with our own eyes electricity and
power made so cheap that they will
become a standard article OF use, not
only for agriculture and manufac-
turing, but also for every home within
reach of an electric light line"
From the three other speakers at
yesterday afternoons session came the
common plea for a social develop
ment commensurate with the techni-
cal in order that the great resources
Of world power already made avail
able might be used most efficiently
and most humanely.
Lewis Mumford, author and sociolo-
gist. presented the appeal as choice
between "a comprehensive collec-
tive effort to transmute power into
culture-or a giving way before those
forces that would pervert human
values, debase life and finally, in q
paroxysm of brutal rage. destroy
themselves in the act of destroying
civilization.
"At the present time the degrad-
ing and unbuilding forces in modern
society seem. in more than one area,
to be uppermost. Only resolute en-
ergy. disciplined imagination and
common good will can save us. Will
We make the necessary sacrifices of
individual and group and national
egoism? Can We rouse ourselves to
the necessary efforts of cooperation
and construction? There are no two
answers; We dare not fail"
JoaS Dos Refs, Brazilian minister
Of communications and public works,
and DR.. Arthur surveyor. consulting
engineer of Montreal, other speakers
Of the day, voiced similar hopes and
appraisals of world conditions.
Controversy RACES.
Political controversy reached the
bitter pitch at one of three sessions
yesterday morning as debate revolved
around contrasting papers on the SUBJ
ject of rural electrification in America.
Bearing the brunt of the floor at
tack was a brief submitted by Hudson
w. Reed, executive assistant of the
United Gas improvement Co. At
tacking not only the execution of the
rural electrification problem by the
present administration, Reed also as
sailed the reasoning on which the
program is based.
THE history Of government op-
Grafton or sponsorship of such prof.
ects here and elsewhere, Reed said,
indicates that over and over again
the taxpayers have had to pay the
losses incurred. There is nothing in
the present plan to indicate that his
tory will not again repeat itself"
No punches were pulled by two
speakers of the morning, Richard J..
Beamish, counsel for the Public
Service Commission of Pennsvlvan,o
and Murray D. Lincoln, secretary Of
the Ohio Farm Bureau, as they at
tackled Reeds conclusions and even
his motives in presenting them.
