When the IVA was created in
1888, it took over from the War
Department the great Wilson Dam
in Alabama. 1t was intended to
remake the Tennessee River Val
ley area through the construction
Of group of dams which would
conserve its water and control
floods, incidentally, it would have
to sell the hydro-electric power
generated in connection with the
dams. 1t built the Morris Dam on
the Clinch River, north of Knox
vile; the Wheeler Dam, in Ala
bama, and the Pickwick Landing
Dam, near the TennesSee-MiSSiS-
sippi-Alabama state lines.
It is pushing the completion of
three other dams, has started
work on a fourth and is getting
ready to begin a fifth. When the
dams are completed, the IVA will
have a power capacity of l,400,-
900 kilowatts. While the figures
have been the subject of consid-
cradle dispute, j. A. Krug, now
In charge Of the program, esti-
mates that when the ten dams
are in, operation and the power
output has been taken by the
communities in the area affected,
the IVA will have an annual
income of $40, OOO, 900 from power
and that more than $3,000,000
will remain from power revenue
annually after all direct and al
located power costs have been
deducted.

AGRICULTURE IN ALASKA

Congress mas been accused often of swallowing
camel and saaning at a gnat but seldom is better
example Of that particular business afforded than
gate Dnond for 81 $50 increase in the appropriation
for Alaska experiment station work was turned down
after half an hour of spirited debate
When the Adams Purnen and Capper- Ketcham
Acts were extended to Alaska in 1886 provision
made that increases in the appropriation should be
allowed at the rate of $500 year until 1947 This
year the Bureau of the Budget recommended appro-
priation of $4,000 for experiment stations in the Ter
ritory When the Ways and Means Committee of the
House trimmed this figure $2375O Delegate Dimond
offered an amendment to restore the appropriation
TO $4,000.
The Committee raised the amount of the agricul-
tlral bill for parity prices at home than $780,
100000 but when it to the proposition of appro-
s prating the magnificent sum of $50 for Alaska
agriculture it baked.
The committee used its blue pencil on the Alaska
. item despite recommendation of DR.. Jardine in
charge OF experiment station work in the Department
Of Agriculture that Congress be little more liberal
for research in Alaska.
- Il may say for the benefit of the Committee, DR..
lardine said and also to express my own judgment
and feeling we have a tremendous Territory in AL
ssfa 1t is long way from the United States, and
Their soil problems and other problems different
from those problems in the United States.
Il am quite sure from 80 years experience in re-
search that if and when the time should come that
we would need to or would undertake much further
development in Alaska would be sorely in need

Machiavelli in Our Time

Recently in The Times magazine, Philip Cue
ialla remarked incidentally that any looking in
The past political quotations opposite today would
be we'll advised turn not to such Burke OF
Mil who probably would not have understood present
conditions but to Machiavelh. In the current issue
cf FOREIGN Affairs there is interesting study of
Machiaven and Machiavesm" by the historian
Ferrero tt is a sad commentary on our own times
that men should find the international policies o.
certain governments based far closely the
ainoa advice OF this cynical counselor of fifteenth
century Florence than the maxims of any philoso
pher Of liberalism democracy who has written since
then.
Whether either Hitler or Mussolin has consci-
ousy based his policy the dictums of The Prince
certainly the course Of each could hardly have been
much different if he had done so. One of the centrs
colnsels OF Machaveln is that ruler should never
hesitate to break faith "Those princes who have
things have held good faith of little account
and in the end have overcome those who relied or
their word" He continues:
"A wise lord cannot, ought he to, keep faith
when reasons that caused him to pledge it exist no
longer Nor will there be wanting to prince
legitimate reasons to excuse this non-observance
This is what Mr. Chamberlain has recently
learned both from Hitler and Mussolini Machiavell
goes on:
Men are so simple and so subject to present
necessities that he who seeks to deceive will always
find some one who will allow himself to be deceived
Which no doubt explains why in the face OF the
Balkan States who can find their new pledges salts
factory
"A prince ought to have no other aim or thought
nor select anything else for his study than war and
its rules and discipline This is certainly not piece
of advice that either the Fuehrer II Duce has neg
ected The following counsel may explain Hitlers
Immediately after taking over Austria and the
fragments of Czechoslovakia: IN Selling state the
usper ought to examine closely into all those injuries
which it is necessary for him to nflct and to do them
all at stroke not to have to repeat them
daily" In dealing with the Balkan states Hitler has
adhered closely the Machiavellan conclusion that
/ id is much safer to be feared than loved"
In one respect Mussolini has been acting counter
10 the advice of his fifteenth century countryman:
"A prince ought to take. care never to make an
alliance with one powerful than himself for the
purpose Of attacking others because if he conquers
you are at his discretion
Until he began his present system of alliances
| Mr. Chamberlain, who had been the victim of, the
Machiavean tactics of the dictators, depending
heavily on the hope that Mussolin before the final
accounting would recognize the truth of this Machia-
! vellian maxim.

of facts which amount of money could gather for

In Alaska have about 100000 acres of agri-
cultural and grazing land some Of it of excellent
quality On similar lands in Norway Sweden and
Finland several million people exist and have estab-

work already done by the experiment stations has been
Of much value but only beginning has been made.
Success welfare not only of the present Alaska
farmers but all others who bound to come in the
future may well depend upon the thoroughness and
extent to which the experimental work is carried on
IN the Territory now.
The United States may be rushing to the rich
resources of minerals and timber in Alaska for
materials and ought at least to make small extra
effort at this time to encourage experiment with and
investigation Of the yet undeveloped agricultural
sources of the Territory

BARON DENIES HE
 IS SPY FOR NAZIS
Man, Who May Wed Kay Francis, Relative of
 Former Kaiser

Hollywood, March 29.-(UP)- Baron Raven Erik Angus Barnekow. who may soon become Actress Kay Francis fifth husband, charged to- day that he had been called a "Nazi" spy" and announced that he would seek legal redress from Coun- tess Dorothy Di Frasso, one of the film colony's most popular hos teSSeS.
 "She called me Nazi spy," he said in complaint filed at the dis trict attorneys office charging Slan- der. And I'm not a Naz spy; in fact, I'm becoming an American citizen. I'm manufacturer of mo- tors and such false remarks as this may damage my business"
 Related to Kaiser
 The baron, who wishes to be called MT. Barnekow" even though he is distantly related to the former kaiser, complained that the coun- tess had been making remarks" about him ever since he became en- gagged to Miss Francis a year ago.
 Deputy Prosecutor John Galleano heard the complaint and then di- rected the baron to Beverly Hills justice court, saying that if an of- fense had been committed, it was only misdemeanor. The baron was to see Justice Cecil D. Holland to- day.
 Countess Di FraSso, who was born in America, made a vigorous denial.

because of its abuses has given them little hope are easy prey to the lying promsies of another system which promises to abolish the abuses. Communism hopes for suc-- cess on a just protest against an economic order which has refused to draw the logical foundations of its Christian foundation. But Con- munism certainly is not the answer to the abuses of our social system. It is based on principles which America, founded on the principle of Christianity, cannot accept and it is based on an economic theory which in the one country cl the world where it had the brightest chances of success, Russia, and it has betrayed the people of Russia, as it would betray the people of America, to the most cruel and most miserable status in their long history of misery and despotism.
 Positive Menace
 This evening, my dear friends, we condemn Communism as un- American and as a positive menace to our national life. In the past we have condemned it as the ene- my of Christianity, the enemy of all religion. Next week we hope to give the Catholic answer to the threat of Communism.
 In conclusion we may state that in the development of Communism there are three recognized stages. The first is the broad front which is established by capitanzing all grievances and grouping together all who are not anti Communistic. To the Communist all who are anti Communistic are labelled Fascist. The Communist seems to recognize only two possibilities the Fascist and the Communist! if you oppose them you are a Fascist, not by any chance a lover of democracy. The second stage in the development of Communism is the front made up of the union of Socialist and Com mrnist as it exists in France. The third stage is the civil war to pre- pare for the dictatorship of the proletariat-as it was in Spain.
 Today America is in the first. stage. The seeds are being sown in fertile ground in America-and if we SOW Moscow, without question we shall reap the bloodshed and destruction of Spain.
