have been invited by your agricul-tural and civic organizations to addressyou on the development of our inlandwaterways.I am glad to do so for thesubject is one in which I am deeply in-terested and it is one in which the De-partment ofCommerce is enjoined in\"itsorganic act to assist and promote.I joinwith your advocacy of the jmprovementof these great rivers.I should like,how-ever,to emphasize that our problem isnot only one of a great and importantMissouri segment of these rivers,but itis an even greater question,indeed oneof supreme national importance and it isupon the more inclusive issue that Ishould like to address you today.  \nIf we were to make a survey of themany great problems of progress thatlie before us,the development of thewhole of our internal waterways wouldstand at the forefront.And we havereached an entirely new era in this de-velopment.  We need to take a re-inventory of these resources in the lightof new economic necessities,new facts,and the older forces that have beenslowly crystallizing over recent years.And from them we have need to adoptan entirely new and enlarged conceptionof these questions.  \nA survey of the forces with which wehave to deal today will assure us that ifwe guide our national policies rightlythis decade will mark a re-birth of ourinland waterways.  \nBut,their planning and constructionwill test our vision and our statesman-ship.For we must consider their de-velopment not alone in the light of theneeds of today but of those beyond ourtime and our generation.  \nThe new setting,the new departure,in which we find ourselves develops from  \nmany causes.Of these the most vitalare the competitive dificulties in whichour Middle West agriculture has beenAthrown by the shifting economic currents  \n7A  \nresulting from the war,and a greatmeasure of permanent relief can begiven to it through cheaper transporta-tion.  But there are involved in thisquestion also other great national prob-lems.There is high need of better distri-bution of our population in relief of theincreasing congestion of our seaboardstates.We must plan and providegreatly increased transportation facil-ities for the 40 millions of added popu-lation that we must serve within the nextquarter of a century.And if our con-ceptions be broad enough and big enoughwe shall find in our inland waterways ameasure of forward action to the solu-tion of all these problems.Such solu-tions are now made possible by the devel-opment in the art of engineering ourwaterway improvement and ","cbCaiiMpnxwE0BsW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiMpnxwE0BsW","pdf",658172,14,"English","# The Need of In-land Waterways for Agriculture and Industry\n## Purpose and national importance\n## A unified transportation system\n## Economic causes and expected benefits","[{\"question\":\"Who delivered the address, and when was it delivered?\",\"answer\":\"The address was delivered by Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, on October 19, 1925, before the Missouri River Improvement Conference in Kansas City, Missouri.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the speech emphasize inland waterways for agriculture and industry?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that inland waterways enable cheaper transportation of bulk commodities and support agricultural and industrial needs across a wide national hinterland.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the address say waterways should be planned and constructed?\",\"answer\":\"It calls for envisioning inland waterways as great unified transportation systems, planned and built as connected wholes rather than as disconnected local projects.\"}]","The Need of In-land Waterways for Agriculture and Industry - An Address By Herbert Hoover - Delivered before Missouri River Improvement Conference | PDF",1789962816,35]
