Politics In Business


Two Of the largest Of the federal
governments hydro-electric projects
have been established In the Pacific
Northwest-at Grand Coulee and
Bonneville dams. Little power has
been sold by these vast undertake
ings, end their administrators are
now seeking industrial consumers.
Yet, according TO the Spokane
Spokesman Review, engineers con-
nected with a large Eastern manu-
featuring industry are giving seri-
GUS consideration to the possibility
of utilizing an important privately
owned power project in the State Of
Washington.
Commenting on this, the official
publication of the Portland Chamber
Of Commerce, says: Undoubtedly
the industrialists who have been
looking to the Columbia River for
the possibility Of establishing their
plants on a low cost operating bs-
sis. have reached the concln-
sion that government power is so
entangled in politics that it can new
er be made a low cost element for
the advancement Of employment and
increased production of the necessi-
ties OF life IN this country"
The government has spent tens of
millions in building its tax-subsidiz-
ed, tax-free Columbia River dams.
The power facilities at these pro
jeets viii more than double all ex-
listing facilities in the area when full
production is reached. According to
power specialization enthusiasts, the
government dams marked the COM
ing OF a new era to the Northwest,
to be accompanied by industrial de-
YelOpment on an unprecedented
scale. Yet the cold fact is that the
administrators Of the dams are
looking in vain for big consumers
and now it appears that Eastern in
dustry which considers settling in
the Far West is looking into pri-
vate hydro resources.
Government in business means
politics in business-right up to the
