Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of New
York, said the only way to reduce
electric rates is by Threatening pub
lie ownership. Three prominent pri-
vate utility men promptly "took
walk" and John c. Dalton, man
ager of the County of London Elec.
trio Supply, criticized Davidson
talk as "tirade."
The discussion started in connec-
ton with paper by John E. Zim-
norman, president of the United
Gas Improvement company, who
held that power "yardsticks" such
as the iva and Boulder Dam can
not be compared with private utili-
ties unless operating conditions are
similar. Such yardsticks, he said,
will lead to competitive methods
already proved "wasteful and un-
satisfactory"
In papers taking the opposite
view, Prof. William E. Mosher of
Syracuse university, and James C..
Bonright of the New York State
Power Authority, held that public
competition with private companies
is "indisputable evidence" of de-
Ginning faith in regulation.

from a visit to Russia. Said he:
After years of derision of the
principles of the Socialist move
ment, after abuse of unions as the
pillars of capitalism, we now have
the curiously incongruous spectacle
OF Communist organizations want

a part of the movement they have
sc derided

credulous as really to believe that
there is sincere conversion to the
principles of organized labor. How
ever. for myself and the national
council of labor say without hest
tation that the single, simple ex-
PLANTATION of the tactics of the Com
munist movement today is the OBJ
vious, abject failur. that has &C.
companied attempts to capture the
Socialist movement for Communist

admirable object lesson to the rest

Los Angeles could be relied upon
to hurry in with two hundred, Seat

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITsCHERT

One of the noteworthy develop
ments of the political situation during
the past few months, from a Republi-
can standpoint at least, has been the
growth of Republican National Chair
man Henry P. Fletcher, in acquain-
lance and popularity in G. O.. P.
circles. Before his election as chair
man Mr.. Fletcher, of course, had a
national reputation. But it was as a
diplomat rather than a politician, al
though he had long been known as a
staunch Republican. Mr.. Fletcher
took the Craftsmanship when it was
rather a thankless job. The chances
of defeating the Democrats in a nat
ional way seemed decidedly slim.
There was little if any money in the
treasury. There was dearth indeed
not only of money to carry on cam
paign, had such campaign at that
time been called for, but there is said
to have been actually scarcity of
cash to pay the current expenses of
the G. o. P. elephant.
