MY whole purpose" he said,
sis to strengthen the authority
by helping to bring about bet

In the long run, the greatest
danger to the IVA lies in i'm

SOUND DIRECTION VITAL
IF the IVA is honestly and
soundly managed, and if pres
ent abuses are corrected, no
amount of opposition from with
out will defeat it's purposes. On
the contrary, the continuation
of present policies and practices
will inevitably discredit it and
tend to defeat its purposes.

uses. The increase in net in
come before fixed charges was
256 per cent over 1885"
Morgan charged that the phrase
Starting from scratch implied
that no power had been sold in
prior years.
OTHER SALES CITED
This, he said, was not the case;
that beginning in 1925 power sold
at Wilson Dam for the succeed
ing seven years had totaled S.
389, 900, an average Of 1913, 800
ANNUALLY. Another $2,021, 900 worth
Of power had been sold between
1888 and 1886 when Lilienthal
made his report, Morgan testified.
1T is clear from the above
comparison that Mr.. Lilienthal's
assertion of starting from
scratch is false, misleading, and
Inaccurate" he said.
Morgan disputed Lilienthal'S
impressive figure" of $1,197, 200
as the value Of the power sold. He
declared Lilienthal had included
$342,916 worth Of power consumed
by the Government. This, he as
serted, had been charged UP on
the books by Lilienthal at full
iva rates.
LILIENTHAL CHIEF TARGET
Morgan directed the bulk of his
attack at the youthful Lilienthal
product of Wisconsin's Progress
sive school of utility thought. He
charged him with attempting to
place the Commonwealth and
Southern in a false position In
TWAS negotiations for the pur
chase of the company, which are
still pending.
THE case referred to repre-
sents clear cut, unequivocal fall
sification on the part of the
majority of the iva board"
Morgan said. There was a per-
sistent attempt on the part Of
Mr.. Lilienthal to build up in the
public mind false understand
ing of the attitude Of the Com
monwealth and Southern Cor
poration. That company repeat
eddy had offered to sell to the
iva all Of its holdings, or any
reasonably separable part
thereof.
DELIBERATE DECEPTION"
Repeatedly Mr.. Lilienthal
had led the public to believe
that the Commonwealth and
Southern Corporation was ar
bitrarily refusing to sell its prop
critics. Thus Mr.. Lilienthal main
tanned an attitude Of antagon-
ism and bitterness in the public
mind. not by telling the truth
about the situation, but by de-
liberate deception of the public. u
