Text of President's Power Message
i
By United Press WASHINGTON, June 3.—FollowYing is the text of President Roose- . velt’s power message to Congress: To the Congress of the United States:
Nature has given recurrent and
poignant warnings through dust.
storms, floods and droughts, that we must act while there is yet time if we would preserve for ourselves and our posterity the natural sources of a virile national life. Experience has taught us that the prudent husbandry of our national estate requires far-sighted management. Floods, droughts and dust storms are in a very real sense manifestations of nature's refusal to tolerate continued abmse of her hounties. Prudent management demands not merely works which will guard against these calamities, but carefully formulated” plans to prevent their occurrence. Such plans reguire co-ordination of many related activities. For instance, our recent. experiences of floods have made clear that the problem must be approached as one involving more than great works on main streams _at the places where major disasters threaten to occur. There also must be measures of prevention and control among tfributaries and throughout the entire headwaters ageas.
|: Urges Erosion Control
A comprehensive plan of flood control must embrace not only down-stream levees and floodways, and retarding dams and reservoirs on major tributaries, but also smaller dams and reservoirs on the lesser tributaries, and measures of applied conservation throughout an entire drainage area, such as restoration of forests and grasses .on inferior lands, and encouragement of farm practices which diminish runoff and prevent erosion on arable lands. : Taking care of our natural estate, together with the stopping of X existing waste and building it back to a higher productivity, is a - national problem. At last we have undertaken a national policy. But it is not wise to direct everything from - Washington. National planning should start-at the bottom or, in other words, the problems of townships, counties and states, should be co-ordinated through large geographical regions and co to the capital of the nation for final co-ordination. Thus the Congress would receive a complete picture in
which no local detail had been over- |
‘looked.
Co-operation Asked
It also is well to remember that improvements of odr national heritage frequently confer special benefits upon regions immediately affected, and a large measure of cooperation from state and local agencies in the undertaking and financing of important projects, may be asked for fairly. Any division of the Usifted States into regions for the husbandry of its resources must possess some degree of flexibility. The area most
suitable as a region for the carrying |.
out of an integrated program designed to prevent floods is the basin including the watersheds of a pivotal river. But other problems dependent upon other combinations of natural economic and social factors, may require a somewhat different area to permit the most effective functional program. For instance, the problem of the great plains area is a problem of deficient rainfall, relatively high winds, loose, friable soils, and unsuitable agricultural practices. The natural area for solution of the great plains drought problem is dif-
1 ferent from that for the solution of dyna amic water problems presented by the rivers which traverse that area. |

The rational area for administration 'of a great plains “rehabilitation program crosses the drainage areas on a number of parallel major tributaries of the Mississir:pi River, It should therefore os kept in mjd that in establishing a region for one type of comprehensive program, parts or all of the same area may be included in a. difierent region for another type of comprehensive program with the result of a Federal system, as it were, of programs and administrative areas for solution of basically different yet interrelated problems. Neither the exact scope nor the most, -appropriate administrative mechanism for regional husbandry can at the start be projected upon any single blue print. But it is important that we set up withou? delay some regional machinery to acquaint us with our problem.
I think, however, that for the time being we might give considera= tion to the creation of seven regional authorities or agencies; one on the Atlantic Seaboard; a second for the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley; a third for the drainage basin of the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers; a fourth embracing the drainage basins ‘of the Missouri River and the Red River of the north; a fifth embracing the drainage basins of the Colorado River and rivers flowing into the Pacific south of the California-Oregon
bia River basin,
undisturbed the Mississippi River Commission which is well equipped to handle the problems immediately attending the channel of that great river.
Would Control Uses
Apart from the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Columbia Valley Authority, and the Mississippi River Commission, the work of these regional bodies, at least in their early years, would consist chiefly in developing integrated plans to conserve and use of ' waters, waterpower, forests and other resources of the areas entrusted to, their charge.
{ provide a useful mechanism through
which consultation among the vari- |
ous governmental agencies working in-the field could be effected for the development of integrated programs of related activities.

Friction to Be Avoided
Projects authorized to be undertaken by the Congress could then be carried out in whole or in part by those departments of the Government best equipped for the purpose, or if desirable in any particular case by one of the regional bodies. There should be a close co-ordination of the work done by the various agéncies of Government to prevent iriction, overlapping and unnecessary administrative expense and .to ensure the integrated developnient of related activities. There should be the closest cooperation also with the developing state and local agencies in this field, particularly the state, regional and local planning boards and the -commissions on interstate co-operation. which work through interstate compacts ratified by the Congress and through interstate administration arrangements. And provisions should be made for the effective administration of hydro-electric projects which have been or may be undértaken as a | part of a multiple purpose water-

needs of each one of the regions but of the relationship of each of the regions to the whole of the nation. If, for example, the Congress could have had before it at this session a complete picture of immediate and long-term needs, I think’ its task in providing for flood prevention would have been an easier one. : For nearly a year I have.studied this great. subject intensively and have ‘discussed it with many of the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives. My recommendations ix this message fall into the same ‘category as my former recommendation relating to the reorganization of the executive branch of the Government. I hope, therefore, that both of these important matters may have your attention at this session. ; FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, The White House, June 3, 1937.
