PUBLIC AND PRIVATE POWER
BY J. E. Jones

The reports on the TENNESSEE
Valley Authority investigations in
Washington furnish plenty of salts
faction to friends and foes of public
ownership. One group in Congress
sustains the New Deal while the
monority report condemns public
rule over utilities and power.
The public is more interested in
the fact that the Government has
been edging in on power and light
developments created during the last
twenty years. The Government built
power plants under the Wilson,
Harding, Coolidge and Hoover adj
ministrations. The Roosevelt Admin
istration took up old plans and null
tiplied the activities. and increased
the competition with private enter
prise. The private companies have
been brought under complete regu-
latiOn by the Government and the
States.
Likely the dual system OF private
and public ownership is here to stay.
and so far as Mr.. and Mrs. John Q.
Public are concerned the competition
is not going to hurt them.
Perhaps, IL the private companies
had not been quite as obstreperOus,
and naughty toward the public they
wouldn't find themselves playing
second fiddle in a great national en-
terprise. in which a few years ago
they had the world by the tail"

SENATORIAL COURTESY

Associate Justice Douglas was
confirmed by the Senate by vote oil
81 to 4. The appointive power is the
responsibility of the President. and
il has always been a process OF sen
atorial courtesy" to approve these
amendments unless some eXcep-
iiOnal reason exists to disquality a
person who has been named to Of
flee. Thus, while the President and
the Senate may be entirely In dis
agreement about advancing man at
Ter man to the Supreme Court who
has minor legal experience, the
Senate continues to approve the
Judgment of the President.
In the case of Mr.. Amlie, OF Wis
consin. the nomination was held up,
and likely will not be approved be-
cause that gentleman had made
statements before he was appointed
In favor of Government ownership
of the railroads He admitted par
tisan attitude concerning this great
judicial question that is the very
foundation of the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
IF Il had not been for that one slip
the Senate would likely have voted

THE MYSTERIOUS vITANIN c

A marketing agreement has just
met with almost unanimous approx e
al of the growers of Florida citrus
fruits, says release Of the l. >.
Department of Agriculture. The pro-
gram is of interest 10 the growers.
and to the public as we'll.
Perhaps there never has been a
time when citrus fruits were III
greater demand than the present
winter That is very fortunate be-
cause the Florida crop is a bumper
one and the supply is equal t0 the
demands. The East has had bad
weather and wherever you go one
runs into epidemics of colds, grippe,
and intestinal flu. Within reach of
thousands of patients there is grape
fruit, or a glass of grape fruit or
orange juice. Fellow-sneezers ad-

DICTATORS COME HIGH

One of the favorite tricks-of-the-
trade of the dictators is TO show how
they have ended unemployment and
want in their countries. and to ar
que from this that one-man govern
ment Is the way to human happi-
ness and prosperity. The govern
ment-dominated German press, for
instance, is always publishing artt-
cles about want and starvation in
America. as proof" of their theory
that democracy is a degenerate and
Out-of-date theory of government
In the light of that. some figures
presented by Paul Mallon. represent
ing months OF careful personal in
vestigation. penetrating guarded do
tatOrial secrets" are of exceptional
interest.
In Russia. according to this sur
yey. the average worker gets $ll a
week. and in Germany he gets $l2 to
SIS. In the United States. he gets
$23.32.
In Russia, the lowest paid class of
workers gets 1880 and in Germany
S4.25. In this country they get S4.S5
(WPA minlmuml.
And that doesn't tell half the
story. The big thing of interest TO
the worker anywhere is real wages"
that is. his pay computed in terms
of what 1t will buy. rather than in
terms of dollars. marks or rubles.
And here the comparison is even
more unfavorable to the industrial
slaves of the dictators. A pound of
steak costs a dollar or more in
either Russia or Germany as against
SS cents here. A pound of coffee
costs $12 in Russia and SIPS in Ger
many. as against % cents here. A
dozen eggs costs s1.26 in Russia and
~ cents in Germany. as against "a
cents here. So 1t goes. down the list
of necessities and luxuries.
What is responsible for our world
supremacy in the workers standard
of living? You can answer that in
three words-the capitalist system,
which encourages private enterprise
You can denounce that system all |
YOU please. but what else has
brought about the industrial pro-
gress that has given US more money |
for less work-and has given even |
low paid workers things that only |
the favored minority in the dictator
ships can buy?

LABOR AND PEACE

On the eve of the negotiations for
labor peace between the CIO and the
AFofL the latter organization car
ried some important items in its
Weekly News Service. The Supreme
Court decisions were vigorously ap-
proved and sit-down strikes were
handled in vigorous language. Said
AFofL: Although hailed by Com
munists. anarchists, parlor intel
lectuals. pseudo liberals and politi-
cal opportunists as an advance tech
nique for the workers in labor dis
putes. the sit-down strike was def
nitely killed and appropriately bur-
led by the United States Supreme
Court"
The AFofL publication, at the
same time, reported on its Peace
Conference Committee: I'm an
nouncing the appointment of the
Committee Mr.. Green said the Am
erican Federation of Labor would
not consent to make the democratic
principles which underlie the struc-
ture of the American Federation of
Labor the subject matter of negoti-
alton. He added that the mechanical
difficulties in the way of peace had
increased since the unsuccessful ne
gotiations at the end of 1887"
AFofL and CIO have their nation

IMAGINATION AND CREATIVE
ACHIEVEMENT
Janette Stevenson Murray

By the time the child is two years
old, he begins to show imaginative
fancies; the dolly laughs. the auto
does not want to wait, the holes in
the waffle outline houses. Although
this imagination reaches its height
during the years between four and
six. it continues through life. being
more marked in some individuals
than in others.
Sammie Dow is in the imaginative
stage now. His mother told us that
last wash day he got out the pots
and pans and made cakes all the
morning. OF course she was asked
TO taste each one. Later on when
she started to clear up the kitchen,
Sammie helped nicely until she pick
ed up 4 small cookie cutter which he
had put on 4 chair. Then he burst
into tears and she tried in vain to
comfort him. Finally. he made her
understand that what looked to her
like Il cOOkie-cutter was TO him a
cake made especially for daddy. OF
course she put it back on the chair
to await the cakemaker's pleasure,
and she delighted Sammie by having
him describe the cake. 1t was choco-
late with white frosting. The little
fellow even told about mixing eggs
and sugar and -four and baking the
cake. The chair. it seemed. was the
oven. They discussed how long he
had to leave it there.
The cake was real to him for after
an hour and half of playing outside
with no thought of cakemaking. the
instant Mr.. Dow appeared. Sammie
dashed inside for the cake. The
cOokie-cutter was presented to daddy
and the little boy danced in glee
while his father admired the imagi-
nary cake and pretended 10 eat it
with relish. Then Sammie again went
all over the history OF the cake.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dow have given us
good example of how We may enter
whOleheartedly into the child's spirit
OF make believe. We must be ready
to pretend that a leaf is a hat and
4 clothespin. doll to order grocer
les from an imaginary storekeeper:
or to converse with an invisible
"grOWn-up" lady visitor about her
children and her housekeeping prob
lens.
These fancies and conceits should
be encouraged because later in life
Imagination has great value. 1t pre-
cedes all creative achievement. For
example: the milliner visions how
the hat looks when worn. before she
begins to trim it; the cook pictures
the bright colored salad on the plate,
before she prepares her luncheon;
the historian recreates characters.
and lives over events. before he
writes his book; the interior decora-
tor sees the finished room complete
with rugs. furniture. and draperies.
before he plans for papering the
walls and painting the woodwork and
floors.
1t is true that we should direct this
Imagination and protect our children
from its dangers. but while doing
this, we must be careful not TO stitie
the imagination itself. II is price
less heritage. Life without imagina-
tion is barren.

The Creation of Abundance

In the early days men worked
from dawn to dark to supply them
selves with the simple necessities OF
/ life--food, shelter, clothing. A prim-
/ tive economy
With the help of better and still
better tools and methods, through
| evolution, we have learned gradual
ly how to provide Ourselves--in a
fraction of the time and with much
less effort-nOt only with the neces-
stiles, but with a long list of COM
forts and cOnveniences as well. This
production of comforts and cOnven-
iences sets additional people at work
and raises the standard of living for
everyone. An economy Of abund-
anCel
Anything that limits our ability TO
produce as absOlete tools or
arbitrarily shortened working hours
not offset by increased efficiency
through better equipment and oper-
ating techniques-automatically low
ers standards of living and reduces
employment, because prices rise and
fewer can buy. An economy Of
scarcity! Employment today is bas-
ed not only on necessities, but on
the production of the comforts and
cOnveniences that make up the Am
erican standard of living.
These economic principles were
well illustrated in a Photograph re-
Gently submitted to the nearly 4OO.-
900 General Motors stockholders
along with a short message entitled
'"The Creation Of Abundance" hyeAl-
fred P. Sloan, Jr., Chairman. In his
message MF.-Sloan said, in part:
"Better tools are important, but
adequate productive hours likewise
are important. Maximum productiv-
ity-the greatest amour of employ
ment and the highest national in
come-depends, among other things.
upon a proper balance between the
hours of work and the efficiency OF
that work. And the efficiency Is
measured by the extent to which we
capitalize chronological progress
through better tools and better OPP
Grating technique, the true basis OF
lower costs and lower selling prices.
what is needed today to broaden
the present recovery movement
along a wide front. and to enable 1t
to continue for q prOtracted period
of time, is investment of capital IN
the making of new and useful things,
as well as In better instruments OF
production in order that the present
things may be made at lower cost
and sold at lower price, tnus
bringing them within the range OF a
greater number of buyers.
Even ii we were to ignore the
accumulated deficit of the past few
wears and limit ourselves 10 a nor

ers' goods and capital goods during
the next few years. there could ne

productivity involving billions of
man hours of employment per year.
IL can be said. without eXaggeration,
that this would he sufficient to alb
sorb q large part of the now nnem-
ploved that are emplOyahle.
"Snch are the possibilities. the
probabilities, however. of such an
extensive recovery depend upon the

forces of the country toward the pos
sihilities Of profit and the safety of
