can be drawn AS long as these two
agencies (both of which repay the
federal government dollar for dollar of
loan) and similar agencies must de-
pend upon individual appropriations
by the congress, then so long will
they and the people of the west be
vulnerable to the control so frequently
exerted upon the congress by large
eastern interests.
The solution is obvious. Our val
ley must be developed on an author
ity basis, whereby funds will be ap-
propriated on lump-sum basis, with
ALLEGATION left up to the authority di-
rectors after consultation with repre-
sentatives from all the basin areas.
Thus, and only thus, can we look for
stable, steady, sound development of
all the resources of our great valley.
DEGREES Controlled Press
Propaganda
In enlightening the people of the
Miles City area as to just what an
MVA is, and who is opposing it, Sen
ator Murray further told his radio
audience:
1.-THE private power utilities in the
Missouri valley are opposed to an
MVA program and the development
Of business in the west because they
fear it will mean the lowering of the
power rates. So we find widespread
propaganda in the controlled press of
Montana seeking to deceive the people
and defuddle their minds on this i'm
portant matter" He criticized many
Montana newspapers for misrepre-
senting MvA and for abusive and
vindictive statements designed to pref
udice the people of Montana against
the full development of the resources
of the Missouri valley"
sit is difficult to understand these
bitter attacks by the Miles City Star
merely because we are seeking to
bring IoWcost power to Montana and
develop its resources. Such pro-
gram might reduce the power rates
of the corporations for little while
but eventually, with the expansion
of business, it would benefit them as
it did in the IVA.
During all my career in the senate
have co-operated with the Miles City
Star and had the cooperation of it's
publisher when Joe Scanlon was alive
There is no justification for its pres
ent course of abuse against me. l
am merely standing with the people
in an effort to improve Montana con-
ditions. Throughout the nation, indie
pendent newspapers and economists
have come to recognize the need for
an MVA to control the floods and de-
velop the resources of the Missouri
valley"

October 1, 1947
Dear Congressman:

Dear Congressman:
Again | ask, what are we waiting
for as the battle continues between
the fascists or monopolists on one side
and the extreme radical element on
the other. To my mind the greatest
mistake that the United States con-
gress ever made was when they re-
duced the excess profits tax from IS
| to SO percent This should have been
raised to 100 percent as today we are
coasting along with $258 billion debt,
money free and easy, initiation and
prices at their height, and no one
knows where this will end.
The first thing to be done is to
balance the budget and set aside as
much as possible to liquidate our ma
tional debt as it is unfair for us to
allow this debt to be pushed onto the
shoulders of future generations be-
cause before it will be paid off the
principal will be more than doubled in
interest. The reduction of the excess
profits tax and the refunding OF 81
billion, in my estimation, is the direct
cause of all our grief-our strikes,
high prices and all of our troubles.
Congress, together with our state legis-
latures, have the power to control in
come and liquidate debts and it is
their duty to do so. Prices are still
rising and we are told we have forty
billion dollars worth of equipment and
supplies stored in factories, ware
houses, wholesale houses and even
retail stores. We should start on the
farm, the oil fields, timber lands, fac
tories, wholesale houses and ware
houses and place a tax from no per-
cent to 25 percent per month on all
commodities that are in surplus. This
would soon level prices.
We are told the reason for return
ing the four billion dollars to the cor
porations was for reconversion. Most
corporations have more money in their
treasures now than at any time in
their history and did not need this
money, but it was put there as a bait
and every one was struggling to get
his or her exaggerated share. With
interest rates as low as they are, there
should be no trouble in obtaining mon
ey for new ventures and expansion of
business to take care of necessities
of the country and also the world and
if the money was not forthcoming,
congress could easily place a tax on
every cash dollar that was not in
vested, making safety deposit boxes

ration to the Palestine aspect of

Includes Iran, Afghanistan, India,
