POWER POLICY
OUTLINED
CHAMBER ACT
Klamath chamber of com
merce directors went on record
today against a section of a pro
posed United States chamber de
claration tnat favors saie 01 government-produced
power only at
the point of production.
The directors, on a split vote,
favored striking one sentence
from a declaration which was
otherwise approved. The ap
proved portions favor use of government-produced
power in re
gional power pools for the great
est general benefit.
In the discussion, It was ar
gued that the proposed declar-
ation would be favorable to
areas near the government pow
er dams, and unfavorable to
areas farther removed I r o m
them. While those speaking for
striking the sentence said they
are not against private power
distribution, they are concerned
about a policy which would pro
hibit government distribution
lines and might therefore pre
vent distribution of the govern
ment-produced power over wide
areas.
The approved portions of the
declaration favor use Of govern-ment-Droduced
power in region'
al power pools for the greatest
general benefit.
The chamber directors also
have approved, in general, the
United States chamber policy
advocating legislative policies re
specting development ana use of
water resources affording full
opportunity to private enter
prise to participate in such de
velopment and to purchase, use
or re-sell products, goods and
services, including power, that
results from water use and con
trol projects developed by the
government.
Lars Carlson, representing the
committee for economic develop
ment, addressed the directors
and announced the appointment
of Wallace Bruce as Klamath
chairman for that committee. .
Carlson explained his organ
ization is promoting a private
enterprise program to meet the
economic problems that will
burst on the nation at the close
of the war. He declared the
great war debt can be liquidated
if America maintains high pro
duction and distribution in the
post-war period.. He painted a
. v rosy picture of economic devel
opment in the northwest.
