“Neither the Federal Trade Com­
mission nor Congress will undAtake
to prevent utilities from presenting
to the public facts about their busi­
ness, or even propaganda desired to
wm public favor or to offset attacks
Efforts to do so would be unwise L
such an aim could be achieved. Bil­
lions "of dollars are invested in these
enterprises. Corporations engaged in
them are subject not merely alone tc
honest criticism; they suffer repeater
political drives and assaults which ai
calculated seriously to damage then.
Not loiW since their answer to such
attacks was to suborn legislative
bodies. Many utilities now try hon­
estly to protect themselves by giving
to the public intelligent information
concerning their business. This if
not only unobjectionable, but de­
sirable.
“Tn this connection it is interesting
to note that, while the Federal Trade
Commission’s investigation is in pro
gress, the National Board of Fire
Underwriters, of which Charles E.
Hughes is general counsel, has a
report providing for a test publicity
campaign “to create better under­
standing of the business.” This serves
to show that corporartions under any
kind of public regulation are con­
vinced that they must have access to
the public ear. The point is worth
emphazising in view of the present
discussion of the utilities* publicity
methods.”
