Apparently the Rural Electrifi-
cation Administration has devel-
oped into a political holding comp
any for the purpose of loaning
money to local Co-ops, in order to
carry on tax-subsidiZed, Federally
financed electric projects which
were never contemplated in the
original REA Act. For some time
it has been evident that the REA
is no longer satisfied to help get
electricity to farmers not other
wise served. It is going out to
duplicate the lines of private
companies under the current Fed
eral program which seems deter
mined to socialize the electric in
dustry of the United States.
One of the latest examples is
presented in an advertisement in
the New York Times by the
South Carolina Electric and Gas
Company. The president of that
company says the REA in Wash
ington has approved a loan of ST.
595,500 to a Coop holding comp
any composed of IA local Co-ops
for the construction of transmits
sion lines to parallel existing lines.
The Santee-Cooper project, an
other Federally financed electrical
enterprise, will furnish the power
and maintain the system. Alto
gether 100000 will be spent and
not bring electric service to a
single additional rural home in
South Carolina, according to the
presidents statement. 1t will be a
tax-subsidized project which will
help injure an existing enter
prise owned by 10000 citizens,
now furnishing electricity to the
Co-ops involved.
The president of the South
Carolina Power Co. presents his
statement in a New York paper
