Ex.Secretary of Agriculture
Denounces Dictation

BY the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, May 26.-DeclarinG
American institutions and American
liberties for the first time were in
need Of defense against q national
administration Arthur M. Hyde, Sec
retary of Agriculture in the Hoover
administration, last night invited al
Americans TO support the Republican
party principles in the defense OF
the rights, the opportunities and the
liberties Of free people"
Hyde spoke at a rally opening the
States primary and Fall election
campaign.
Hyde said Republicans dc
not believe that prosperity will re.
turn through the forced RECOMMENDATION
of industry or the planning of die
! tatorial alphabetical agencies.
Asks Equal Opportunity"
"a Republican is one who believe.
that the fundamental duty Of gov.
ernment Is to create and preserve
conditions OF peace, order and secur.
ity under which every citizen has an
equal opportunity. That doe,
not mean that government shall
penalize or handicap the winners, MOI
that government shall so regulate the
race that all competitors shall have
the same reward"
Touching on unemployed relief
Hyde said, "the name of relief shoulc
not be used as q cloak to promote
expensive, non n-productive projects
-" . to foster Indulgence or to reck'
lessly dissipate the resources OF theS.
people who are still able to care fol
themselves"
The administration of relief, he said
'is always q local problem"
The administrations "willful, need
less abrogat ton of the gold clause ir
public Obligations and its concomitan
abrogation in private contracts" tn,
former Secretary Of Agriculture said
was and Is an act OF moral and in
tellectual dishonesty, which Is alike
disastrous and unnecessary"
The Republican party, he said, be-
lieves in sound, stable, unmanaged
honest money" and "the experience
of centuries has demonstrated tha
gold is the most satisfactory basis fol
such q currency"
Liberty Periled.
"Is liberty safe" Hyde asked. when
the Government Is ceaselessly extend
ing its control into fields hitherto
reserved for States, cities and indi-
viduals? The inevitable mistakes OF
the Government in these fields will
be followed by new. more drastic and
more radical measures to cloak the
first mistake. Government
propaganda Is the logical camp fol-
lower of such program. The nex:
step is the choking Of free speech
free press, to suppress information
at the source"
The new deal" Hyde said. PRO
ceeds upon the assumption that the
people have no rights except such as
the Government comedies to them.
Republicans utterly deny and con-
denim this principle Of the new deal

guise of divine right OF kings held

BALDWIN BELITTLES
EUROPE WAR SCARE
Acting Prime Minister Says No
immediate Danger Despite
Difficulties

London, July 30.-R-S Stanley
Baldwin, acting prime minister Of
Great Britain, said in the house Of
commons Monday that there is no
immediate danger Of war in Europe
despite the difficulties and perplex-
tiles Of the present situation.
He made his statement in defend
ing Great Britains recently an
nounced plans to increase its air
force.
He opposed the Labor party's mo-
ton Of censure, declaring:
There is no cause at all for a
panic Of any kind. AS far as I can
see, there is no risk in the immediate
future Of peace being broken.
1T might we'll be that peace will
not be broken and there are q great
many people in Europe who will do
all they can to see to it that 1t is
not broken"
Declaring "the question OF imperial
defense and disarmament had oc-
cupied the minds Of the government
and the house Of commons itself for
many years." Baldwin continued:
In the Saar, IN Memel, and in
Danzig there have been disturbing
events. and the recent and most
tragic incidents in Germany itself,
and, last Of all, In Austria, which
showed there was q spirit abroad in
parts Of Europe which. II it could
not be curbed, might some day make
the task on which their thoughts cen
tered impossible Of achievement.
1T was In circumstances such as
these that We have seen In the mai
ority the nations who are working
on this question Of disarmament
whether actively at Geneva or with
sympathy. Is In the case Of the Unit
ed States. which = not Z member Of

creasing them.

place the huge tracts Of poor land
that are being bought up by the
government and retired from farming.
The presidents visit to Portland to
inspect the Bonneville project has a
peculiar significance because Of the
fact that 1t was here that he made
his campaign speech on electric power
and river development. Now he will
see with his own eyes the actual
building Of the projects he was plan
ring and visioning even before his
election.
NEXT: The Grand Coulee,
vast power and irrigation project
that aims to create q garden spot
where rich, thirsty soil now cries
for water.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1934-07-30

At least three more cams between
the Bonneville site and the Grand
Coulee are projected for some time
III the future, to make up a complete
system of river control and use like
that visioned for the Tennessee VAL
lee. Here, too, development of cheap
electric power is expected to bring
Industries to the valley, and to open
up a new era of farm life by bring
ing electricity to the country.
SOIL WILL COME TO LIFE
In the plains between the mountain
ranges are thousands Of acres Of rich
volcanic soil. but whic., are useless
.or farming because of lack Of water.

GUS and difficult. Now, by extensive
planning and public works, the chan
mel is fixed and deep, and the port
has ample docking facilities for the
great trade in grain and lumber that
takes chip here direct for Liverpool
and the ocean ports Of all the world.
Forty miles up the Columbia above
Portland, the foundations of the Bon
neville Dam are completed, and the
72-foot structure is beginning to rise.
Crags half mile high tower above
the construction camps on either side.
Upstream is the roar of Cascade
Rapids, soon to be stilled forever by
the rising waters behind the dam.
Back of the cliffs rises the majestic
ever-White cone of Mt Hood, 1900
feet tall.
LOCKS WILL SKIRT DAM
Ships will sail over, the submerged
rapids, and pass the new dam by
means Of locks. Even the salmon
which work their way up the river
each year by leaping up the falls
and rapids will be provided fish
ladder" by which they can pass the
dam. Two railroads and two high
ways must be moved from territory
that will be under water.
The 100000 just allotted by
Public Works Administrator Ickes to
the job should bring it close to COM
pletion. Work started last year with
an original allotment of $20,O00,0o0.
The dam itself and six units of the
powerhouse are being built with PWA
funds, but other power units may be
added later If needed. Fifteen hun
bred men are now at work on the pre-
liminary work at Bonneville.
VAST LAKE TO BE FORMED
When the dam rises to its full
height of y feet it will create a huge
lake behind it and make slack water
as far up the river as The Dalles and
Cello Falls, so miles upstream. When
the power units are all installed they
should produce $4,000 kilowatt hours
of electricity, or 100000 horsepower.
The plans for the Bonneville Dam
project were drawn by army en-
gines, who have been studying for
years the latent possibilities of the
Columbia River. Navigation as far up
as the Snake river will be assured by
the Bonneville Dam, and locks to per-
NIT river and perhaps even ocean
steamers to pass are being provided. |

Portland, Ore, July 30.-When
President Roosevelt lands here on his
way back to Washington he will en-
ter the gateway of a new domain to
be created by the governments plans
to put the Columbia river to work.
The two huge dams being built to
harness the Columbia at Bonneville
and the Grand Coulee are we'll under
way. But they are only a part of the
general plan to develop the entire
Columbia river basin with series Of
other dams, navigation and irriga-
ton projects that will virtually create
a new empire on a par with those ris-
ing in the Tennessee and Colorado
valleys.
Since the coming of the white man,
the Columbia has been known and
used as mighty avenue leading from
the sea far into the interior Of the
northwest. But 1t has never been
put to work, either for navigation,
power, or irrigation, to realize any
thing like its possibilities.
PIERCES MOUNTAIN CHAINS
The Columbia rises in the high
mountains Of British Columbia. and
then, turning southwark, enters the
United States to drain most of Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho, and through
tributaries, western Montana. Turn
ing westward 1t cuts through both the
Sierra Nevada and Coast ranges, and
winds through the vast plain be-
tween those mountain chains.
In cutting through the mountains,
the great river develops steep rapids
which have always been one of the
great potential sources Of electric
power in the country. Now it is to be
developed, navigation extended as
far up as the Snake river, and
promise of irrigation brought to near
ly 100000 acres Of now arid and un-
productive land.
When the cruiser Houston has
wound its way up 100 miles of the
lower Columbia, the Presidential party
will sight Portland, largest fresh-wa-
ter harbor on the west coast. nesting
below Mount Hood on the Willamette
river where it enters the Columbia.
And the president will realize that the
making OF that river channel and
the building of this fresh water port
Is triumph Of planning and deter
mination such as he now hopes to re-
peat and extend farther up the river
by the new dams.
WORK UNDER WAY ON DAM
