BONNEVILLE

It is pleasing prospect which the Federal Power
Commission draws of the future of the Northwest
aided by Bonneville dam. There is only one thing
wrong with it-that it exists in the minds of the
commissioners and not in the realm of actually.
For instance there is the question of locating
electro metallurgic plants near Bonneville. There
is vast difference between industrial plants To-
Gated in the Tennessee Valley, markets al
ready in existence and within reasonable distance
of the heavily populated districts of the East, and
locating them n the Pacific Northwest. Granted
that the latter area has tremendous future, eX-
ceeded by none and, many loyal citizens of tho
Inland Empire" think, eQualled by none, it remains
a fact that the district is not yet large market
for such commodities as steel. At least, it is not
large market in the sense that those who cnviSlon
a gigantic industrial district based on Bonneville
contemplate
Thus, those in charge of the Bonneville project
would have not only to create new industries there
but new customers as well. Such project would
be perhaps the most ventureSome attempt OF the
New Deal to remake a part of the nation. That
such venture should be seriously contemplated
now, when IVA itself is still in the experimental
stage is scarcely credible. This is planning not
merely for the future, but for future which is
invisble-Wall Street Journal.

Observation-Disclosures come

where litigation costing many mil

ETHIOPIA KEEPS ON BEING
DIFFICULT
BY BRUCE CATION

A few years ago the poverty-stricken
land-hungry people of Italy set out to get
break for themselves by taking over the
rich lands of Ethiopia.
Obviously they needed break Of some
kind. Italy is full of mountains and rocks
and some AZ million people. The ordin-
airy Italian works hard and doesn't get
any too much to eat; no wonder he went
for it when someone told him that there
were fat farm lands and general riches to
be had for the taking down in Africa.
So there was a war, and peace-loving
folk on this side of the water took what
comfort they could in the reflection that
when the shooting and the killing stopped,
things at least would be little better for
the common people of Italy.
But now it begins to look as If these
italians had bought gold brick.
A disptach from Rome to a New York
newspaper reveals that the Italian gov
;ernment has given up its plans for the col
onization of Ethiopia-for the time being,
at any rate.
In the first place, the country isn't fully
pacified yet 1t won't be pacified until the
natives have been secured in the possession
of their own landS-and there happen to
be about twice as many of these natives
as the Italian high command had figured
In addition, the riches that Ethiopia
possesses aren't the kind that can be gath
nrad ouicklv General Attiio TeruZZi.
undersecretary for Italian Africa, remarks
that it will be years before the country can
be made ready for colonization
So the colonization campaign is off,
and the government is trying to get the
people to think about COlonizing Libya
instead.
Which leaves the ordinary Italian who
paid for the war sitting right back of the
eight-ball, as nearly as it can be figured
out from this distance.
It's easy to be wise after the tact, OF
course. But it doesn't hurt to point out
that that sort of thing is what a nation in
evitably lets itself in for, when it gives up
trying to think and turns all it's problems
over to a military dictator to solve. .
The dictator is certain, sooner or later,
to look for some adventure" that will
make people think that their troubles are
being taken care Of. And the adventure
is very likely to end the way this Ethiopian
conquest is ending-in general disilluslon-
ment. -
