Single Copy 10 cents. Partners Two Oregnnians, secretary of interior Doun McKay and secretary of state Earl Newbry squared off at each oilier verbally i by way of news stories! Tuesday on the matter of power development for the northwest, and from where we sit it looks as though McKay came out on top of the scramble. A Tuesday morning paper carried the story that McKay and the Army had recommended immedi ate consideration for the start of a federal dam at Libby, while a Tuesday afternoon story told of Newbry chasi ising the interior secretary because he had not recommended an immediate start on a government power project. He also asked McKay for a further explanation on the meaning of the "partnership" power development idea proposed by the government, which we must admit still requires a few answers. If Newbry put the question for political rea sons, which we strongly suspect, it rather looks as though his question was answered before it was asked. Somebody slipped on his timing. If Newbry's statements were made with an eye toward politics, his expression that, "Some power authorities consider this partnership plan im practical; some consider it an entering wedge of a well laid scheme to give away the power re sources of the people to the private power nion oply," sounds much more like the feelings of a Itemocrat than of a Republican. We doubt that Mr. Newbry gained too many Republican votes by his statements VYc don't question that there needs to be a more complete explanation of the meaning of "parlnership" as it applies to the development of northwest power, yet from recent announcements by several private power companies, the heads of these organizations appear to have ai least a fair idea of the meaning of the term. They seem to understand it well enough to start the forma tion of a joint company with sufficient capital lo handle up to one half billion dollars worth of power development construction projects. It is quite Hue that this is only a start on the needed development in the area, tint at least it shows thai, if given a chance, private capital is willing to start the ball rolling. We don't believe that anyone can argue that for the past several years private power com panies have been behind the eight ball when it came to competing with the government in the production and sale of power, and its is just as true that in many cases their own lethargy brought on some of their difficulties, now, how ever they are being offered a chance to do the very thing they have been wanting to do take a part in the power program. Their recent actions seem to indicate that t hey are trying to do just that, and Mc Kay's Tuesday statement shows that the government hasn't forgotten either, that the Northwest is still a part of the United States. It looks to us as though the "partnership" idea was beginning lo develop into something tangible, though it will undoubtedly take a lot more dis cussion to get it into a completely workable plan. If private enterprise and public works can't oper ate side-by-side, and hand-in-hand there must be something wrong with the "American Way." and we believe in that "way" strongly enough to feel certain that, given a little more time, the two can be partners for the benefit of us all. if. if. if. if. if. if. Shopping in Warsaw ' )n occasion do you still feel aggrieved at the prices van must pay for foods and other com modities in our American retail stores? II so, it would pay you to take a trip, in your imagination, to Warsaw and do some shopping under the communist system. In Warsaw, as everywhere behind the Iron Curtain, the stoics are run bv the Government. and so are non-competitive in any true sense of the word. According lo the "Business Around the Wot Id ' column of U. S. News & World Report, beef costs from S3 to $5 a pound in terms of U. S. money. Horse meat is $1.50 a pound and coffee $50! That last figure is particularly interesting in the light of the fact that there was a national uproar when the national drink passed $1 a pound here. In the manufactured goods field, the situation is equally ; -tartling. Men's shoes are priced at $231.25 a pair, a girl's sweater at $187 and bathing trunks retail at $85. One wonders what, if any thing the Polish swimmers wear. In any event, this is a pretty typical example ol what ineitably happens when competitive free enterprise is outlawed and the stale takes over. How can any American think totalitarianism I is the wav to the more .'ibiimbint life? !
