Whot If The Shoe Were On The Other Foot?

There has been mounting criticism
throughout the country over the
method of financing electric coopera-
tives by the Rural Electrification Ad-
ministration. They are loaned money
at two percent.
The fact that government money is
tax money brought out hOwls of pro-
test from several quarters, since the
government must pay about four per-
cent on it's borrowings.
A bill has been introduced i'm the
U. 5. Senate that would raise REA
interest rates to at least the rate that
the government must pay. 1t would
also have the REA add an additional
one half OF one percent to cover ad-
mlnlStrative expenses.
This would seem to be an almost
patriotic effort to clean up the opera
tlons OF this government agency, and
we doubt the Co-Ops would mind the
higher rates on future loans.
But, we wonder why no one has
attempted to do anything about such
agencies as the Social Security Com
mission, which pours 40 percent of
It's income into administrative costs.
Could there be Il cartel afoot? If
so, there is also a fairly good chance
that there is some expensive under
the-table lobbying going on.
This possibility, however, has not
been noticed.
And as in all things, newspapers
have lined up on both sides. Joe Par
ham of the Macon, Georgia, Tele-
graph and News has been credited
with writing, THE u. S. Treasury
borrows money at the going rate of
tour percent plus and lends it to REA
at two percent. Result: you and and

Through his wisdom. his taste

Du Point Sees
Sales Gain

CLEVELAND (AP). - The
Cleveland Society of Security
Analysts was told yesterday
that original sales forecasts of
the Du Pont Co. for 1868 have
been revised upward.
Rolltn F. Conway, assistant
to the treasurer Of the chemi-
cal firm, said the company first
expected that sales and profits
this year would be about the
same as in 1862, but it now
appears that sales will rise
about 5 per cent while operat-
ing profits will be about the
same.
The 1868 sales are expected
to run slightly over SIS billion,
he said, with general increases
in all product lines.
Total earnings will be de-
termined not only by the Gen.
eral Motors dividends, but also
by the timing in making ad-
ditional Investments Of our
General Motors stock" Mr.
Conway said.
Principal factors holdin g
back earnings, he said, are
prices; higher taxes, particu-
larry overseas; reduction In
patent royalties and start-up
costs.
