- RENNE AND THE INTEREST COMPONENT
Some days ago a forum on northwest resources was held
at Uregon btate uollege. Among the speakers was Dr. R. R,
Renne, president of Montana State College, who was a mem
ber of the president's water resources nolicv commission.
Renne discussed the commission's report. One of his state
ments, according to Charles A. Sprague in his column in the
Oregon Statesman, was that "The policy commission recom
mended that all revenues from projects such as power dams
should be returned to the treasury including the much dis-
cussea interest component." ' j ; ".
Dr. Renne, we should sny, is nqt familiar with his com-
: mioalnn'a nnAttl AT V.n..n 1....1-...J i-li i'' it..

r pages of the three volume report but it has been studied by
the bureau of the budget and Melvin E. Scheidt, of
inu uureau, nas saia :
In the recommendations the interest component is not men-
tioned as such. There Is reference to It In the discussion of the
chapter oh reimbursement. I would like to read a paragraph, if
I may, with reference to that, which I think is probably the best
, reference in the entire document. The only very specific refer
ence' to it is this first whole paragraph on the left-hand column
of page 71. . ' ; - , . .
"A third criticism of the source of repayment funds Is the use .
of the interest component on the power investment for excess
power revenues, or other available revenues to repay a part of
the irrigation Investment. The principal defense of this practice
Is that the river resources should be used to develop the land of
. the basin, or region, particularly since the areas In which irriga
tion currently is important" are generally under-developed. De
pendence on power revenues In this manner, however; may result
In failure to develop some good land because of the lack of power .
.' resources In, that area, or power rates may have to be higher
than would otherwise be necessary." ; ., ;,; ; , . j :
When asked if anywhere in the Report there could be found
anything implied either for or against Mr. Scheidt replied:
"It is susceptible of interpretation, I think'bpth ways."
We find this interesting. If the report can, aS Mr; Scheidt
said,' be interpreted both ways it is a poor report. However,
it seems obvious that Dr.' Renne carries the impression that
the commission did disapprove the use of the. interest com
ponent and though as seems !the case, it did not do so it is
important to get .this suggestion that the members did not
'like it. ' . ' ' . .
Raymond Mqley; onetime member of .the Roosevelt brain
trust and how a-well-khown newspaper and magazine col
umnist, seems to be against this interest component use.
At any rate in a discussion of the Central Arizona projector
a critical discussion he quotes Senator Knowland, of Cali
fornia, on the subject and with apparent approval. He says :
In this project, it is provided that the interest component of
power revenues be applied to irrigation capital cost. This was :
described by Senator -Knowland as an effort "to use a single -.
dollar to pay a dollar's worth of interest and at the same time
to pay a dollar's worth of capital." He called it "double-dealing ;
financial slelght-of-hnnd." i , ......
The vice of this interest component uso is becoming under
stood. " '"- I- 1
One clay last week the Oregon Journal quite properly en
titled the congressmen who, having been given confidential
information in.a secre'cqmmittee' session, immediately pass it
on to, correspondents for publication. On the same page with
this editorial criticjsm appeared Drew Pearson's column 'in
which it was said : "The Navy has quietly built up a force of
more than 5,000 marines in the' Mediterranean, attached to
the 6th fleet." "Quietly" ceases to be when Pearson gets the
facts and the Journal and other Pearson users publish
them even though .they feel that secrets' have been given
away. ' ,y '

WASHINGTON COLUMN

Washington (NEA) Comple
tion of a cease-fire arrangement
iiKKorca will have no effect what
ever on concluslon.-of ,the. peace
treaty with Japan. '" ,'"
On the contrary,, the fact that
there is an armistice in Korea
may In ' part be due to American
determination to go ahead with
the Japanese peace treaty. Rous-
: ons for this belief are simple.
' Russia's ultimate goal in Asia
is to have a communist Japan.
Russia- is believed to have plan
ned, started and supported the
Chinese aggression in Korea as
the first step towards domina
tion of Japan. Now that the Rus
sians realize that Janan will be
allied with the anti-communist
powers in the Pacific, - through
peace treaties, the Korean adven
ture may have been called off, at
least temporarily, as not worth
the cost In men and materiel.
If the 'treaty Is signed by Sep
tember, it may not be ratified for
nnnthnr six months. The senate.
with a calendar already crowded
. by domestic affairs, may not be
. able to take up the treaty this
, year. If senate foreign relations
committee hearings are postpon
ed till the next session of con
gress, ratification by the United
States may not come before ear
It 1W
. .
Texts of the treaty agreements
will not be made public until they
are signed. While the United
States has not surrendered any
of Its objectives in the negotia
tions with Japan and the allied
nnwprs. thp fnl'm nf thn tl'pntv
. has been altered In preparation.
Present indications are that there
will be several basic agreements.
First will be the peace treaty
with Japan, signed by all the
world war II powers except Rus-
Jacob Malik, soviet delegate to
the United Nations, has declared
that Russia will not accede to
the American Japanese- treaty.
Russia has proposed that the
treaty be negotiated by Russia,
red China and the United States.
The united States has rejected
this proposal.- . . :
The second part of the Japa
nese treaty win consist ui n
American- Japanese security
agreement. The United States will
bo given the right to station
troops in Japan. But there will be
no obligation for the United
States to protect Japan.
The united states has already
given guarantees for defense of
the Philippines, other, similar
agreements - ate expected to be
made with other Pacific powers.
Japan and nationalist China, for
instance, will be expected to con
clude a treaty of their own. Ul
timately, however, it Is hoped to
draw all these separate agree
ments together Into a Pacific al
liance, .
Negotiation of the' Japanese
peace treaties has done a great
deal to strengthen the ties be
tween the United States, Britain
and France. At one Stage of the
proceedings. It was feared that
this issue might lead to a serious
breach.
The French were at first op
posed to making any peace treaty
with Japan for fear it would an
tagonize Russia. The French were
told that no precedent for the
treaty with Germany would be
set by the treaty with Japan. If
F rance dldn t wish to go along
on the Japanese treaty, the Unit
ed Slates would break with
France on this issue. France
came along.
The British, fearing Japanese
trade rivalry, wanted Japan kept
economically weak. It was point
ed out that the United Stales had
poured $2 billion Into Japan to
keep the country from going com
munist, while the British had con
tributed relatively nothing. From
this position of power and
strength, the United States was
able to convince the British that
cooperation would bo better than
rivalry In insuring future peace
in the far east.

London, England Britishers
feel that Americans do not appre
ciate the size of the load Britain
is carrying in the common fight
against communist - aggression.
Since the Korean war Britain has,
without great argument about it,
set about doubling her already
suDsianuai aeiense ouruen.
It is only fair to add that this
has been done with a good deal
of reluctance, even among men
high up in the British government
who should have been among the
first to recognize the danger. But
a neavny damaged and tired Eu
rope has less will power than the
u. ss. to tighten up its belt and
go through it all again.
Big Reserve
Unlike America, Britain did not
drop compulsory military service
after the war. Since 1945 more
than one million have received
training and are now in reserve
units. In September of last year
tne compulsory nitcn was increas
ed from 114 to 2 years, followed
by 3'4 years In semi-active units
similar to our national guard.
uoys are taKen at ia and defer
ment- Is strictly controlled.
Though often these conscripts
serve side by side with regular
army members, for the first 18
months of their service their pay
Is much less.
Since two years before the Ko
rean war began British forces
have been fighting communists In
Malaya. This has been a fight
with guerrillas rather than full
scale war, but at the moment It is
keeping 18,000 Britishers, 10,000
Indian troops and a Malayan regi
ment busy.
"Little Wars" Common
The British have had little wars
of this sort going on more or less
constantly for the last 100 years,
and they , accept the responsibili
ties and casualties as a grim part
of controlling a large part of the
world.
When the communists attacked
in Korea, Britain had troops in 18
countries and territories overseas.
These Included occupation forces
In Europe, bases from one end- of
the Mediterranean to the other,
Important stations in the middle
east, and Hong Kong and Malaya
In the far east.
Britain gave immediate support
to the U.N. decision to aid South
Korea, but she has not followed
up her original troops with the
sort of reinforcements Americans
have hoped for. Britain argues
she must keep her -main strength
In "Europe In case the Russians
try something here where the
prizes for the communists are
even richer, , ,

Korea has taused the . British -to.
launch a rearmament and defense
program which contemplates
spending twice as much In the
next three years as she has in
the last three. There will be in
creases In the army, navy and air
force.
The expansion program has
been planned around the special
needs of Britain's strategic posi
tion. As an Island, she Is depend
ent principally on sea transporta
tion and the sort of materials1 it
Is feasible to move by air.
Because she Is so dependent on
imports, Britain's very life has
depended on .her controlling the
seas herself or In cooperation
with allies she completely trusts.
In recent years, air power and
long range guided missiles have
made Britain for the first time
vulnerable to attack from the
mainland of Europe. Thus Bri
tain is Interested In seeing strong
forces In Western Germany to
hold the Russians as far back
from the coasts near Britain as
possible.
Civil Defense Stressed
At home, because of the danger
of air attack, Britain is concen
trating on getting her civil de
fense, which performed so well
during the war, back into shape,
and on strengthening fighter
plane and anti-aircraft units.
The British army was under
700,000 In .1950 and should be 900,
000 by next spring. Total army
strength will be brought tip to
the equivalent of 10 regular di
visions and 12 ready reserves of
our national guard type.
The British force in Germany,
which was two divisions at the
time of the Korean attack. Is now
three and will be 4V4 by next year.
Of the 10 regular divisions, 4
will be in Germany under General
Elsenhower, 4 'A elsewhere over:
seas, and only 1 H at home.

often on week ends. The familiar
surroundings - always look - so
much better when you get back.

Our lawn looked' greener, our
