Coolidge flood plan mocked by critics in 1927 debate
A Chicago figure condemns President Coolidge’s flood control proposal as inadequate and national action is urged. Critics argue local and state actions alone cannot guard against floods on the Mississippi, stressing national defense and commerce risks if measures are delayed or incomplete. The discourse includes remarks by Digkingon and Dickinson on the plan’s reliance on partial local funding and limited control of expenditures.
