lands, where the water runs off
immediately into the sea. The
mainland part of the colony has
no rivers that can be dammed
to hold the water that falls in
the rainy season.
The inhabitants arc like the
Ancient Mariner in his "painted
ship upon a painted ocean"
where there was "water, water
everywhere, nor any drop to
drink."
What to do about it?
One thing they do about it is
to IMPORT water from Commu
nist China. They import it in
tank ships as oil is imported in
other parts of the world.
At the present time, they are
using ten tankers in this serv
ice, at a cost of $700,000 a
month. These tankers have been
working at tlie job ever since
the end of last June, and in this
way they have added about a
billion gallons to their supply.
We think we have our prob
lems in Oregon including what
to do with the Boardman area.
But water enough to drink, to
wash our clothes w ith and take
a bath in isn't one of them.
Our big problem is to get as
much money as we think we
need to keep us happy . . Maybe
we could solve that one by sell
ing our surplus water to thirsty
Southern California.
