yesrs "at
least two billion dollars."
He said this would have been done
by avoiding the planttng of vast
Tees that should have been kept in
grarlng. preventing overgrazing, check
ing soil erosion and denudation of
forests and controlling disastrous
fires.
