Tucked carefully into it by the House is a provco
that none of the money may be spent to develop
hydro-electrc power, for the power
lines.
This means thing-that the power companies

This kills any chance for the further development
of public power, at least for this year
Montana has quite stake in this limitation
The Tennessee valley and the Pacific Northwest
are centers of big developments in public power in
recent They also centers rapid industrial
progress since Hitler marched into Poland
Industry developed in these because of the
presence of plenty of power. In fact power was one
of the big factors in atomic energy, that
the two main plants-Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and Han
ford Washngton-were built in these areas.
Out here in Montana wish to sound industrial
development. We wish to materials proc
essed here in many instead of shipping them
back east and then paying freight again to get the
product back.
We need abundance of power in Montana if we

the Society of Natives to become a

emphasizing the general welfare,

He reminded the gathering that
"the eyes of the country and the
entire world are fastened on this
locality"
How the citizens of the District
succeed or fail in the practice of
democracy is important, because,
where all roads once led to Rome,
they now lead to Washington, "
Judge Laws declared.
He called for renewed emphasis
on patriotism, "once the most pop

men and the man in the street. "
He said that such stress today is
more important than any other in
the cold war between the two prin-
cipal ideologies of the world.
Native Washingtonians have the
great heritage of strong past, and
the promise of our youth, he said
1T is up to this generation of citi-
