2-Atomic Power
The program for the new
America must include prompt
development of atomic power as
a major source of low-cost en-
ergy. It does little good to offer
atomic fuel to our friends abroad
and to industry at home if we
cannot provide practical plants
in which this fuel can be used.
1 believe that the Federal Gov
lernment must take the lead in
the development of atomic power
not surrender its rights to pri-
Ivate enterprise the current
policy of leaving development to
private utilities has resulted in
our falling way behind other ma
lions.
With a vigorous program of
Federal demonstration plants,
coupled with the projects of the
utilities. American industry can
move ahead rapidly to develop
llow-cost atomic power, compete
successfully in the world mar
kets, and demonstrate our inter-
national leadership in the peace
full uses of atomic energy. At
home, the American people will
reap more quickly the benefit OF
a great new source of low-cost
energy.
3-Restraint of Monopoly
The Federal power program
has been a curb on private mo-
lnopoly in the all-important field
of the Nations power supply.
/ The Eisenhower administra-
ton has undermined the prefer
lence right of municipalities to
Federal power.
/ Enforcement of the preference
clause and the Public Utility
Holding Act should be the two
keystones of a Federal public
utility policy.

CONCLUSION
This then is our program:

| To reverse the retreat of the
Eisenhower administration in al
most every area of resource pol
icy.
To return to the forward
march of comprehensive multi
purpose developments for our
river basins,
To move forcefully ahead, un-
der Federal leadership. in the
development of atomic power.
To develop more and cheaper
power.
To assure abundant supplies
of low-cost power available to all
consumers.
To bring a long-range forestry
program to assure adequate sup
plies of timber at reasonable
prices.
To continue our irrigation poll
icy.
To expand our recreational ia
cilities to match the expanding
need.
To protect our wildlife.
To renew our program of soil
conservation.
To achieve a we'll rounded min
eral policy program inclusive of
many of the recommendations of
the Paley Commission; notably
to advance research in new ma
terials and to reduce waste, to
pursue trade policies that will
bring us needed materials from
abroad.
In 1908. the Republican Presi-
dent Roosevelt opened America
first conservation conference by
warning that 1.-THE natural re-
sources of our country are in
danger of exhaustion.
1t is time to call another con-
ference, for the last half of this
century-a national conservation
conference for the new America.
+. We will evaluate our whole re-
source problem for the new
America. for. as Theodore Roose-
welt said nearly so years ago
when he announced the calling
of his conference: unless we
solve that problem it will avail
us little to solve all others"

MIN ERALS

Mineral resources are crucial
for both economic expansion and
national security. With a popu-
lation of ISL million in 1850 each
person used, on the average, l8
tons of minerals.
The present administration,
with its big business orientation,
neither understands nor ap-
proves the public interest role
of science and technology in the
natural resources area"
I propose that the Federal
Government organize and sup
port generously a comprehensive
program of scientific research in
this area of chronological de-
velopment of minerals.
The results of such research
should be freely available to all.
Our international economic
policy must insure a steady and
adequate flow of raw materials
from abroad.
The overall effects of such
policies would be to increase
quantity and reduce costs of
foreign supplies; to postpone ex-
hauStion of domestic resources:
to avoid excessive costs of mar
einal subsidized home produc-
ton; and to strengthen both our
own economy and those of other
nations with which we trade.
Since our situation, whether
we like it or not, is one of the
actual dependence on other
countries for some of our most
vital raw materials and minerals.
1t is imperative that the policies
we adopt will make this inter-
dependency mutually adyan-
tageous for all concerned.

building of a new America and
q new world.
have expressed already, in
previous papers in this series.
my deep concern that we pro-
vide for the full development Of
the greatest resource of all. the
talent. skill, and energy Of
human beings.
We need imagination and
energy. also. to make full use Of
the natural resources with which
this favored land has been so
richly blessed. Our soil and water
and forests and minerals. our
great sources of power and areas
of natural beauty, and now the
energy of the sun and the power
of the atom, have been given us
not to squander and destroy. but
to use wisely. to develop, and to
pass on enhanced and multi
piled, to our children's children.
To fulfill this trust we must
have the vision to see. and the
devotion to serve, the great needs
of the future.
BY 1875. there will be perhaps
210 million Americans.
BY 1875. these Americans will
require almost twice the water
we need today.
BY 1875, these Americans will
be consuming 40 per cent more
food than we now consume.
BY 1875, we shall have made
further great drafts on our
minerals.
BY 1875, we Americans will
have more leisure than We do
today. and we will need lands
and forests and streams in which
to hunt and fish and live with
natures restful beauty.
And by that interesting year,

The Democratic administra-
tons of Franklin Roosevelt and
Harry S. Truman met these great

ments of the Tennessee Valley

But this progress has been

lost ground.
The record of the Eisenhower

frightening failure.

Z. THEFAlEURE or
THE EISENHOWER
ADMINISTRATION

The most obvious and dis
tressing evidence of the failure
of the Eisenhower adminiStra-
ton to care for the public good
is its giving away parts of the
public domain to private in
terests: letting great natural
sites for multi-purpose public
projects be exploited for private
gain: repudiating public power
projects: urging legislation that
would transfer private rights in
national forests to a privileged
few: granting mining claims on
public property to private eX-
ploitation, as in the AL Sarena
hoax: allowing Federal wildlife
refugees to be invaded by hun
dreds of oil leases: encouraging
legislation that would dispose Of
timber stands in our national
parks and forests.
Behind this sorry record of
give-aways is a still more de-
vaStating series of acts that
jettison valuable and established
policies. and even abandon the
50-year-old bipartisan conser-
vation policy. The Eisenhower
administration replaced profess
Sionally. trained career leader
ship , of Federal conservation
agencies with unqualified politi-
cal appointees. They appointed
enemies of conservation to key
resource posts, both in action
agencies and regulatory COM
missions. They dismembered
the regional action program of
the Soil Conservation Service.
They attacked the farmer-owned
REA co-operatives and munich
pally-owned utilities. They hit
the IVA by reducing its appro-
priation and by trying to under
cut 1t in the devious Dixon-Y
affair
This businessman's admins
tration failed to provide-for
our country-the same prudent
planning for tomorrow's needs
that any competent business
would inevitably provide for it.
self. The Eisenhower admins
tration abolished the National
Security Resources Board, and
did not create any agency that
would do what it had done. that
Is, to make continuing and sys-
tematic surveys of our Nation S
resource needs. The administra-
ton almost completely ignored
the excellent report made by
the partisan Materials Pol
icy Commission, headed by Will

ministratiQn's acts even fly di-
rectly in ahe face Of the careful

THE FRAMEWORK
OF A NEW
RESOURCES POLICY

We shall continue the proven
policy Of the past: The great
American tradition of conserva-
ton, in which the names of a
Republican Roosevelt and a
Democratic Roosevelt stand side
by side. From the time of Gift
ford Pinchot to the present day
the foresight and the wisdom of
conservation leaders have served
us well. We must not allow I'M
thinking and irresponsible men
to betray that noble heritage :.
We must, for example, have a
new, and broader, conservation
policy
A. Federal leadership.
The first principle Of our
policy will be a vigorous re-
affirmation of the important
responsibilities of the Federal
Government for the Nations
resources. The planning, con-
struction and operation of COM
Iprehensive resource programs is
"a proper and legal. as well as
a most necessary, function Of
the Federal Government.
| From an economic and en-
cheering point of view the Fed
leral Government can and should
assume the leadership in the
task of Harvesting our inter-
state river system for power,
flood control, navigation. water
supply irrigation. recreation,
pollution control and for nurtur-
ing fish and wildlife.
b. Comprehensive policy.
The new national, conserva-
ton policy must acknowledge
the rule that nature herself
provides: The organic unity OF
the seamless web Of land, water,
minerals. energy. -.
c. New investment.
| We must increase the invest
ment in our natural resources.
1t is folly to cut these invest
ments. Yet President Essen
hover reduced them by 2O-30
per cent even as the Nation S
income rose by 20 per cent. At
the very least our investment in
natural resources should match
our growth of national in
come.

a revolution in farm Technology
which has made the efforts Of
the man on the land more pro-
ductive. But the gains we have
made are oyershadowed by a
paradoxical situation want in
the midst Of plenty. There
should be no problem as long
as great numbers of people in
the world today are UNDER
nourished
The existence Of these So
called SURPRISES tends to hide
that which we cannot forget
Our population and the popula-
ton of the world continues to-
increase. We can support a
larger population in the United
States on the current level of
diet if we can continue to make,
the same kind Of gains in agri-
culture technology in the future
that we have made in the past.
IContinued progress along these
lines will help to offset the loss
of land to non-farm uses. This
loss has reached an annual total
of more than one million acres
and will probably increase in
the future
Soil conservation efforts have
suffered setback at the hands
of this administration
C. Irrigation
In the West. irrigation of arid
lands has produced new econ
omy, where before there was only
barren Sagebrush. Irrigation will
play an increasingly important
part in aiding the Nation to pro-
duce an adequate supply of food
and fibre.
For so years the Federal Gov
Iernment has pursued a bipartisan
policy of treating irrigation and
power as partners in the develop
ment of the West. The future of
irrigation in the West depends
upon the continuation of this
policy which is being effectively
blocked by the Eisenhower adj
ministration giving away of pow
er sites
Wherever practicable we
should adopt the principle of
basin-wide pooled accounting as
a logical extension of the Ma
TONS 50-year-old reclamation
policy
d. WiIdlife and Recreation
The overwhelming proportion
of public lands are available for
outdoor recreation, but an accel-
Grated access and facilities pro-
gram is essential for their full
enjoyment. The needs are sub
stantial and growing :.
Every year more people will be
seeking to use these facilities.
Even the present overcrowding
is so serious that the problem Isl
not only how many more people
can be accommodated but
whether present numbers will
ruin the facilities that now
exist =.
The administration has prided
itself on its Mission Sc program,
"a 10-year. $785 million plan Tor
our national parks. But this
program is long on propaganda
and short on action.

Ill
WATER AND POWER

/, The new America must have
strong material underpinning
Foremost among the require
ments are increasing supplies Of
water and energy-particularly
electric power.
| Comprehensive development OF
our river-basins will provide the
maximum I available supplies OF
both water and hydro-electric
power -.
A. Water
Of all of the Nations resource
problems, those relating to water
are most critical and inn
mediate.
In many areas the pinch of
inadequate water supply is al
ready sharp. :.
There are no easy solutions to
the complicated problems of as
surfing ample supplies of water
for the new America. But it is
clear that the problems can be
solved by full cooperation OF
local governments, Joint water
districts. industrial water users
and the Federal Government.
b. Power
The new America will require
Ilow-cost power in quantities I'M
dreamed of 25 years ago. To
sustain its expanding activities
our electric utilities, public, pri-
lvate and cooperative, must pro-
vide 800 million kilowatts of
generating capacity by 1870 and
600 million by 1880 -.
1. A Power Program
The Federal Government,
working with State and local
governments. and with private
and cooperative power agen-
cies, in a true regional partner
ship, can achieve adequate
power at low rates
The New Deal power program
has been Of great benefit to the
American people and must con-
ltinue. But we must go forward.
Building on the proven policies
Iof the past, we can devise a
policy under which Federal
lriver-basin systems. privately
owned power companies. Federal
and private atomic plants, State
and municipal electric systems,
and rural electric co-operatives
can cooperate in assuring an
abundance of the lowest-cost
electricity
/. This step forward would in
'clude:
The expediting of Federal de-
'velopment of hydro-electric
power through comprehensive
river-basin progress;
Continued expansion of iva
power supply, including steam
generation;
Federal construction of large
demonstration atomic power
plants;
A continuance of the prefer
ence to public bodies and CO.
operatives in the marketing Of
power from Federal projects:
legislation providing for au-
thorization and regulation OF
regional wholesale power tools,
