On the Other Hand
Dewey, Congress Found in Agreement
On Private Delivery of Public Power

His conclusion, as reported to his
organization last week, was:
Gov. Dewey and a majority OF
Republicans in Congress are in es-
sential agreement with the power
trust program as shown by Deweys
recent espousal of public main line
transmission, leaving ultimate de-
livery to the utilities, a procedure
approved by the Eightieth Con-
igress."
In the last session of Congress
Representative Dondero, Republican
of Michigan, chairman Of the Pub
lie Works Committee, introduced a
bill. 1t provided that hereafter
Government power would be SOLD
from the switchboard at the dams
to private utilities, the latter to
transmit and sell the power to the
ultimate consumers. In the same
session, Representative Jensen, Re-
publican, of Iowa prepared a state
ment of policy on the subject for
the House Appropriations Commit
tee. This said:
1T is unsound and against the
principles of our form of govern
ment to appropriate Government
funds for the construction Of trans
mission lines, switchyards, substa-
tions and incidental facilities where
private capital is prepared to pro-
vide them"
Pinned Down by Reporter.
Out in the West, where they un-
derstand these matters, Gov. Dewey
succeeded in talking all around the
question of transmission without
actually coming to grips with it.
He was finally pinned down, how
ever, by reporter, the redoubtable
Pete Brandt of the st. Louis Post
Dispatch. Asked by Mr.. Brandt to
state his position on the public dis
tribution of publicly generated pow
er, the candidate said his plan
called for carrying the power over
the main lines" to given area.
So Mr.. Kings conclusion Is the
same as that of a transmission en-
gineer whom he quotes as saying,
"Dondero would sell Government
power to the private utilities at the
switchboard; Dewey would sell it to
the companies from big Government
switching stations along or at the
end Of the public line, mere ex-
tension of the switchboard. But
the municipalities and the consum-
ers will get soaked by the utilities
Just the same"

important part over period OF 40
years in establishing the present
Federal power policy. This policy,
in essence, provides for direct sale

at dams built In connection with
reclamation, irrigation, soil conser-
vation and flood control projects.

of assaults on this established policy
during the Eightieth Congress, Mr..

This Changing World
Marshall Reported Ired by Truman's
Politics.Playing With World Situation

Omclal prOFlQeQ powerful propa.
ganda ammunition for the Western
European Communists.
These skillful propagandists were
quick to exploit the situation and
to present Gen. Marshall and his
associates at the United Nations as
warmongers. while the man who is
actually responsible for American
foreign policies is in a mood to
talk rapprochement with the Krem-
lin. President Truman, so the
propaganda goes, is the prisoner OF
the generals and the "warmongers,' "
like Secretary of Defense ForreStal,
who want to prevent a peaceful
solution of European problems and
seek to unleash a capitalistic war.
President, Truman has the facts
of the present international situa-
ton at his finger tips. Before leav-
ing for Paris, Gen. Marshall had
long conversations with him and
with the members of the National
Security Council, which Is respon-
sible for defense measures on the
basis of our international policies.
There was no disagreement be-
tween them and Gen. Marshall
flew back to Paris convinced that
he had the full confidence of the
Chief Executive, who agreed with
him on every detail of what should
be done at the General Assembly
to obtain an honorable settlement
If that be possible-of the Ber-
lin situation.
Marshall Perplexed.
1t is unfortunate, however, for
the general world situation that
some of Mr.. Truman's principal
advisers on domestic political mat
ters either are thoroughly innocent
Of the general world situation, or
consider it of only secondary i'm
portance In the electoral battle
They convinced him that something
must be done to get the vote of all
those who want peace at any price.
Chief Justice Wilson's projected
mission to Moscow" was the first
rabbit they pulled out Of their hats.
Mr.. Truman, intent on the electoral
campaign. apparently overlooked
the talks he had had with Gen.
Marshall and indorsed this pro-
posal. When Gen. Marshall and
Undersecretary of State Loyett
pointed out the disastrous effects
of such unprecedented action, the
matter was dropped. But the vote
catchers did not give up and at the
first opportunity they persuaded
the Chief Executive to revive the
Vinson idea in a milder manner,
but sufficiently to impress Ameri-
can audiences.
This boomeranged once more and
Gen. Marshall is said to be at q
loss to find ways and means of pre-
venting the White House from con-
tinuing to play domestic politics
with the tense international sit

Millions Of Refugees.
Shanghai's unpleasantness Is
chiefly due to the millions of
refugees who have come into the
place since the civil war started. A
recent census estimated Shanghai's
population at something more than
100000, but it is generally believed
to be fully million more than that.
