Our plans for next winter included &C.
coping additional gas space heotng
equal to half of the new homes to be
constructed this yeor and an equal num-
Der Of homes heotine with other fuels to
be converted to gas heotine. This action
wos provided by the permissive order Of
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.
Our ability TO handle this additional heat
ing was based upon estimates thot our
gas supply by February /, l949 would be
such that we could meet the demands Of
zero dqy with gross shortage of 68
million cubic feet of gas. industrial cur
toilment would have offset much Of this
shortage.
From information we have received
most recently. we face possible short
age of gas on q zero day next winter of
IS million cubic feet, without accepting
any additional Jobs for gas space heotins.
This figure is considerably beyond the VOL
ume that industry con be curtoed.
We have contract with the Panhandle
Eastern Pipeline Company for so million
cubic feet of gas per doy. Of this gas.
Is million doy was sub iect to concello-
ton upon approval of the Federal Power
Commission. After lengthy hearings, the
Federol Power Commission denied Pom
handle the right Of cancellation bus we =,
have been receiving only rs million cubic
feet doy from this source. To furnish the
additional Is million cubic feet oworded
by the Federal Power Commission, Pan
handle claims that its customers in other
oreos must be curtoed. This matter now
is being heord by the FPC. and, until it
is determined. this omovnt Of eos is vn-
certain.
The United Fuel Gas Company, an offiIi-
oted property of Columbia Cos System,
is one of our chief out-of-stote sources Of
gas. United, in turn. receives much Of its
gas from Texas through the Tennessee Cos
Transmission Corporation. Lost winter
United Fuel Cos received about l80 mil
lion cubic feet Of gas doy from the
Tennessee lines. Delivery schedules coIled
for this omount increasing TO $50 million by
Deeembet !. l948. A few doys ago

Columbia System was notified thot US
million wos the most that could be deiiv-
cred, due to delays in receiving steel pipe
needed to handle all the gas promised.
The United Fuel Cos Company has been
forced to make proportionote cuts in de-
livery to US os result of this.
The Ohio Fuel Cos Company has cor,-
trocted for approximately half of The gas
that can be furnished by the Inch" lines.
Approximately one-holf of any diversions
from this source is taken from US. For
about yeor The Federal Power Commits
sion has ollocoted to other areas, 20 mil
lion cubic feet of gas doy from these
lines, which reduces daily deliveries to US
by 10 million cubic feet Restoration of
this 10 million delivery to US is uncertain.
-
Yes, lots more gas wos contracted for
next winter, but oddine up the cuts and
uncertainties we still arrive ot shortage
Of IS million cubic feet of gas on doy
OF zero temperature without accepting any
additional space heoting
Meanwhile. much Of the gas from these
described sources which was counted up
on for underground storage this summer.
to be drown upon next winter, will not be
ovoiIobIe.
Our representatives have
worked eeoseIessly in hearings
before the Federal Power Com
mission end will continue to try
to protect fhe gas we have con-
frueted for the use of our eusto-
mers. Numerous attempts have
been made even to help our sup
pliers find steel pipe.
We regret deeply the eondi-
fions which neeessifated withhold
ing the applications for space
heating filed with US during April.
When future conditions permit an
easing Of restrictions, these oppIi-
cations will be given first eonsid-
Grafton. This offers little hope for
next heating season because II is
unlikely we can cut through the
many, present uncertainties before
winter.

Secretary Marshall and Senator
Vandenberg, in their advocacy of the
Marshall plan, apparently, assume
that the trouble with western Europe
is that the war destroyed so much in
the way of factories, mines, and trans
portation systems, that these coun-
tries are unable to support themselves
and thus have become a prey to Com
munistic agitation.
In my judgment, this is a super
fetal view. The trouble goes much
deeper. Some years ago, President
Melby of the Montana State Univer-
sity said that we had the two world
wars because the world was sick.
The world is still very sick. That
is why we have so much trouble in
bringing peace to the world.
This is especially true of western
Europe, the evidence, I think, show
that since the turn of the century, the
economies of these countries have
been deteriorating.
Britain is a good example. In the
early years of the century she had
developed chronic unemployment and
had to resort to the dole. The same
situation continued after the first
World war and she had to devalue
her currency in order to keep her
economy stable. We now find her
economy in very bad shape. In the
last two years she has used up the
A Of nj
has almost depleted her gold supply.
She is now spending some thing over
"a billions a year on her military
establishment, mostly to maintain
overseas commitments. She has some
thing over million men in the army
and is using about half a million civil
lians in army employment. She con-
tinues to maintain a system of land
lordism with tenant farming, which
does not make for efficiency. She
still persists in keeping an expensive
monarchy and pays out huge sums of
money to princes and princesses. Also
supports a lot of lords and ladies.
And of course their profit system
enables the large industrialists to ex-
tract huge incomes from the economy.
Now, under present world conditions,
Britain just can't afford all this. The
question is Can we afford to put
enough money into this bankrupt sys-
tenn to keep it going? The situation
in France is very similar. She has a
civil war on her hands in Indo-China. |
Last year she had civil war in Mad
agascar. More trouble for her is
in Africa.

The situation in Italy is even worse
Last year, in an article in the Mon
tana Farmer, it was stated that the
average peasant in Italy farmed about
three acres of poor land for which he
paid a rental of one half of all he
produced and that the landlord in
most cases, lived in villa by the
sea.
Is it any wonder that Italy is I'M
able to feed her people under such
In my judgment, the Marshall plan
is bound to fail. All we can do is,
to put in enough money to maintain
present conditions and prolong the
agony.

On Tuesday, February IL Hon. Har-
old Stassen, former governor of Min
nesota and Republican presidential

in the Student Union building of

may go far toward broadening the

the scope of political discussion to

it seems that local Democrats are
prepared to insist that no partiality
be shown and that each modest flower
shall be accorded equal privilege and
courtesy and be invited to speak at

Hard upon the heels of this rumor
comes another that the Wallace sup
porters intend to insist upon the same
treatment being accorded the Hon.
H. A. if and when Henry's political
campaign rolls westward into Mon

Faint whisperings are also being
heard that Socialists will adopt
similar procedure and insist that their

may be shall be accorded the right
to speak at the university and be in

little thought to that phase of the
