The great river systems of this country are among the most precious assets o f our people, but as long as they are undeveloped they are going to waste. Their rapid development for complete use is one o f the most urgent tasks before us. “ Hydro-electric power and irrigation are clearly essential for the Wealthy growth of the Pacific Northwest and I urge that they go forward to the full extent that they can be honestly self-sustaining and self-liquidating. On this basis, public appro priations are to be regarded as investments in America’s productive future. The same is true of needed flood control and navigation projects. o/ the Wor^i’n Finest I CP.OFT EASi’ER LILY 1 ■ cing Stock rs\ WO OF POWER AND IRRIGATION IN COLUMBIA RIVER BASIN £■ . woodwork or Add> beauty and life. m a hurry' r I $1.99 overnor thomas e . dewey believes earnestly in rapid development of hydro electric power and irrigation in Oregon. He believes in harnessing the great productive potential of the Pacific Northwest. Governor Dewey’s record of building business and job opportunities in New York State is one of his outstanding achievements. He knows how to work with management and labor because both management and labor trust and admire him. The country needs his experience and compe tence in achieving for Oregon and the entire Northwest the benefits of greater industrial produc tion that he has accomplished so successfully in New York State. G Development Must Continue Full Blast Here is what he says: “ Here in the Columbia River drainage basin you have the nation’s greatest reserves of hydro power, together with the naviga tion facilities and the growing population which have already made the Pacific Northwest an expand ing center of industry. Both for the Nation’s defense and for the greatest advancement of our people’s well-being, this is a development which must be continued full blast. “ It is our country’s good fortune that the Columbia River system h.:> re > f> r de e‘ Aggressive Program, Federal Help Proposed “ River development should be on a regional basis. Such large scale multiple-purpose projects as those for the drainage basins of the Columbia, the Mis souri and the Willamette are a natural responsibility for the federal Government. I propose an aggre^ live and a continued orderly program of developing all such major resources for the benefit o f the nation. And by that I mean to include McNary Dam, and Foster Creek and Hungry Horse and such others as may be feasible, all together or in their logical succession. “ In tnew. resources some sections are more’richly endowed than others, but this is not a sectional m r. Anything that builds a bigger We«t, builds a greater and stronger America for all our people.** * Life to Floors k an and steps ’" • ‘‘»I. Quick drying!
