CLIFFORD P|NCHOT MAKES PLEA
FOR USE OF POWER RESOURCES

In view of the government
propaganda for conservation of
the fuel supply and the devel-
opment of the country's re-
sources to the end all war needs
may be met, the following let
ter from Clifford Pinchot, not
ed conservation leader, is op-

Milford. Pike CO., Pa, Nov. 19.
Editor East Oregonian.
The great war in which our nation
is engaged viii he won not alone by
food and men, but by mechanical
power as well. Without mechanical
power we could not make or move
the weapons with which we fight
guns, munitions, ships and supplies.
our national resources of power,
whether from coal, oil or waterpower
are national war necessities. We need
them to win the war
In this gigantic struggle our secur-
ity requires us to use all these great
resources. and to use them wisely and
well. The people of the United States
own some fifty million undevelOped
water horsepower, or about enough to
run every train, trclly, factory, mill,
mine and electric power plant we
have.

from Clifford Pinchot, publish
ed by the East Oregonian to-
day. AS Mr.. Pinchot says the
power interests having vast
power sources which they re
fuse to develop are crying for
the government to give them
more. Their record is not one
to inspire public confidence in
their present requests and they
do not have the public conf
dence.
The cold facts are that pri-
vate development of power re-
sources without effective gov
ernmental control is funda-
mentally wrong. Such a policy
calls for a minimum power de-
velopment and the sale of cleo
tricity at a maximum price.
The only sound policy for the
nation is one that will call for
the greatest possible develop
ment of power and the sale of
electricity at the lowest pos
sible terms. 1t may be quickly
seen that no such results may
be obtained under private de-
velopment. Governmental ac-
tion in some form is absolutely
essential if the people are to
get the real benefits from re-
sources which they themselves
own.
The war is impressing upon
all nations the stern truth that
goth century results cannot be
obtained through use of 18th
century methods. Those who
argue against a governmental
hand on power development
and in favor of the grab-and-
hold policy shut their eyes to
facts that are as plain as the
sun in the heaven. The nation
cannot follow their counsel
and hope to hold its own in the
big world game it is now play
ing. They stand for bow and
arrow methods when national
safety calls for howitzers in
the form of development by the
or under such gov I
control as will insure /
development on a basis of JUS
tice to the public.

CUT THE CANDY

~ HE sugar used for making
W. candy in the United
States, according to the
best information that could be
obtained by the United States
Food Administration, is suffi-
cient to meet all the sugar re-
quirements of England under

there. "h @i' #'h y N

If one-half the sugar used in
the making of candy in this
country IN 1917 could have
been saved it would have been
sufficient to meet the sugar re-
quirements of Italy for year

sugar standard.
The money spent for candy
in the United States in the past
year is nearly double the
needed to keep Belgium

OF the total sugar consump-
ton of the United States, ac-
cording to the best estimates

goes into the manufacture of

ment of public waterpowers in the
public interest. But DEVELOPMENT has
been held backNby a little group of
waterpower magnates and their
friends in congress who have blocked
all legislation which would not give
them these valuable properties for

To-day, when the nation needs all its

to be briefly as follows:

power is to develop it. Whatever re-
tards or restricts the development of
public waterpoWers on terms fair to
the public is against public policy and
hostile to the general welfare.
CD Waterpower belongs to the
people. The sites where it is pro6uc-
ed should always be held in public
hands, for only so can effective con-

not desired, the right to use water

but never longer than fifty years. At
the end of each lease all rights should
