Basis of Democracy.
There is an issue involved OF pro-
found Importance for the American
people. 1t is, in the estimation Of this
column, the issue. We are. like all
the rest of the world, going through
a period of profound social readjust-
ment. And the question is not only
what reaojustments must be made,
but it is also: In what spirit and By
what method shall We approach a
solution of our problems? Are We to
seek solutions by fundamental demo-

sonability and knowledge, seeking
everywhere the greatest possible meas
ure of consent, or are We to engage
in naked contests of power with the
decisions determined by force and
maintained by coercion? The whole
philosophical basis Of democracy rests
upon a belief in human reason and
the possibility of obtaining collabora-
ton for specific ends between
divergent groups. If that basis is
abandoned democracy is lost.
The Presidents Portland speech,
one of the finest of his campaign,
indicated that he intended to ap-
proach the power question in the
spirit of liberalism and democracy,
concentrating upon the attainment OF
objective ends Those ends we're AS
surance Of good service and low rates
to the population" the estab-
lishment OF the undeniable right
of any community to set up its
own governmentally owned and
operated service: the conservation OF
private utility operation and invest
ment wherever fair rates are charged
and only reasonable profits made
when State-owned or Federal-owned
power sites are so developed. private
capital should be given the first
opportunity to transmit and distrib.
ute power on the basis Of the best
service and the lowest rates to give
reasonable profit only
Liberal Approach Made.
The calling Of the power conference
to discuss a pool; the appointment OF
a power policy committee to work out
q solution between private and public
interests, were all along the line Of q
liberal approach. The Power Policy
Committee contained representatives
of the interested parties-T. V. A. and
the private utilities in the field-Ickes

cation, two representatives from the
S. E. c. and some of the most en-
lightened industrialists and technical
advisers on finance of this country;
Russell Leffingwell, one of the few
men among bankers or bankers
advisers who have defended the major
parts of the Presidents financial pro-
gram: Alexander Sachs, who has
spent years studying the power ques-
ton and the combinations which
have been made elsewhere In the
world, and Louis Brandeis Wehle,
nephew Of the Supreme Court justice,

any group of men in the country were
capable Of working out a program
along the lines of the Portland speech
and bringing to it the prestige Of
knowledge, this group was.
1t was charged on October to work
out plans for realizing an administra-
ton program, outlined on broad lines,
and it was approaching a reasonable
compromise when it was wrecked by
the extremists Of the T. v. A. and the
Senate. The wreckage was accom-
panied by extremely misleading public
statements and the sort Of headlines
that Mr.. Roosevelt deplored when, in
another case, they were used by John
Lewis.
Dispute on Facts.
Senator Norris on January IA
stated that the utilities have not in
good faith lived up to their agreement
at the White House conference: that
at that conference there was an agree
ment to extend until February the
contract between the T. v. A. and the
Commonwealth & Southern Corp,
and that in violation of the terms
OF that extension and as soon as the
extension was made. the utilities got
out an injunction hamstringing the
T. v. A. in everything. Wendell
Wilikie was able to produce evidence
in the form of a correspondence with
the President that Senator Norris
statement was not in harmony with
the facts, and in this he was publicly
supported by Wehle. And the true
state Of mind back Of the extremists
was expressed in Senator Norris other
statement that public and private
power can no more mix than oil and
water"
This Is statement Of opinion,
rather than fact, and the opinion has
little to support it. In all the demo-
cratic countries public and private en-
terprise in the utility field Is very hap
PLY mixed-in Great Britain and in
Sweden for instance, and obviously it
was to find way Of mixing them that
the President called a conference in
the first place.
The reaction Of large part of the
liberal press indicates that it has for
gotten the essence of liberalism and
prefers to join the fanatics. who are
accustomed to redouble their efforts
when they lose sight of their aim. Jay
Franklin, for instance. joined the
ranks of the demonologists when he
attacked DR.. Arthur Morgan's public
statement on T. v. A. policy. For
Franklin's whole attack on DR.. Nor

ment that DR.. Morgan agreed with

Association.

Hope that Congress soon will remove
an obstacle which is restricting slum
clearance in Washington was expressed
today by officials of the Washington
Housing Association.
This Is the provision in the Alley
Dwelling Act that low-rent housing
must be built in areas containing in
habited alleys. The Alley Dwelling
Authority thus is handicapped in Sc
lecting satisfactory locations, it was
pointed out.
The association said in q recent
housing letter:
Last winter the Washington Hous-
ing Association suggested that the Al
ley Dwelling Act be amended to in
crease its effectiveness. The two most
important proposals were %, that
more money be made available; (2),
that the authority be authorized to
provide low-rent dwellings elsewhere
than in squares containing inhabited
alleys.
The first of these proposals is met
by the section Of the national act au-
thorizing the President to make funds
available The second, however, still
awaits action. Pending that action the
authority is restricted to comparatively
expensive sites in built-up sections Of
the city, where, moreover, there is very
little vacant land. So the authority is
handicapped in providing dwellings to
compensate for those it demolishes in
