COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
By SPECTATOR
In commending public service I would add my word of
commendation to our Governor and all those who partici
pated in the so-called “Rights” hearing in Washington. Sena
tor Brown took occasion to lecture and admonish the Demo
crats for their attitude toward the South. This was especially
timely because the whole question is political, pure and sim
ple. I may be in error there, for there was nothing pure about
it and the whole matter is so entangled that its mystification
refutes all ideas of simplicity.
Since the Democrats are in full charge of both the Senate
and the House Senator Brown stood squarely on the ground
and talked frankly to the Democrats. Let us see what’s what
and why.
As I see it, our National leadership, beginning with Mr.
Roosevelt, has acted toward the South with notable stupidity.
England tried for years to impose customs and laws on Ire
land and failed utterly and miserably. I am tempted to quote
Patrick Henry:
“Caesar and his Brutus: Charles the First his Cromwell;
and George the Third may profit by their example”. If Pat
rick Henry didn’t say that Til say it for him.
We try, we Americans, to correct conditions all over the
world, but we precipitate turmoil among ourselves. Until Mr.
Roosevelt used Mr. Farley to make an issue of race among
us we lived tranquilly in the South. And even today, our spor
adic outbursts merely are like specks on the horizon; the re-
The President adds the obvious truth that this would ‘re
lations among White and Colored people are not unhappy;
the ambitious Colored man was always at liberty to move to
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, New York
and Detroit.
Far from being victimized by the White people, it is’cur
rently reported that Colored men and women do not pay a
fair share of taxes; and that no one tries to correct this. If
the White people were so bitter against the Colored people, as
the professional disturbers declare, why don’t the White
people scrutinize the tax-rolls and investigate the reports
and payments of all Colored teachers, and all Colored wage-
earners. On the contrary, the White people make no issue of
this, nor do they even suggest an investigation.
Raymond Moley, one of the first of the Roosevelt Brain
Trust, has this to say of T. V. A.: (The State)
“In his budget message the President has again recom
mended that the interest rates charged by the Treasury to
a number of government agencies be made ‘more adequate’.
This means that the subsidies involved in this process of
borrowing at low interest be reduced. Among the agencies
thus enjoying government bounty is the Rural Electrifica
tion Administration, which in turn lends the money to co-op
eratives.
duce government expenditures significantly’. This is not the
first time that the President has urged this step. Up to now,
the people benefited by these bounties have prevented action
by Congress.
The Rural Electrification Administration was established
to enable farmers in thinly populated areas to have the ad
vantage of electricity—an advantage which private com
panies could not afford to supply.
The working out of the plan involved the creation of far
mers’ co-operatives, who built the transmission lines, obtain
ed the power—for the most part from private companies—
and sold it to their farmer members. In the course of years,
the need of such remote farmers has very largely been sup
plied. And meanwhile many of these cooperatives have waxed
larger and larger. They have become sizable business capable
of giving private companies stiff competition because of the
advantage they have of getting money cheaper than can pri
vate companies.
More recently, with their market diminishing among far
mers, they have already moved into more densely populated
areatj where service is already being provided by private com
panies. When it is considered that the census shows the
greatest growth in population is in non-farming but nonur-
ban areas, this is rich market indeed.
This group of co-operatives—loosely joined, so far as lob
bying and propaganda are concerned, in the National Rural
Electric Co-operative Association—has become a great force
for public, subsidized power. It moves into battles over public
power projects such as that which centered upon Hells Can
yon. Thus, there has been created with government subsidies!
an agency which presses, far beyond the interests ot the re-|
mote farmers whose needs originated it, toward more and
more government in business.
C. B. Shuman, Pres. American Farm Bureau, asked re
cently, ‘whether the first concern of many of the rabid pro
ponents of Federal power is in the interests of the coopera
tives or are they more interested in promoting a socialistic
Federal power program? ‘This would be a grave threat to
the co-operatives themselves’.”
Mr. Moley is an outstanding authority on public affairs.
