DWIIHAt Washington—As the 1956 Presi dential and Congressional elections approach you can be sure that the advocates of public power will in- j tensify their attacks on the private enterprise system. Already their campaign is pierc- j ing the stratosphere of sound and fury . . . and is gaining altitude’ and momentum. In this situation it is encourag ing to report that some of the de fenders of the private enterprise system are not idle. They are ex plaining the real situation. For example, th e only regions in the United States where power re serves are below normal anil where public power shortages are impend fcg are the Pacific Northwest and the Tennessee Valley. These are the regions, of course, in which the Federal Government has been the' dominating figure for the last) Quarter of a century. The frantic efforts of the public power advocates for a Federal mo nopoly of hydroelectric power pro duction havp thwarted or delayed the attempts of private enterprise to meet the power needs. But Federal development of pow er requires money . . . and Con-1 gress, which represents all of tlie people of the United States, has 1 been reluctant to appropriate the amount that would be necessary if the power needs of these regions | were to be met by the Federal Gov ernment. During the last ten years, the ] Pacific Northwest has had approxi-) matelv tO'r of all of the money that has been appropriated by.Con- [ cress for hydroelectric develop-; ment throughout th e entire United j States. This means that the peo- j pie of the other forty-four states \ have paid taxes to help provide hy droelectric power for this four .“ote area. It is estimated that approximate-: ly ,$,000,000,000 will be required in ; the next ten years to provide an adequate power supply for the Pa- | cific Northwest. This is an aver age of $300,000,000 a year. Con- 1 gressional appropriations for the last ten years, however, have av- j eraged about $150,000,000 a year— or half th e amount that will be re-; quired in the next ten years, As for the Tennessee Valley, j funds have been sought for almost ten years to continue the Tennessee | Valley Authority expansion of j gteam power plants—but even Democratic Congresses have refus- 1 ed to appropriate the amount | Urged. Even so, more than 60 r ? of the power produced by the TVA is now' produced by steam. It is estimat ed that seven years would be re quired for Federal construction of the desired projects if the money were available. But this question is being asked • wn«S*^WV» | RALPH e’pARRISH, Inc. I fl 409 S. Broad St. PHONE 178 Edenton, N. C. I more and more frequently; Why should the Federal Government j continue to build steam plants With taxpayers’ money for the benefit of | the people of the Tennessee Valley! . . . and, if so, why shouldn’t it do the same for every other area in ths United States? As for the charge by public pow er advocates that any other meth -1 od of producing power is a “give away”, an effective reply is provid ’ed by Clarence A, Davis, Under ' Secretary of the Interior, Refer ! ring to public power advocates in j the Pacific Northwest, he said: ( “I feel their progam Is the great est ’give-away’ that has been pro posed in this generation. They propose to give away from this region the right to control its own economic destiny. They prefer to) keep this region and all of its in habitants standing with hat in hand, asking political favor ami pleading for appropriations from an. all-powerful government in Washington. ’’They plan to give away any chance of the children of the t Northwest to be able to develop | their own resources, to map out their own destiny, to establish their own homes and to lead their own lives, because they expect.to main-’ tain a complete federalization of the electric power, the water, and therefore, indirectly, the land of this region.
