Forecast of Labor Bill Veto Fails

Whitney. He himself asked Con-
gress then for a law more drastic"
than anything now proposed. It
is so incredible that Mr.. Truman
does not personally believe the curb
ing Of these labor bosses Is In the
public interests that his veto GER
tainly would be ascribed to discred-
liable political reasons.
Weighing the facts, 1t Is hard to
escape the conclusion that he has
far more to lose than gain by a
veto. It would be bad for the coun-
try and bad for him. This seems so
clear that, despite the unqualified
nature of the forecasts, many of his
friends refuse to believe them.
Those who make them have been
known to be wrong before.

CRYING OUT 1OI
water as they will continue to DO
until their thirst has been slaked
The story begins with the curt
refusal of the Republican-con-
trolled House Committee on Appro-
priations to give the thirsty West
what it needs to clear its throat OF
dust. Senators Taft and Bridges
are trying to get by with assuring
the West that the established recla-
nation policy was born during the
Republican administration OF T'heo-
dore Roosevelt. However, that was
a long time ago and the Repuon-
can leaders of both houses are likely
to learn that conciliatory, If remi-
niscent, words slake no thirst either,
1s4S Campaign Issue.
Without realizing what they were
doing, the Republican leadership
has provided in every State west OF
the Missouri River resounding
campaign issue for 194S. Apparently
Gov. Warren of California has been
shrewd enough to realize this for
he took the leadership for his own
State and the rest Of the water
hungry West, when he quietly came
into Washington some time ago to
plead the cause of reclamation
and cheap public power before the
unheeding John Taber, who comes
from Gov. Dewey's State. 1t would
be ironic indeed If the hopes OF
Gov. Dewey, Senator Taft and SEN
ator Vandenberg to capture the
White House next year for a Re-
publican could be realized only by
nominating for President this same
Gov. Warren.

acing political storm is gathering in

Political Storm Seen Brewing in West
On Fund Cuts in Reclamation Projects

made in the House Of Representa-
tives during the debate on the De-
partment of Interior appropriation
massacre:
Representative Miller Of Nebraska
is a Republican. He said: "Mr
Chairman, am disappointed thai
this 1947 appropriation bill for re.
clamation has been given such 8
drastic cut by the committee
- Water Is our lifeblood.
Republican Representative Poul-
sor, Of California, contributed: "Mr
Chairman, this bill could be called
the Discrimination Against-the-
West Bill easier than 1t could pe
called the Interior appropriation
bill. Is it economy to thwari
this (Western) development :
say no."
Said Representative Carroll Of
Colorado, also a Republican: "Mr
Chairman, there has been great
deal of talk about the cost o1
these great (reclamation) projects
You are not giving the West some
thing for nothing; we intend te
pay it all back. That is more than
can be said of pork-barrel appro.
priations given to the East ano
Central States, not dime of which
is reimbursable."
Calls For" True Economy.
Representative Dawson, Republi-
can, of Utah observed: Il suggest
that true economy can be achieved
better through completing promptly
irrigation projects which have been
started in which the Federal Gov
ernment has an investment than
it can be achieved by slowing down
construction and piling up overhead
costs on frozen investment"
Republican Congressman from II
Western States voiced similar senti-
mentS.
Representative johnson, another
from California, under
took to prophesy:: Let me point out
to you, furthermore, that In Cali
fornia we have GOO, 900 new veterans
in addition to the ones who enlisted
or were inducted from California.
Our whole economy is set up and
based on the rapid development
OF these great systems of water and
power. These veterans will get a
direct benefit from the ir-
rigation features and the electric
power features. I suggest that the
members listen to our Governor
(Warren) =. He might be here
in 1949 sending budget suggestions
down to US"
It happens that there are several
aspirants for the Republican nomi-
nation for the presidency in the
Senate.
I suspect that Senate Republican
leaders will give heed to these pro-
tests and make at least a partial
restoration of the cuts imposed
upon the Bureau of Reclamation by
Congressman Taber and his merry
men on the Appropriations Com
mittee Of the House.

to q lesser extent the Italians. But
it was also major assistance to
such Moscow-puppets as Marshal
T'ito's Yugoslav armies and the
Polish government.
Billions IN Loans Granted.
we continued to assist the econ-
omic restoration of Europe In the
hope that our financial and econ
.onaic help might bring order out Of
the political confusion which grips
Western Europe. We granted q
s., ,750, 900 600 loan to Britain and
we loaned $500, ,0o0, 600 to France, to
say nothing Of many lesser loans to
almost every nation which asked
for one, either directly from the
American government or from the
Export Import Bank.
There is hardly country IN
Europe and few In Asia and Africa
which has not applied, or is ready
to apply, for further economic and
financial assistance from this ccln-
try. So far the hundreds OF billions
spent by the American people TO
destroy economic and political total
itarianism and bring at least
semblance Of order in the world
have yielded small dividends. It Is
expected that we will supply every
conceivable form of financial and
economic help, but we are treated
as meddlers If, occasionally. we
suggest that the beneficiaries OF our
generosity put their houses In order.
The present disquieting situation
In Germany Is due, among other
things, to the failure Of the Moscow
Conference and to the persistent
application Of the Morgenthau
plan. Confronted by the latent
conflict between the East and West,
the German people are disheartened
and have little hope for the future.
To this now is added the shortage
of food.
The German people discover that
after a disastrous winter, summer
offers no relief. Unless a political
solution to the German problem Is
found soon, the Germans will be-
come our political wards, whether
we like it or not, and the American
people will find themselves with q
German poorhouse on their hands.

Even before the Germans were

a large part Of her food by selling
her manufactured goods abroad. In
those days, however, Germany was
an entity and could draw on her

Prussia, for part Of its daily bread.
The Morgenthau plan, which pro-
vided for the industrial annihila-

The use Of armed forces to pre-
vent major outbreaks among the
Germans will be of no avail. Our
military authorities are aware that
unless immediate relief is sent, many
Germans may prefer to die In riots
than die the slow and painful death

The United States is regarded by
