proved by Congress, to successful
conclusion. They have the ex
perience. engineering knowledge
and familarity with the problems
involved. They can do the job
quicker and more economically
than anyone else. Most signifi
cant, as their spokesman told a
Congressional committee last
sfimmev, they are ready to act
NOW
Notwithstanding these advan
tages, the federal planners are
determined that the project be
come a matter of government.
There are compelling reasons for
rejecting governmental develop
ment, Earl J. Machold. president
of Niagara-Mohawk, recently
stated. “Private enterprise is not
only ready, willing and able, but
better qualified to construct and
operate the project. Congress
should avoid recourse to public
funds and adding to the ever
increasing burdens of the nation.”
• « •
Lot’* see to what extent these
arguments are borne out by the
facts. If previous experience and
performance are a yardstick, the
companies should have no diffi
culties in seeing their long cher
ished dream come true.
Neither is there any reason to
fall for the hoax that only big
government can handle big af
fairs. Quite the contracy is true.
Tackling giant projects is noth
ing new to private enterprise.
In fact, it is their meat. Large
as the estimated cost of $360 mil
lion may seem, it is l little more
than these utilities are spending
annually for new construction. In
1061. for instance, they spent in
excess of $250 million to improve
their production and distribution
facilities.
Obviously, such power expan
sion through private enterprise
would mean new employment and
business opportunities for the
people of New York as well as
savings for the harassed taxpay
er. Last, and most Important
for the preservation of our free
enterprise system. Congressional
authorization to the companies to
proceed at their own risk would
not only bar costly government
experiments but also reaffirm the
traditional pattern of our econ
omy.
Public opinion, speaking through
its various segments, must ex
press itself so forcefully on these
questions that the impact of its
message will be understood in

ROGERS’ ROUTINE
FOR CONGRESS
Twenty-Bve years ago hu
morist Will Rogers said this
was the schedule followed by
Congress an en in taxing people:
MONDAY—
Soak the rich.
TUESDAY—
I , Begin hearing from the rich.
| TUESDAY AFTERNOON—
Decide to give the rich a
chance to get richer.
WEDNESDAY—
Tax Wall Street stock sales.
THR8DAY—
Get word from Wall Street,
“Lay off us or you will get
no campaign contributions ”
THURSDAY AFTERNOON—
Decide “We are wrong about
WaH Street.”
FRIDAY—
Soak the little fellow. .. —
SATURDAY MORNING—
Find out there is no little
fellow. He has been soaked
until he is drowned.
SUNDAY—
Meditate.
As Radio Columnist John
Crosby wrote in the New York
Herald-Tribune when he quoted
Will Rogers recently, the sched
ule "for Congressmen to follow
in levying taxes ... is still ap
plicable.”

WETBACKS HURT
SKILLED TRADES
Neatly every service trade,
skilled craft and industry is being
invaded by “wetbacks,’' Mexican
farm laborers illegally in this
country who are drifting to th®
nation’s industrial centers.
President H. L. Mitchell of the
APL National Farm Labor Union
warned that “one of these days
the well organized trade unions
are going to find in a crisis they
will have large groups of work
ers in plants and trades who can
be used as strikebreakers."
The Farm Union charged that
“wetbacks,” illegal Mexican im
migrants "enticed” over the bord
er to work on Southern farms,
were infiltrating Midwest indus
tries.
Mr. Mitchell said that United
States immigration authorities
had picked up “wetbacks’ in Chi
cago where, he said, they were
working for the Elgin, Joilet and
Eastern Railway Company, in
steel plants owned by the Carne
gie and United States Steel Cor
poration. in meat packing plants
and in the building and construc
tion industry.
“These ‘wetbacks,’” Mr. Mitch
ell said, “are being enticed over
the border by corporation farmers
to work for wages as low as 25
cents an hour. The ‘wetback’
soon finds these wages are not
even enough tb buy a starvation
diet. He hears of high wages in
industry and heads north, east
and west.”
The number of “wetbacks” ap
prehended and deported in Oc
tober, Mr. Mitchell declared, in
cluded Detroit 51, Chicago 18,
Kansas City 16. Seattle 3, San
Francisco 193, San Antonio, 2,
095, El Paso 177 and Los Angeles
304.
