THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1951 20 YEARS AGO NOVEMBER 24, PAGE FOUR Daily Alaska Empire ery evening except Sunday by the YAPIRE PRIN NY Maiz, Streets, Sutios compared with the rest of the world, electric power is both plentiful and cheap, and that the private power industry was delivering a wholly adequate response to our expanding private and industrial need long before the principle of a river-valley authority was forced into bloom in the hothouse of New Deal Washington. We know what we had before ¢ne Government stepped in. More than that, both you and I are smart enough to recognize the trumpet plant of Socialism when we see it. For such, no more and no less, is the power setup proposed by the Administration. By using the tax resources of government to compete overwhelm- ingly with private industry, the Social Planners con- stitute themselves a living people—in whose name the plant is grown for the flower but, in doing so, they also fall in and are swallowed up Having followed the march of Socialism elsewhere in the world, you and I knn\‘ that this is true. We recall, for example, that in nd, power was the third industry to be nationalized — lock, stock and barrel. We also recall the tender approval of the Ten- nessee Valley Authority ‘genuinely socialistic act” voiced some years ago by Norman Thomas, the Socialist Party’s perennial candidate for President. And with growing concern have come to realize that if Thomas himself never to Washington, except for the ride, much of his public philosophy has nevertheless managed to reach the Capital in the baggage of his political betters and today graces the blueprints the Planners are at relentless pains to sell to the nation at large.

The obvious need for water conservation and irrigation brought all the larger river valleys of the country into sharp focus.
