Windsor Due 10 Visit
England; Rumor Of
British Post Denied

/ PARIS, Oct. 9 (CDN Although
the Duke OF Windsor plans to visit
England for a few days shortly, his
private secretary today fatty denied
reports that he will be offered gov
ernment post.
Over the telephone the secretary
said the Windsors planned to leave
their Riviera residence. the Chateau
de la Crouee at Cap dAntibes, to-
day for their annual autumn visit
to Paris before returning to the
United States.
Asked whether the Duchess would
accompany her husband when he
makes a quick trip to England from
Paris the secretary said the matter
has not been decided yet"
Circles close to Buckingham Pal
ace discard the report that Queen
Elizabeth will receive the Duchess.
Possibly the rumors reaching
America that Winston Churchill and
Lord Beaverbrook were to meet in
Paris this week end to discuss both
the Duchess introduction to the
Queen and the Dukes pot, origi-
mated in the south of France.
1t Is true that twice in two weeks
recently Mr.. Churchill and Lord
Beaverbrook met at the Dukes
chateau for luncheon. However.
their discussions are said to have
been almost entirely about politics

Third PARTY ALREADY

Dear Editor Who said a third party
would do no good? Already the Bronx
election has caused the Democratic
party to come out and define a clean
demarcation line between themselves
in national programs and policies and
their plutocratic neighbors, the Repub-
licans. In my opinion three or four
national parties that would poll around
10 million votes apiece would intro
duce whole lot more democracy in

people.

ed that this would boost the power
rate at the bus bar to more than
mills (more than generating costs
of private utilities in the area the
authors agreed to extend the amorti-
cation period from 80 to 81 years,
which brought the rates back down a
little.
The use of the interest paid by the
power investment would retire about
s4OOOO,OOO of the excess irrigation
costs.
Director Stone of the Colorado
Water Conservation group explained
in testifying for the measure, that
Reclamationists do not want to ask
the Treasury to subsidize power IA
cilities. He held that the govern
ment's use of the interest which the
power operations paid on the invest
ment in power to retire the excess
irrigation costs would be such sub
sidy. He insisted that power opera
tions should be required to repay
their own costs, interest on those
costs. and then every penny OF the
excess irrigation cost.
Stone Worries About 'e9
Someone suggested that the power
returns would be coming in for a
century or more, and that after they
had paid off the power costs so years
hence the earnings might be applied
to the irrigation costs.
But Stone was fearful of what
congress might do so years from
now. He feared it might relieve
the power operations of paying off
some of the non-poWer costs and
urged that, lest that congress so
years hence might do something
wrong, the whole bill should be paid
at once.
Stones deep concern over the
possible violation of his personal
views by the congress of 1898 in
jected an almost comic opera tone,
and were not emphasized by other
advocates of the Rockwell bill at
the hearings.
Bureau Of Reclamation opposed the
bill, but finally compromised on bill
reducing interest from to percent,
extending the pay off period from so
to 81 years, and permitting use of
20% of the interest to pay off the
excess irrigation cost.
When the measure got to the floor
of the house, followers Of the Power
Lobby eliminated all the compromise
provisions and also forbade the Blu
reau of Reclamation to start any prof.
ect even though it might be financed
out of the existing Reclamation fund
and be self-liquidating without con-
gressional approval.
Rockwell, confronted with the
consequences of his own act, voted
against passage of the bill.
Stone commented to a Denver paper
that the west cannot get along under
he measure as passed by the house.
D'Ewart Heard Masters Voice
Only Congressman D'Ewart Of
Montana in the Missouri Valley
Reclamation states voted FOR the
measure.
But although walls are going up
