Disgraceful Reward For Fairness

Recently the chief electrical en-.
gineer of the government Bonnie
willie Dam project counseled repre-
sentatives Of public utility districts
to bargain fairly with private
power coppanies whose properties
they wished to purchase.
For that. he was reprimanded by
officials of the Department of the
Interior. which is in charge of Bon
eville.
A day or two later. the same en-
gineer released to the press a letter
written last January BY the late J.
D. Ross, former Administrator OF
Bonneville who died in office. The
Ross letter also counseled utility
districts to play fair with the pri-
vate utilities, and opposed the un-
necessary use of condemnation suits.
Immediately after. the engineer
was summarily discharged by the
Department, on the grounds OF
defiance" and INSTRUMENTATION. -
Is this what the many govern
ment pledges of fair dealing with
the utilities amounts to! What a
commentary on the morals of poll
tics when responsible engineer
who counsels fairness to vital pri-
waite industry. is summary kicked
out of his job.

Buying of Weapons to
Equip Army Reveals
Sharp Conflict

WASHINGTON = President
Roosevelt's decision to buy suf-
ficient weapons to equip a
minimum army of 100000 men
was far more important than
the formal announcement OF
contract awards reveals. 1t eli
makes a sharp clash between
two schools of military
thought at Washington.
Many volunteer experts, includ-
ing Herbert Hoover and Smedley
Butler, have secuted the sugges-
ton that the United States stood
in any danger from foreign attack
even If the European war ended
in a Hitler-Stalin triumph and de-
struction of the British fleet. For
a while FDR subscribed to this
theory and resisted army argu-
ments in favor of buying large
stocks Of trucks, rifles, machine
guns, artillery.

preferred to strengthen only the
navy, insisting that 1t would al
ways be sufficient protection for a
defensive war. Moreover, such ex-
penditures were more popular and
