MAIL TRIBUNE
The Public Power Mandate
If there was any one clear-cut issue, sustained in
Oregon and the northwest, on November 6, it was
the issue between public and private power.
Oregon, Washington and Idaho reelected public
power advocates by large majorities to congress over
the strongest sort of opposition on the part of the
private-power advocates.
One might have reason to assume this popular and
decisive verdict might have settled the controversy
for a few weeks at least.
But no taking the recent annual forecast by the
Bonneville Administration regarding northwest pow
er, as a text, the Oregonian in a lead editorial of
considerable length, declares the report makes out a
good case for the "Eisenhower PARTNERSHIP pro.
gram !."-
Now the partnership
the standpoint of cheap
made toupee.
The Oregonian practically admits this when to
ward the end of the editorial it states, quote :
'.'Higher freight rates, more efficient coal-fired steam
generation in the East, higher COSTS OF NON-FEDERAL
POWER in this area all tend to slacken industrial expansion
in the northwest."
IN OTHER words, as has
this department, what the northwest needs is not
only MORE power but CHEAP power, and the only
way to get both is to eliminate as far as possible
the higher costs, as the
federal power, and develop
multiple federal project at
ple.
AS FAR as we have observed, no informed source
has questioned that public power projects like the
one proposed on the Snake, would give more power
and cheaper power than two or three projects being
developed by the Idaho Power company. The chief
objection has been NOT a denial of these facts,
but the familiar "scare cry" of "creeping socialism."
However, if the Oregonian has failed to leam the
lesson of the recent Democratic vote in Oregon and
the northwest as far as public power is concerned,
there is growing evidence the Eisenhower adminis
tration has NOT.
AT LEAST the Eisenhower administration went
"all out" for the huge federal development on
the Upper Colorado river and now, according to no
less an authority than A.
lans ashington correspondent. Secretary of the In
terior Seaton, and .Secretary McKay's successor,
or his assistants are seriously considering the con
struction of a HIGH FEDERAL dam on the Snake at
Pleasant Valley.
More than that : only a few days after the presi
dential election it was reported from ' Washington
that an "agonizing reappraisal" of the administra
tions private vs. public power policies had been
placed by presidential advisers on the White House
agenda.
TN VIEW of all this it is hard to believe that this
A "reappraisal" is going to add up to nothing but a
reaffirmation of the G.O.P. "partnership plan" as
the Oregonian indicates.
For as stated before that proposal, as far as more
power and cheaper power is concerned, is a "phoney."
At least all the plans we have seen would amount
to little more than giving the private power interests
a huge federal subsidy,
tne bill lor all features of a multiple project EXCEPT
the one profitable item, namely electric light and
power. This would be given to the private "partner"
as .a monopoly for half a century, and judging the
future by the past this would not only make cheaper
power impossible but wrould merely increase the
controls and profits of the private companies that
now monopolize from 75 to SO per cent of the national
output.
Who Wants that?
Certainly the voters of the northwest don't.
" And the claim that this partnership plan would
be voted by the congress while a high dam project
would not, doesn't hold water either.
No partnership plan has ever passed the congress,
and our prediction is none ever will, at least as long
as the present political complexion of that body re
mains as it is.
- Whereas, as everyone knows, many federal multi
ple projects have been passed and financed, all the
way from Grand Coulee and Bonneville, through Mc
Nary, The Dalles, Chief Joseph, Cougar, Ice Harbor
and many others.
' If this is "creeping socialism" and spells the
"doom of the American way of life" then the rivers
of the northwest must be teeming with traitors and
communists and a hurry-call should be put in, not for
the Secretary of the Interior but for the National
Guard, with an assist from the Secretary of Defense!
DUT, of course, that sort of talk is nonsense and
.. everybody or nearly everybody knows it is
nonsense.
What is NOT nonsense, is the plain mandate of
the voters of the northwest issued on election day,
that as-far as multiple power projects are concerned
they don't want private, but public development.
They feel this way because only by such a program
can they secure what is this section of the country's
greatest-need, namely: more power and cheaper
power so that "industrial expansion" will not be
slackened but stimulated and increased. R.W.R.

ELECTION NOTED This cartoon, which appeared in the
Nov. 10 issue of the York, Pa., Gazettes and Daily, is an indication
of some eastern reactions to the Democratic congressional victory
in the races for Congress. It appeared on Page 1 of the Pennsyl
vania paper, and was sent to the Mail Tribune by the cartoonist,
Walt Partymiller, who was pleased by the election of three Dem
ocratic senators, Morse of Oregon, Magnuson of Washington and
Clark of Pennsylvania.
Matter of Fact
WHY A SILVER PLATTER?
Washington It will take a
long time .to add up the full
cost of the disaster in the Middle
East, but its
chief effect is
already pretty
clear. The
most strategi
cally vital re-
g i o n of the
modern world
has been hand
ed to the
Kremlin on a
silver platter
with the American govern
ment as a rather conspicuous
platter-bearer.
Or, putting it another way, the
American government has en
ergetically assisted in installing
Egypt's Presi
dent G a m a 1
Abdel Nasser
as the Soviet
viceroy of the
Arab lands.
That is almost
sure to be the
pract leal re
sult of recent
events.
There is no
Stewart Alsop
use complaining, any longer,
about the unwisdom of the Anglo-Franco-Israeli
intervention in
Egypt. The important thing, now,
is to realize the effects of the
Anglo-Franco-Israeli failure to
attain their aim. Their true aim
was to topple Nasser from his
position of vast influence and
power throughout Pan-Arabia.
Nasser was in fact toppled for
he could never have Survived his
humiliating military defeat by
the Israelis without active Amer
ican and Soviet help.
BUT the Egyptian Humpty
dumpty was put back on the
wall again, partly by parallel
Soviet and American action in
the United Nations, partly by in
tense American pressure on our
allies, and partly by the appar
ent Western surrender to loud
Soviet threats. The last factor is
the most significant, since all
Arabs are now convinced that
the Egyptian cease - fire was
granted in response to the Bul
ganin ultimatum to Britain and
France.
The State Department, which
used to call Nasser a Soviet
stooge, now portrays him as full
of gratitude to us. He has, it ap
pears, been very nice to our new
ambassador to Cairo, Raymond
Hare. But in fact everyone with
first hand knowledge of the
Middle East is convinced that the
Department's former view of
Nasser is now more correct than
ever.
Nasser's psychology is such
that he will surely consider re
cent American actions were
largely motivated by fear of the
Soviets. He will feel that this
country and the other leading
Western powers turned and ran
as soon as the Soviets began
fingering a gun. Far more than
in the past, he will look to the
Soviet Union as his guide and
protector.
'M'OR is this any more than the
' beginning of the story.
Nasser both symbolizes and leads
the predominant National ist
movement throughout all the
Arab lands. There is very little
of the Spirit of '76 in this Nasser
brand of Arab Nationalism. It
is neurotically hate-ridden and
viciously anti - Western. It is
marked, above all, by the con
viction that old grudges can
now be vented on the Western
powers with perfect safety, be
cause the West is now too weak-
willed and impotent to respond
to any provocation.
If Nasser had been toppled, it
would have been 'like the slap
on the face that doctors recom
mend as a cure for hysteria. The
Arab Nationalists would have
stopped screaming and drum
ming their heels on the floor,
and would have started dealing
with hard realities. They might
then have begun to act as serious
Nationalists, offering construc
tive programs for their own
r3 v z i
I
By Joe and Stewart Alsop
countries, and forthrightly seek
ing a constructive accommoda
tion with the Western nations.
But since Humpty-dumpty has
been put back on the wall again,
the opposite effects can be an
ticipated. Nasser's followers in
other Arab lands will of course
take notice of the Israeli's bril
liant victory. They will be chill
ed by demonstration that Nass
er's vaunted military power is
a busted flush. But this setback
for Nasser will be more than
balanced by the enhanced pres
tige of the Soviet Union, and the
reflected glory of Nasser as the
Kremlin's special Middle Eastern
favorite.
XTTHAT must now be expected,
therefore, is the progressive
collapse of every remaining
Western position in the Middle
East, under the assault of the
Nasser - led Arab Nationalist
movement. Arab Nationalism
will now be more inflamed than
ever because of the fruitless at
tempt to topple its leader. It
will be more confident than
ever because of the apparent
Western surrender to the re
cent Soviet threats. It will be
more Soviet - influenced than
ever because not only Nasser,
but the Arab Nationalists every
where will now tend to accept
the Soviets as their guides and
protectors. And the Soviets will
use the Arab Nationalists, cooly
and ruthlessly, as instruments to
cut the Western alliance's oil
jugular in the Middle i.ast.
There are other probable con
sequences of the Middle Eastern
disaster, such as the replacement
of the present British govern
ment by a strongly anti-American
Labor cabinet, the onset of
political chaos in France, and so
on. But this storm which is
shaking the whole Western Al
liance to its foundations still
chiefly centers in the Middle
East.
lyfAYBE the British, French
and Israelis were wrong to
try to topple Nasser at all, and
certainly the British and French
played their part in the opera
tion as badly as possible. But
once the attempt had been
started for good or ill, the fate-(
of the Western Alliance auto
matically hung upon its success.
That is the point the American
government has refused to recog
nize. Maybe it is not too late, even
now, to recognize this central
point and thus salvage something
from the ruins.

Grants Pass Development of
the new Redwood highway over
former C and OC Railroad right-of-way
as considered a step near

A hearing was held in 1955
on a petition of the receiver for

in operation of the line. Decision
on the petition was withheld
pending word from the ICC on

OUR U.N. POLICY
For the U.N., which finds itself
attempting to deal with the two
great crises in Hungary and in
the Middle
East, the criti
cal fact is this:
the United
States is acting
wholly within
the legal sys
tem of the
United Nations
w h e r e as the
Soviet Union is
in the main
acing outside that system. The
heart of the difference is that
the Kremlin is using military
force as the instrument of So
viet national policy. The United
States, on the other hand, has
gone further than any great pow
er has ever gone before to re
nounce the use of military force
except as it might be called for
and authorized by a majority of
the United Nations.
In both crises the course of
events is being shaped by this
novel, this wholly unprecedent
ed difference in the military
philosophies of the two dom
inant military powers.
.
fpHUS, the United Nations, or at
-"- least a substantial majority
of them, have called upon the
Soviet Union to desist in Hun
gary. But as it was certain that
they would not oppose the Red
Army, the Kremlin has used the
Red Army to achieve the Soviet
objective. The Red Army, we
have seen, is not subject to any
of the limitations which the U.N.
has wished to impose.
In the Middle East the United
Nations have called upon Britian
France, and Israel to desist. They
are desisting and they are ac
knowledging the authority of the
U.N. But here again the Soviet
is using its military power out
side the U.N. It is making threats
of military intervention which
have never been considered,
much less authorized, by the
U.N., and it is, unless the avail
able reports are wrong, building
up a military bridgehead of its
own in the Middle East. The U.N.
is being passed by.
THE first conclusion to be
drawn from all this is not

Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer, although
under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial for publication
is permissible. The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a
view to clarification and- condensation. Letters submitted for publication must

Letter Box Appreciated
To the Editor: It is with the
greatest of pleasure that I type
you this 'To the Editor' letter.
It is, indeed, very seldom that
ANY newspaper opens its pages
to the 'inarticulate'.
By 'inarticulate' I mean the
general public, to express an
opinion that may be in opposi
tion to the views held by the
paper's management. This you
have done, and are doing, that
the 'people' might also be known
as having a 'say' in what is hap
pening or about to happen. It
permits the average person to
do something to sway the 'other
fellow' to believe as he believes.
If he can do so he may be able
to have some effect in persuad
ing others to vote or to form an
opinion similar to his own and
so gain his desires.
I am quite sure the public ap
preciates the facilities you have
given it and I hope you will re
ceive my thanks in the spirit in
which they have been extended
to you.
Keep on as you are now doing
and I am very sure you will lose
no friends and will make many
new ones.
So now I say Thank You'

To the Editor: Some days ago
I read an article in your column
about England and France want
ing everything and giving noth
ing in return, and believe me Mr.
Walker hit the nail on the head.
So now I read another article in
tonight's paper ' of the exact
words that he wrote. I think it
is about time we here in the
United States put a stop to all of
this give away.
I think we should condemn
England and France as much as
the Russians for the way they at
tacked Egypt, and then say,
"Please forgive us," after all the
bloodshed they did. They are as
bad as the Communists who at
tacked Hungary. Now they want
us to help them. What a-laugh.
I'd help them alright by not let
ting them land on our soil. Eng
land claims to be civilized, but
to most of us they are savages
too.
And I quote:
"The British and the French
are frightened by the conse
quences of their ill-starred lone
wolf foray into Egypt, whose
purpose was to humiliate and
discredit Nasser. So Prime Min
ister Eden and Premier Mollet.
want to come to Washington to
ask President Eisenhower for

Lippmann
that the United States should
decide for a free land, should in
its turn cast off the United Na
tions, and proceed in its own
way to use the influence which
its military power can exert. Our
first business is to explain to the
United Nations this fundamen
tal problem the problem .of the
Soviet Union's unilateral use of
force as the instrument of its
national policy. This should be
done, if necessary to give it prop
er emphasis, by the President in
person. For it this problem is
not understood by the govern
ments of the world, and its grave
potentialities taken to heart, we
may all find ourselves on a slip
pery slope where events are out
of control.
In adhering to "a United Na
tions policy, we must realize
clearly that there are two very
different ways of acting on such
a policy. One is the way the Ad
ministration fi.r'st took, then
modified somewhat, but has nev
er seriously reconstructed. This
was in essence to treat Britain
France, and Israel as aggressors
to treat Eyypt as the innocent
victim, and to commit the whole
United States influence to the
single issue of the withdrawal of
military forces.
The .other way, which in view
of Nasser's record should have
been the oricinal way, is to com
mit our influence in the U.N.
insistently and decisively to a so
lution of the problems which
caused the explosion. The U.N
is now being put to its severest
test. It is being tested at its
weakest point. Its inherent weak
ness is that it Is not, or least
that it has never been, an agency
for making peace. It has been
only an agency for the making
and keeping of truces.
TN the Middle East another
-- truce will be good enough now
that the Soviet Union is by way
of establishing itself as a pri
mary military power. We should
not leave it to Britain and to
France, or to Israel, to argue this
crucial issue. We should argue it
ourselves, remaining within .the
limitations of the U:N. but refus
ing tn acceDt and to compound
its characteristic impotence" to
deal wijh the solutions oi great
and waded in on our own. Won't
you PLEASE help us out of the
mess we go ourselves into?' "
Unquote.
Wouldn't it be nice if all we
in these United States would
have to do is say -we needed
financial help and - get it, like
England and other countries
are doing? What -a wonderful
place this would be to live in.
But this is too good to be true.
I always thought charity started

A Word To Nature Lovers
To the Editor: Horseracing ih
Britain, Australia, Jamaica,
(perhaps even in U.S.A.), finds
a parallel in racing camels. This
writer had a rare glimpse of the
sport when he once occupied, for'
a brief period, a throne in Camel
Land. (That, as Kipling would
say, is another story.) Is the
camel, however, slowly moving
toward, if not extinction, the
status of today's horse under
automobile competition? In Mor
occo, this writer saw a wife and
a camel harnessed, side by side,
to a plow. Beyond the Cactus
hedge, the next farmer had a
small, tractor.
Many mammals have a trend
toward what someday may be
as complete extinction as that
of the Dinosaurs. These reptiles
lost out because even a 30-ton
Thunder-Lizard had a brain no
bigger than a man's. LOW "IQ"
WAS FATAL! One wonders what
kind of a-circus we would have
if the kiddies could enjoy live
StegSsaurus. Triceratops, He
perornis. With no humans m the
Jurassic, hence no National
Parks, these reptilian giants
were not preserved.
Today's National P.arks have
helped save a number of species
from being erased. That National
Park concept grows steadily
overseas. The new Queen Eliza
beth II National Park-in Uganda
helps Belgian Congo's King. Al
bert N.P. to protect eveh the
African elephant. This was
threatened by the now-exploded
peanut boom. By it, Europe's fat
shortage was to be solved almost
overnight. Great areas of jungle
thus fell to bulldozers and
erosion. Meantime, elephant
food was destroyed . as was
U.S.A.'s buffalo range.
The solution of -saving wild
life depends upon the next ten
years. Who will po.ssess our Na
tional Parks? .Will it tie "the
Litterbugs? Or will ft be those
who enjoy natujre under the
