Power Politics

Electric companies have urged Gus
toners to use electricity as needed, and
no more - which means don't waste it.
This mild admonition has been taken by
a few people to mean there is an impend-
ing shortage of electricity. Actually there
is no shortage and never has been,
although the more energetic public
ownership advocates like to imagine one
Just around the corner as an excuse
for building more and bigger public
power dams at taxpayers expense. The
reason for conserving electric energy
can be summed up in the words of J. A.
Krug, head of the governments Office
of War Utilities: In the electric utility
industry the installed generating ca
pacity together with capacity now
under construction, is ample to meet
all foreseeable electric needs. 1t is
essential, however, to save the use OF
electricity where possible so as to reduce
directly or indirectly the demands for
material, fuel, transportation and man.
power
Just how ample electric generating ca
pacity is in this country was Strikingly
described recently in the New York Times:
Americas electric power and light in
dustry is one of the few industries that is
having little difficulty in meeting all
demands for war production and civilian
requirements as we'll. Since Pearl Har-
Dor there has not been single instance
where major demand for power by war
industry has not been met. And as our
second year of war draws to a close, the
nations utilities, both private and public,
find themselves in the enviable position
of having "a per cent reserve capacity"
Those who advocate rapid expansion of
the Federal hydroelectric power program
on the grounds of threatened power
shortage, are simply promoting state
socialism.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-01-25
Transport Troubles

In the course of its lengthy annual
report to Congress, the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission issued solemn warn
ing that our overburdened rail- water and
highway transportation system would
need new materials, equipment and per-
sonnet if our whole war program were to
be saved from grave consequences.
'Now that the production of war ma
terials appears to be more satisfactory"
the report states, "those responsible for
the ALLEGATION of materials will no doubt
give serious consideration to the
needs of equipment for transportation
agencies"
1t is good to know that some such con-
Sideration has already been given. In the
last quarter of 1913, the War Production
Board allocated to truck and auto parts
manufacturers the second largest amount
of steel of any similar period in the indus
trys history. That is only first step,
of course, which leaves the equally i'm
portant problems of manufacturing facll-
tiles and personnel still unsolved. But
it does show an awareness of a critical
situation, and an effort to keep 'em
rolling"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-01-25
Battle of Price Tags

A couple of years ago, low-price dry
goods retailers were selling essential
articles of clothing at minimum prices
based on volume sales, low manufactur-
ing costs and efficient merchandising.
They operated on a very narrow profit
margin. Their methods typified mass dis
tribution at its most efficient peak
AS creeping initiation spread and man.
ufacturing costs rose, these retailers
could not re-stock goods at former prices.
Finally the time came when it was a
question of either revise price tags, or
cease to sell a frightening list of necessi-
ties. Then along came the OPA with a
decree, Maximum Price Regulation $50,
making it illegal for stores which had
been selling womens, girls, and chill
dren'S outerWear garments in 1912 at
pre-inflation prices, to raise prices of those
items to meet rising manufacturing costs.
However, stores which did not handle this
type of goods in 1912, and consequently
had no price tag precedent, were free to
sell womens and girls garments at
higher prices. Initiation was to be writ
ten off via the retail price tag.
No one knows why women's garments
in particular should receive the special
attention of OPA, nor has anyone seen
fit to attempt to excuse the injustice OF
the decree, except on the ground that it
was to control initiation. And that is no
answer, as initiation is an accomplished
fact long before the retail merchant is
compelled to change his price tags. Deny
ing its existence behind a screen of price
tag fiction that deprives a merchant of
goods to sell, does not help consumers.
They can't wear price tags.
Now the OPA has amended it's wolnen's
apparel decree, giving temporary partial
relief to retailers. But the fallacy of at
tempting to control initiation after it has
reached the retail merchant, remains I'M
changed. The battle of price tags con-
tinues while initiation of production costs
goes merrily on.

Stirring News

We can imagine the profound emotions
that must have stirred American soldiers
in the cold and slush of the Italian front
when they heard the news from home the
other night. To think that poor Jimmy
Cromwell's guest, representative Brit
ish fugitive from the London blitz, would
vacate the masters bedroom.
We can imagine their emotions over
that $1,000, 100000, too. Did wealthy
Jimmy really demand it for the price OF
his freedom? Or did Mrs. Cromwell, the
former and even weather. Doris Duke,
simply get fit of petulance in her Ha-
waiian paradise of Shanghai, and re-
fuse to give it to Jimmy to dole out to
the masses?
We can imagine the G. rs emotions,
but we probably couldn't print the words
that expressed them.

First Coal, Then Steel

When John L. Lewis outbluffed or out
boxed the administration, and won for his
miners retroactive pay raises, the fore
sighted predicted that a wind had been
sown which would become whirlwind.
Now $4,000 steel workers demand
retroactive increases. They cannot see
why they should be denied the benefits
granted notably to the miners, but also
to some lesser groups. That" says one
steel workers official, sis the Christmas
present we get for breaking all known
production records-a discriminatory
slap in the face"

But so was production of coal. If Lewis

Breakthrough

I'm mighty glad the Russians are on

1t looks as though the Red Army may
be achieving that breakthrough which is
it's real goal but which hitherto, although
the Germans have been pushed back
from five to seven hundred miles, never
has come. Territory is of minor import
ance in this war. Integrated armies are
all-important. If the NaziS really are
cracking up in the Ukraine, they can
hardly hope to rally short of the Bug

facilities for clearing a traffic up
to 300 planes an hour, including
the largest of the transatlantic

Those who dip bit into the fu-

there not only from Europe but
from all parts Of the world. The
cost Of this airport will be well
over 100 million dollars. New York
City expects it to be self-suporting,
and the city itself, the state of New
York, the Federal government, or
all three in combination, will have
to put up the initial funds to get
1t going.
The big point for other munich
palities to note is the fact that New
York City is not leaving anything
to chance in this respect. Air
transportation is too important to
New York's future. New York's
pre-eminence in commerce is no
accident. The city grew where it is
because 1t has the most advan-
tageous harbor on the Eastern sea-
board. The railroads followed as
matter of course. If air transpor-
tation Is to take the place of rail-
roads to any considerable extent
New York will be ready.

FEDERAL CONTROL OF MILK
(Hartford Courant)

The creeping, crawling, grasping
hand of domination by the Federal
Government was never more CO.
gently stated nor better illustrated
than in the resolutions adopted by
the annual convention of the Con-
necticut Dairymen's Association.
The impotence of Connecticut to
deal with the milk situation with
in its OWE borders was voiced in &
vote of thanks to Governor Bald
win for "his untiring efforts to OBJ
tain corrective action" The dairy
men said that they realize that
1.-THE State is virtually unable, due
to the power of the Federal Gov
eminent, to take any steps to pro-
tect the industry or the people of
the State from the consequences of
the shortsighted policies now being
followed by the Federal Govern
ment"
With this fact in mind the Asso-
citation called upon "the President
of the United States to initiate i'm
mediate steps to remedy the dairy
situation, including the adoption Of
a sensible food policy and support
ing action programs Since the
Federal Government has invaded
the States and appropriated 10 it.
self the control of matters hereto
fore regarded as of local concern,
that resolution places the respon-
sibility for the crisis in the milk in
dustry right where 1t belongs.
The phrase, supporting action
programs" although rather indef-
mite and open to the Interpretation
Of endorsing anything from a price
increase to consumer subsidies, at
least is not unqualified approval of
the present subsidy for grain fed
to mich cows. Were that pitiable
handout sufficient to place the dali
rymen on sound financial basis
it is unlikely that any resolution so
sweeping in It's condemnation of
Federal policies concerning food in
general and milk In particular,
would have been adopted. Consid-
ering the bipartisan composition Of
such a large organization as the
Connecticut Dairymen's Associa-
ton, the pertinent fact is that any
resolution at all expressing blan-
ket disapproval of Washington
food policies was adopted.
