Don't Be Too Sure

The bitter critics of the New Deal are chuckling over the recent statement of prominent engineer connected with the Passamaquaddy Bay project that it would never be entirely successful, because af- ter properly developed there'd be no mar ket for the tremendous amount of electricity generated. All of which may be true relatively speaking, but when you get right down to cases, does this man know whereof he speaks. What proof has he that the future holds nothing for this gigantic power plant?
 As a matter of fact the money that Uncle Sam is putting into the harness ing of the high tides that sweep in and out of this famous bay at the north easternmost tip of the United States, will undoubtedly be repaid thousandfold. It may not be in dollar dividends, but it will be in other fashions. Right now it is pay ing dividends in restoring to cOmmer- cial footing, several Maine communities that were fast becoming mere dots on the map.
 Much material is being sent up to help construct the immense dams that will divert the tides and allow them to sweep back and forth only at the command of man and not nature. Skilled and trained men have been put to work on project that calls for intensive concentration and considerable application, something that has long been denied great army of men, qualified for just such jobs as this is All this has been extremely helpful. And when electrical energy is at last created by harnessing the tides, we know it's go- ing to be marketed some way or another.

The September session of the Republican National Executive committee in Washington avoided any reference to the Agricultural Adjustment Act in its sweeping in- dictment of the Roosevelt admins tration. And Ex-President Hoover, in his first political speech" at Oakland, Cal, as studiously ex- cluded entirely the AAA from his long list of sins of commission charged up against his successor in the White House. Hence the hier- archy of the g.o.p. disregards con- spicuously the 58 to 0 decision ren- dered against the emergency agri- cultural program on both consti- tutional and traditional" grounds by the Liberty Leagues corporate supreme court.
 But MT. Hoover and the Repub- lican National Executive commit tee, and likewise the divers grass root gatherings, were all admittedly sidestepping AAA on purely polit- ical grounds and it has never been political proposition. It has not been administered by partisans and there is nothing about it that sug- gests partisanship. On the con- trary, it is purely economic in both conception and execution and was devised to correct--and certainly 1t is correcting-the previous govern mental interference with tariffs and foreign trade under the Harding, Coolidge and Hoover administra- tions that were political and that not only ruined agriculture but un- dermined the nations general in- dustrial and financial system.
 For seven and 8 half years MT. Hoover served as secretary of com- merce and the public assumes that his experience ; renders him more qualified for discussion of present problems from an economic stand point. But had he done so, avoid- ance of any mention of AAA would have been impossible.
 The AAA was only one of the component parts of the general pol icy of the Roosevelt administration aimed at restoration of the old competitive machine; of producing a balance between prices and costs between income and interest charg- es; between the cost of living and the buying power of consumers. All of this was to make business ac-

Everybody knows all about til American Indian. He lived in tepee, took scalps, wore trailin| feather head-dresses, worshippel Gitche Manitou, the mighty, am was a tall, lean, hawk-nosed indi vidual who talked little, neye laughed, and endured pain withou a whimper.
 That's the sort of knowledge VI all have about the original Amerf cans-and most of it is wrong.
 "Our Indians," by A. Hyatt Vel Till, is very interesting bod which undertakes to correct sonl of our misconceptions. MT. Verri reveals:
 That many Indians, includir some of the most famous tribei never built tepees at all, but Ive| in solid, permanent, frame house
 That a majority of the tribes dA not take scalps-until they got tf idea from the white men.

 That the habit of torturing pria oners was far from universal, wit| many tribes-including most of tfI plains Indians -eschewing it er tirely.
 MT. verrill, in short, shows tha there was rather more diversiq among American peoples in India days than there is now. ' He ha written an excellent book, and Indian lore interests you at al you'll enjoy it deeply.
