LUCAS AND DR. E.R. GRIMING SPEAKON POWER Speakers Contend Over Rela tions of Public and Company, Regulation and Control. J. P. Lucas, presenting the power company's , view of the power situation, and Dr. Ern est Gruening, presenting the idea of government ownership of utilities, lectured Thursday night on "Power." Lucas pre sented the speech prepared by W. S. Lee for this lecture be cause of the inability of Lee to be in ChapeKHill. Mr. Lee through the medium of Mr. Lu cas, stated that the municipal government of New York was unable to give power to the citi zens of the city of New York as cheaply as the power companies were able to do it and that the interests of the power com panies and their customers are identical, i. e., ,the power com panies must deliver power to the customers as cheaply as pos sible so that there may be a maximum consumption. Dr. Gruening said that the interests of the power companies and their customers are far- from identical and that the power companies have given more thought to propoganda than they have to the manufacture of power.

Gruening States Public Opinion Favors Government Ownership - 0 Recent Insull Debacle Has Altered Thoughts of People So That They Now Realize Importance of Power Issue and Pub- , lie Control of Utilities, Says Authority. o- The cataclysmic crash of the in campaign designed to give vast power interests of Samuel Insull has definitely aided in directing public opinion against private ownership of public util ities. In the opinion of Dr. Ern est Gruening, associate editor of the Nation and an authority on the power question, expressed yesterday in an interview with a member of the Daily Tar Heel staff, the tens of thous ands who were victimized by the 1 selfish machinations of the Chi- i power magnate nave ueen convinced of the inadvisability of private ownership. "Before the Insull debacle," declared Dr. Gruening, "the ad vocates of public ownership were voices crying in the wild erness. We were branded Bol sheviki and what-not. All that has changed now. The public realizes the importance of the power issue and has proven it self amenable to the attack on private control." Private Owners on Defensive The power companies are at present on the defensive, he be lieves. Public opinion has been crystallized against them by the suffering and resentment caused by the Insull failures in thirty two states While the demand is not everywhere for public ownership, the necessity for ef ficient governmental regulation is widely realized. "This regulation," declared Dr. Gruening, "is doubtless com ing under the Roosevelt admin istration. The president-elect has shown himself favorably dis posed toward it and has given ear to the theories of Senator George Norris." Norris has for the last ten years been engaged ACTIVITIES GROUP PLANS TO DISCUSS STAFFMCTIONS Date for Meeting of Discussion Group Set for February 7, In Graham Memorial. With the Buccaneer proposal to turn the selection of editors of the different publications over to the staff instead of the pres ent form of jopular election list ed as the chief topic for consid eration, the Student Activities Committee will meet at a ban quet in Graham Memorial at 7 :00 o'clock p. m., February 7, according to plans announced yesterday by Haywood Weeks, president of the student body. The meeting will take the form of a joint fall and winter quarter meeting. The gather ing in the fall was postponed be cause of the nearness of the date set to examinations, and that meeting has been combined with the regular winter quarter meet-, ing. Staff Elections Proposed The proposal to allow staffs of the different publications to elect their own editors instead of the present form of popular vote has provoked much discus sion on the campus since it was sponsored by the Buccaneer two weeks ago. The Daily Tar Heel and Carolina Magazine staffs have also voted in favor of the plan. If the Activities Committee favors the proposal, it will re- (Continued on last page) the federal government more di rect supervision of the power in dustry. Public Ownership Solution Despite this outlook, it is the belief of Dr. Gruening that the sole solution to the problem of excessive rates and profits upon the part of the power interests is absolute government owner ship. "Until a year and a half ago," he explained, "I believed that regulation was sufficient. Careful inspection has taught me that the power people are financially too strong to be sub jected to regulation." As an example of the growing opposition to private ownership, the expert cited the changing at titude toward the publication of the report of the Federal Trade Commission. When this informa tion, revealing the inequality and exploitation in the power indus try, was published four years ago it attracted little or no at tention. To-day it is being read and discussed nationally as a most conclusive argument against the continuance of in dividual control. "This report, the Insull fail ure, and general conditions," said Dr. Gruening in conclusion, "have had their effect on public opinion. Since InsulFs operat ing companies remained in good shape they were taken over by interests subsidiary to those of J. P. Morgan. At the time many felt that public ownership would have been a much more equit able disposition. From every angle, the advocates of state con trol view the Insull fall as one of their most effective weapons against private ownership." J
