The conspicuous fact about the foreign policy of the United States today is the long-standing tradition against entangling alliances, which makes it impossible for ‘his country to enter into any treaty, either de- i nsive, that carries with it obligations to other powers that might, future years, lead us into war. In the entire world there is no natior as wealthy as the United States and none that offers as rich booty to freebooting ex- peditions. With most of the world’s guld, with large sums owed us by foreign govern- ments and peoples and possessing untold ; natural resources the United States prize to excite the cupidity of might. [ therefore, our business to see that the fr cannot be picked with impunity. For the reasons stated above it is al- most necessary for the United States to arm itself to stand alone in the modern world. We must be able to defend our own from attack and to accomplish this purpose we must have so} ssible It requir “fitch nd 64M toxic the sources of danger or to foresee sibility of & cob¥fnation against th States. ~ The @@ning of Communist pack by! Germany, and Japan, has altered the foreign policies of practically every nation in the world because intelli- gent officials know that the blasts agamst Communism are diversions to divert atcen- tion from the main drive, the acquisition by force of what these three nations desire. Under the circumstances the people of the Unitéd States must decide whether they prefer an alliance with like-minded people or a navy capable of making proper defense of our country against any likely combina- tion of attackers. That an alliance with Great Britain, for example, would permit both nations io save money on naval expenditures is plain but it is also quite likely to lead one or both in.a war not of direct concern. It may be the part of wisdom to continue along our individual path, spend the money reason- ably necessary for adequate defense and uit thus escape the greater expense that would i be ours if we became embroiled in Eng- | land’s wars. On the other hand, we should consider the possibility of becoming engaged in a war that, at the beginning, would not in- clude the United States. This is exactly what happened in the World war. If this is to happen again then our adoption of a “lone-wolf” policy would be unnecessarily expensive, perhaps and we could save mon- ey by making common cause with demo- eratic nations. The other possibility to be considered is the chance of peace that always exists in the midst of troublesome and perplexing internation problems. It is just possible that the nations of the world will not fight, even ifjat this time the probabilily se slim.

In turn, each of these groups must trust in and co-operate with government and with each other. . : “If one group is not adequately com- pensated and protected, the others sooner or later will suffer. Business cannot per at the cost labor. Labor prosper by destroying business.” The above, from Governor Herbert Lehman’s first message to the 1938 New York Legislature sounds, we think. a far better Democratic keynote for the present time than all the Jackson-Ickes fulmina- tions. against ‘aristocratic anarchists” and big Gevernor Let 1's Message for the nation as well as the State of New York. business, the pros- of canr business.” i THE KEY WEST CIMze> 'FIRST AID-STATION You and Your Nation’s Affairs Fear Short-Circuits | Utilities By ELIOT JONES Professor of Transportation and Public Utilities, The Public Works Administration, which has been carrying on a vast program as a means of creating em- ployment, made a number of outright Stanford University Granting that the decision of the Court is favorable to the TVA also, there will still remain the fundamen- tal economic question involved: gifts of money | should the Federal Government, sup- to municipali-| ported by the taxpayers’ money, en- ties and other} gage in competition with private agencies to as-/ utilities, and should it make gifts of sist them in fi-]} money to municipalities (or other | pete with a municipali! jiram the courts in @ number of cases ,| Sidize municipal competition. with, nancing the construction of public utility plants and fa- cilities. The grants amount- ed to 45% of the cost of the labor and ma- terials employ- ed on the pro- ject. Obviously they had the effect of en- couraging the municipalities to enter into direct competition with the private utilities that had theretofore supplied the service. The private utilities naturally re- garded this competition as unfair, as they could hardly hope to com- if the lat- ter were relieved of nearly half of its capital cost through a government grant; and accordingly they obtained; ps agains the grants. ions recently rendered the Court hag upheld the right Federal Government to make mis, and the right of the Sipalities' to receive the money. The court decisions voided the in- junctions, and made it possible for competitive construction and dupli- cation of facilities to proceed. The legal right of the Federal Government to give away money in encouragement of competition in the public utility field has thus been established. And ere long there will be another decision by the Supreme} Court, disposing of the question of} the constitutionality of the TVA and its power program. i sub-divisions of the state) to encour- age them to do the same? The issue, of course. is not whether public ownership is superior to this highly controversial topic, some favor public ownership, whether federal, state, or municipal, and some favor private ownership. If pub- lic ownership be regarded as superior —and no doubt it is in certain cases, such as water supply—the appropri- ate public agency should take steps to bring it about by acquiring the property of the private company at a fair price condemnation pro- ceedings. Only in rare cases, where it is impossible to obtain the property at a fair price, should the public agency enter into competition with the existing company. issue im the present contro- versy cver PWA grants and TVA, therefore, is not whether publié ownership is desirable, but whether the Fe ederal ¢ Government should subs private enterprise, and should ripe engage, through such agencies!

So long as thisjs Swill ernment’s policy, or so long, as there is reason to fear that it be the Government's policy, so long will utility executives be unwilling te expand their plants and facilities, and so long will prospective inves- tors be unwilling to provide the funds. It is fear of Government policies, therefore, that is responsible in part for the present recession. It is agreed on all sides that the utilities would make large additional investmen‘s. were it not for the uncertainties in- volved in Government policy.

Feb. 26 — Red Cross safety experts are be- ginning to wonder if psychology might not have something to do with automobile accidents. There had been many serious accidents on a stretch of the Den- ver-Amarillo highway north of here. A Red Cross first aid station was established, with markers on the highway. For a year now, sinee the Red Cross signs have been beside the pavement, there have been no ac- cidents of consequence. “We have observed that a ma- jority of drivers slow down when they see the Red Cross signs,” says F.
