His mind works primarily under the first classification, for he realizes that without sound government — state, national and international — neither private industries nor political parties or business equid exist. In addressing the National Electric Light Associa­ tion at Atlantic City, on the subject of public ownership and operation of industry, as opposed to private manage­ ment, Mr Young spoifc with strong feeling. It was his convibtion that the exjierienee of the last 25 years, has shown conclusively that efficiency and economy of opera­ tion are best obtained under private ownership. He said: 1 * ‘I have had the opportunity during the last few yeans j to observe the operation of publicly owned enterprises in , m^st of the principal countries of the work). * *,* The ( l ost of the publicly owiied* enterprise's are comparable 1 o < v to th e’worst of the privately owned concerns. I n i' many cases, no one but the government would dare, to give such inadequate and inefficient service as I have seen ” Commenting on agitation, which has been carried on to force state and federal governments into-the develop­ ment of hydroelectric power on rivers, involving inter­ national boundaries or the rights of several states^ Mr. Young said: ' ‘‘This question has been clouded by old animosities. Private ownership people feel thut if the government has anything tp do with the development of power in these compoaite'situations, it will lie merely the starting porn•; from which the advocates of public ownership will ad­ vance their ofierations. “ May I not call for a broader view in the public in­ terest from representatives of both the utilities and the public! jt.Cau we not find a way by which the sovereign low ers of the states may be recognized in tbe location, construction- and ownership of these tremendous struct­ ure« ip great risers supplying governmental services as well as power! The practical engineering problem, * • • is ’iiot difficult once we. remove from the question the heated Controversies, the prejudices and the suspicions of an earlier day.” . In concluding his address, Mr. Young said that no industry had made sneli rapid advances or rendered more useful service since the great war, then the electric pow­ er companies; that their development is reflected ill wages and living conditions in our country, sujierior to any else­ where in the world. In conclusion, he said: ‘‘I beg of you not to hold back or, by opposition, direct or indirect, prevent such development us still re­ mains on the vast rivers to whirh 1 referred.
