around the world"
"It is a long road back to that
position OF prestige and good
will" America held abroad when
the G. o. P. first took over from
the Democrats 18 months ago,
he said in a speech prepared for
o Democratic political rally.
But if we are to survive" he
said. "the people of the United
States must make up the ground
we have lost"
The Tennessee Senator. a
candidate for his party's. Presi-

that foreign policy would not
be an issue in this campaign, :"

Instead, we shall continue to
advance in a spirit of helpful
ness to localities. and in a spirit
Of cooperation with local
citizens.
Where local enterprise can
shoulder the burden, it will be
encouraged and supported in
doing so.
But where local action cannot
or should not fully meet the
need. we shall have Federal
! action.
In this way, our people, In
their communities and homes
! throughout America, shall re-
serve to themselves as many
basic decisions as possible. In
this way. our people will remain
free to carve out their destinies
as their predecessors did. 1t was
in this spirit that those who pre-
ceded you in the great North
west. in only a century and a
half, turned an unsettled wilder
ness into an inland empire-an
empire vastly enriched by this
gigantic structure which today
we so proudly name the Nc
Nary Dam.
Fellow citizens, we have talked
today especially of power and
water and this great new dam
But it is well that we remind
ourselves that these are but part
of a commonly held objective
which transcends all partisan
and sectional considerations.
That objective is that this Re-
public shall in every way grow
ever stronger and more secure
that it may remain at peace in
a world freed of the threat of
atomic war. We want our Amer
lea to have an ever-growing,
vigorous economy. We want
every citizen to prosper and ad-
vance-with freedoms which
daily shine brighter in each COM
munity of our land. We shall
continue to build the moral and
intellectual strength to assure
ourselves and our children of an
always-f1ner tomorrow
Government as Partner.
Toward that stronger and bet
ter America, my friends, know
that you will continue to go for
ward. as self-reliant, courageous
descendants of God-fearing pio-
neers. fortified by your faith in
yourselves and in your country.
AS you travel that wonderful
road, trust that you will have
full confidence, every step of the
way, that your Federal Govern
ment strides beside you as your
true partner! May you always
be sure that this administration
is ready to help where necessary,
even eager, as your servant, to
make the way easier for you and
for all. But it will never be will
ing to assume over you a domi-
nation that will rob you of your
greatest heritage-your indivi-
dual liberty and your maximum
control over your personal, fam
lily and local concerns.
That. my friends, Is the kind
of government, the kind of
America, of which your children
and mine will be as proud as
we are of our country today.

Kefouver Says 10. P. Policy
Damages u. S. Prestige Abroad

Republicans took Office, he said,
Americas prestige and moral
and spiritual leadership have
dropped to all time lows"
In the last six months, he ad-
ded, "a great part of Indo-China
with teeming millions of people
has been surrendered to Com
munist forces. and serious pres
sures have been set up else
where in the Far East -.
"We have seen the European

would have created an interna-
tional army against communism.
come to naught. We have
experienced a deterioration in
our relations with many of our
oldest and best allies"
Cites Nixon Claim.
Senator Kefauver said all this
has come about since Vice Pres
ident Nixon in a speech last
spring declared that under the
Republicans the Communists had
made no gains anywhere in the
world"
Senator Kefauver said United
States foreign relations are 'be-
set by three other factors" which
he identified as operating COM
pletely or in large part through
the Republican Party.
He named them as "a NC
Carthyism," (2) THAT sinister
group which seems to be working
as hard as 1t can to get the
United States into q full-scale

All power projects must be IL
/ censed by the Federal Power
/ Commission. Before the commits
sion grants a license, it must see
| evidence that the project makes
maximum use of the developed
resources. It makes no difference
who builds the projects Federal
State, municipal, or private
agencies. These requirements
apply-regardless.
We should also get this straight
in our minds: When a project
is licensed to a non Federal au-
thority, it is not removed from
Federal control. Rates and serv-
ices remain under Federal reg
ulation. And when the licensing
period ends. the site can be
assumed by the Federal Govern
ment.
I happen to hold this convic-
I'tion: That, here in the North
west, your own public agencies
and your own private companies
operating under both Federal
regulation and your own eagle
eyes out here-can work in the
public interest at least as well
as some far-of Federal agency
They ought to do better.
At this moment there are good
reports on your regional efforts
to work out your own problems
through the Governors Power
Policy Committee. Cows. Lang
lie. Patterson, Jordan and Aron-
son are doing excellent work in
assuring this area of adequate
supplies of power. More bene-
fits will flow from efforts to fur
ther interstate cooperation on
problems that cross the borders
of the Northwestern States.
Northwest Power Pool.
I am especially happy that
the power produced by this great
new dam will contribute to the
finest type of cooperative effort
your own Northwest power
pool. This arrangement is an
admirable model of voluntary
pooling of public and private
generating and transmission
facilities. Because of it, YOU
citizens of the Northwest have
hundreds of thousands of kilo-
watts of additional prime power
| that would not exist through
independent operation Of your
various utilities. In addition you
have it under your own control
not under the permission of a
far-off Washington officeholder
This is a splendid partnership
the kind that the administration
will continue to encourage. I
might add that this partnership
concept has been most ably ad-
vanced by your Republican Cele-
CATION in the Congress, led by
Senator Gordon. \
Shall Avoid Expenses.
My friends, in all of those
things that I have mentioned,
your goal and the goal of your
Government are exactly the
same: To assure each citizen of
enough kilowatts, when he wants
them, where he wants them, at
the lowest competitive cost
with the least likelihood of
bureaucratic domination from
Washington, D. G.
In this effort, we shall avoid
extremes. We shall neither with

water. their food, their housing
and their transportation.
To attempt such a centraliza-
ton Of authority and RESPONSE
bility always starts a deadly
cycle.
Parenthetically, may remark
that a region which lets itself
become completely dependent
upon national funds provided by
a CongresS-which Congress rep
resents not that region alone but
the whole Nation-frequently
finds that the funds fail to keep
pace with local needs. But the
important thing is that as Fed
eral power expands in region,
local enterprise becomes in
creasingly intimidated and dis
couraged. even though the needs
for energy continue to grow.
Thus still more Federal inter-
vention becomes necessary, such
a conversion of local regions into
Federal satellites poses a threat
deadly to our liberties. The ad-
ministration in Washington
and the present leadership in
Congress-are unalterably op-
posed to such malignant growth
Of bureaucracy.
Spiritual Values Cited.
In our devotion to conserva-
ton let us not forget that there
are spiritual, as well as physical,
values to protect. Above all else,
we must preserve the freedom
and the spirit of independence of
our people in our States and
counties, and in our cities and
towns. Determination to have
this freedom gave us this Ma :
ton. It brought your ancestors
to this Western country. That
determination is the surest pro-
tector of our liberties and the
principal ingredient in our ma
tional prosperity.
Yet, there are some who con-
tend that the development and
distribution of hydro-electric
power is exclusively that respon-
sibility of the Federal Govern
ment. They argue that to per-
NIT any State or local govern
ment or any private company
under governmental regulation
to develop such power capacity
Is to give a special group an as
set belonging to all the Nation
Indeed, in some instances, these
enthusiastic disciples of central
lied responsibility and authority
insist that since the Federal
Government should provide all
hydro-electric power, it should
eliminate competition by pro-
viding steam electric power as
well.
Only thus, these zealots would
have us believe, can we poor cit
izens be protected against ex-
ploitation by what they call the
predatory" exponents of capi-
talism--that is, free enterprise.
Now, let's have a quick look at
this matter.
Arguments for Capitalization.
In the first place it is, of
course. not difficult to be gener-
Gus with some one else's money.
So the individual who wants to
build power dams only with Fed
eral money is not directly or
particularly concerned with the
economic necessity Of the prof.
ect or with the suitability Of It's

Gates of centralized government
