and they feel that the government is
the best guardian Of the funds OF the
project We do not feel justified in do
ing anything that will appear as oppos-
ing the government as the directors
think the government can take care
of our funds better than we can We
deplore the action Of the upper valley
people and are sorry and will do every
thing we can TO bring the~two together.
The government is doing what it is
for the people themselves and we feel
the government is best organized as
