national Office are perfectly

They had anticipated some
tug of war between Mr.. Stassen
and Mr.. Dulles on the issue of
power over foreign spending
even before Mr.. Sawyer piled up
his A-bombs on States side.
In the first place, Congress
had insisted upon a separate
spending agency of the hand
some proportions of ECA and
later MSA over the State De-
partment's dead body. What it
has meant in practical effect is
that this Government had then
both diplomatic and economic
ambassadors. Since the latter
had the money to dole out, it
was not hard to foretell which
would enjoy the greatest kudos
abroad and this has rather
generally happened.
Secretary Of State Acheson,
however, could not win any
battles with Congress which,
unable to persuade or blackmail
Mr.. Truman into firing him,
slipped him every form of
knockout drops they had in
their own arsenal. Secretary
Dulles, presumably, will get a
much greater degree of support
from the next Congress.
Questions of immediate econ
omy and efficiency aside, one
thing must be said for q sepa-
rate agency to do a presumably
temporary job.

Position Of Power User Peri|ed
Private Utilities Hope to Get First Crack at EXPLOITING
Huge HydroeIectric Development on Niagara River

Over in one corner Of our
gprawling government, attracting
little national publicity, is a pro-
ceeding of considerable impor-
lance to consumers of electricity.
1t directly affects New York
and New England. but ulti-
mately can affect adversely
consumers of electricity all over
the Nation, especially if the Or
ganized private utilities are
successful in trying to exploit
what they believe will be a more
favorable climate" in the in
coming Republican administra-
ton.
Involved directly are develop
ment and distribution of hydro
electric power in connection with
the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
Waterway. that vast project
which is to be built by Canada,
alone. since our Senate has re-
peatedly refused to ratify the
treaty for joint development by
the United States and Canada
which was first sponsored by
Republican Presidents in the
1920S.
The power issue is before the
Federal Power Commission in an
application by the New York
Power Authority, a State agency,
to develop electricity at Niagara
as part Of the Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence enterprise. Our Fed
eral Government cannot now
do that as originally planned
and as would be the ordinary
course had joint United States
Canadian development been ap-
proved.
If the Government, itself, had
built the power project and con-
trolled it, then preference would
have been guaranteed to munic-

policy and Federal statutes of

other reasons, the private util.

Doris FIeeson:
Savers Stab at Economic Aid
He Has Done His First Favor for the Democrats:
Loid Groundwork for Republican Family Row

Secretary Of Commerce Saw
yer's sarcastic report that it's
time to end economic help to
Europe except for defense does
everything but fix the exact
date for a fine family row within
the Eisenhower administration
between Harold L. Stassen and
John Foster Dulles. All the
markings are there including a
cheering section on Capitol Hill
where economic aid has always
been unpopular.
Mr.. Stassen is the new head
Of the foreign-spending agency,
Mutual Security, and what Mr..
Sawyer has done to MSA in his
report shouldn't happen even to
Checkers. The Commerce head
lashes it for past sins. says its
present is terrible and wants to
award its future to the State
Department and other "ortho-
dox sources"
The State Department
couldn't be happier; it has long
said the same thing. Career
officials are certain that their
incoming Secretary, Mr.. Dulles,
agrees with them and will per-
ceive great merit in the Sawyer
ideas.
The question Immediately
occurring to innocent bystand-
ers Is whether Mr.. Stassen,
having at long last become, in
effect. a kings minister, will
consent to preside over the
liquidation Of his empire. Most
people who have watched his
dauntless struggle to achieve

Of rubber will bring nearly four
tons of rice. it is something
really alluring to a rice-eating
country.
Then the United States Gov
eminent stepped in and blocked
the export of refined sulphur to
Ceylon. This article is very vital
to the care Of rubber trees. The
British government objected to
American policy and saw to it
that the Ceylonese got their
sulphur out of the American
supply which had been exported
to Britain. This tragic circum-
vention of American detectives
is not widely known. The British
argued that they were maintain
ing their normal pattern Of ex-
ports, but the United States,
conceding this point, tried to put
direct pressure on Ceylon to
stop rubber exports that were
aiding the Red Chinese to kill
American boys.
Neither Britain nor Malaya
sends any rubber to Red China,
because Of the embargo, but
the British government has
thwarted the American Gov
ernment's efforts to prevent Red
China from getting rubber from
the only source available to it
Ceylon. Military men are dis
mayed by the occurrence.
It is thought here that not
all the rubber obtained by Red
China from Ceylon is going di-
rectly to Korea but that some
of it is being shipped to Soviet
Russia, where most of the
weapons and vehicles for the
Korean war are manufactured.
Approximately $4,000 tons of
rubber are going annually from
British colonies to Soviet Rus
STA under an agreement with
the United States. So, with a
part of the Ceylon quota, the
Soviet now is making substan-
tial additions to her armament
