President Hoover's appointment of*a ecommission to determine what should be done with the power and nitrate plants at Muscle Shoals will not satis- fy the insurgent Republicans in Con- gress. They stand for only one thing, Government operation. Nevertheless, the President’s commission is one which should have the consideration even of the insurgents. It is representative of the two States which, after all, have the chief interest in the power plant, Alabama and Tennessee. It cares for the farmer’s interest in -the nitrate plant, which may be used for fertilisers, through appointment of Edward “A. O'Neal of Alabama, president of the American Farm Bureau Fed- eration, as & member of the ocom- mission. And the Federal Govern- ‘ment’s’ representatives on the eommis- sion are Col. Harley B. Furgeson, Corps of Engineers, U. 8. A., and Col. Joseph 1. McMullen of the Judge Advocate Gen- eral's Department. Such & commission should be able to come to & conclusion regarding the Government-owned plants and what should be done with them in the interest of the public. ‘When President Hoover vetoed the Norris bill providing for Government operation of the Muscle Shoals plants he suggested the appointment of just such s commission as he has now named. It was his plan, however, to give the commission full powers to go ahead with the development and lease of the power and the nitrate plant. Such power can be granted only by Congress. When the new Congress convenes it may be expected that an- other battle royal will be staged over _these properties of the Government, acquired at the time of the World War. Then it was deemed especially neces- sary to bring about the manufacture of nitrates in great quantities for ‘use as fertilizer and in the manufacture of explosives, since the importation of nitrates had been gravely threatened. ‘The fixation of atmospheric nitrogen through the use of the hydroelectric power seemed to be the way out and Muscle Shoals the place for a Govern- ment plant capable of developing huge power. Ever since the World War Muscle Bhoals has presented a problem. All kinds of offers have been made for it. Interests of various kinds have sought these plants. The proponents of Gov- ernment ownership and operation have raised the spacter of a giant water power trust in their efforts to halt the leasing of the plants by the Gov- ernment to private concerns. ‘The Government expended in the develop- ment of the plants something like $149,000,000. The interests of the pub- lic, therefore, from a financial stand- point must be looked to in any de- cision regarding Muscle Shoals. President Hoover has stood out, as @id former President Coolidge, against having the Government go into the business of generating, and selling power direct to consumers. They looked upon the proposal as just one more move to place the Government in busi- . mess in competition with private citi- wens. So far there has been no indication that the administration is weakening in its opposition to Gov- ernment operation and sale to con- sumers. Efforts are being made in Democratic quarters to raise the water- «i power question as a major issue in the coming national campaign. In the light of all the circumstances, any re- port which the newly appointed com- mission may submit to' the President snd which in turn may be submitted by him to the Congress will be of pes culiar interest. —r——— Equal pay for all workers seemed all right to Soviet Russia until Stalin ob-| served that men could mot or would mot in all cases produce equal work for the same money.

The sbsence heretofore of any such ocer- tainty has been a acandal long known and unremedied.
