Wall Street, Whipping Boy
Linn county's third PUD election which will be held on
Tuesday is no particular concern of ours; The Statesman
has remained neutral as to all of these PUD tussles which
! did not involve the area in which this newspaper may be
regarded as a "citizen."
' Thp ThATmn ErnreM n.qserta that the burden of the plea
from PUD advocates is "Vote for the PUD and get even with
Wall otroof anrl triA Mnnntnin States Power COlriDany. The
Express contends this is a poor
ought to be confined to the prospects of better electrical
service at lower cost and the general welfare of the com
munity; that Uncle Sam "is the Mountain States Power boss
today and be swings a mean stick." -
The newspaper goes on to claim that Wall street, denied
. : its accustomed orofits in the operation of the Dower company,
. has changed sides and is suDportincr the PUD program : that
a pro-PUD speaker active in the territorv of the propaed
district is enmloyed by or beholden to Wall street, which
expects to sell transmission and other equipment to the
districts. 4
We wouldn't know about that. But it is remarkable how,
year after year, it has been possible in this country to drum
un enthusiasm for various causes, some of them dubious, by
, , showing in some way that thev will spite Wall street. It is
,the No. 1 rule in the guidebook of the political aemagoKur.

newer names for the same idea.
. AttemDtinjr to tret down to reality, there are two ques
tions about Wall street that are reallv pertinent. Referring
to the men who really run hie business and rot to the hanwrs-
'on, a difference of opinion is possible on these two points:
.are they smarter than the general run of people, and are thev
wickeder? This column tends to the opinion that fhe so-cpllod
big men of Wall street are just average men who have be
come skilled, through training and practice, at runniner bi
business an occupation which doesn't r'ure a gre deal
if any, more capacity than running 8nTll business. "If they
had been much smarter than the rest of ns they would have
; foreseen, and forestalled, the 1929 rrnh. Likewise they would
have foreseen, and forestalled if thev are s powerful as
some people claim the New Deal, which irks them very
much. '
Of course one wonders how they got where thev are:
and the answer is. if they're not so much smarter, th-v erot

come to kill the 'long man.' The
lad was sent after the horses im
mediately, and Smith was started
on horseback to Walla Walla
(Fort Walla Walla), where he
happened to arrive just as a
boat was departing for (Fort)
Vaneouyer.
Giving the horse in charge
of an Indian he had seen at the
mission, to be returned to Dr.
Whitman, he was then on the

Letters From
Statesman Readers
To the Editor:
Your editorial "Niemoeller,
the Modern Luther," somewhat
misses the point: The stubborn
survival of religious fervor in
nazi Germany is not so much
Protestant as Catholic, and the
Catholic church as a unit has
suffered far more, both mate
rially and otherwise, at the
hands of radical nazi forces than
have all other Christian bodies
combined. Also the Catholic -church
from the popea on down
to bishops and priests in Ger
many, has consistently maintain
ed right to religious freedom to
all and freedom in choice ot
education. But Catholics ad
mire Pastor Niemoeller for his
brave . stand taken in the face
of aggression. ...
Under the heading, "US Heads
Back to Old Policy," there is an
erroneous impression Created:
To begin with, the Azana-Cabal-leros
Popular Front (atheistic
anarchic) government of so
called Loyalist Spain came into
power only through vote fraud
and violence, as present-day
facts in Spain and right here in
the US: prove beyond doutt. It
was In power only because of its
absolute suppression of all free
dom to those opposed to it. It
destroyed and burned and looted,
tortured and killed with utter
abandon.
The Soviet had already started
its "boring from within" in
1920, and the Popular Front
was completely under Soviet
domination when Franco rose
with his nationals npon the mur
der of Calvo Sotelo. Franco's
movement was backed by the
majority of the Spanish people
and is the most democratic at
tempt at government anywhere
in Europe rivaling our own. Nor
Is it Fascist. Stick to the truth;
it is nearly always more ro
mantic and exciting and worth
while than fiction. . . .
Those radicals who fled from
Spain to Mexico are for the most
part arch criminals guilty of
abominable crimes who wish to
finish their work by converting
the already pro-communist gov
ernment of Mexico Into a Soviet
controlled anti-God dictatorship
modeled npon that of Stalin. Nor
la Trotsky there for nothing. . . .
