"STRANGE INCONSISTENCE r
President Johnson recently signed the $1.1 billion aid to hla
bill, tunning it on example of "creative Federalism.,,
This event brought an Interesting comment from The Wall Street
Journal,
The paper said, "Yet that same Federalism s Impeding
possibly more significant developments of private enterprise In
the same area. Specifically, a private electric power company In
Appalachla Is ready to spend $910 million of Its own money on two
power projects. So far It Is being held back from spending a dime
by Congress and a Federal agency."
One project Involves a $210 million power plant on the Savannah
River, but Congress has not given the necessary approval.
The other project, in upper South Carolina, carries a $700 million
price tag and can be authorized by the Federal Power Commission.
But a number of rural electric cooperatives oppose it, and
FPC has not acted.
These tremendous developments would provide private,
heavily-taxe- d Investments totalling almost as much as the Appalachian
bill. Further, as The Journal points out, It is a rule
of thumb that for every dollar Invested to generate power In an
area, three more dollars are Invested by industlal customers
there. To quote the paper again. "Surely It is a strange inconsistency
when Federalism, .which can create nothing without first
taxing the rewards of private initiative. . .whoops it up for a
$1.1 billion handout while It lets creative business, with its own
sending program potentially three times as big, go begging."
GRADUATION TIME
Graduation time is here again. Armies of young people will
venture out into what they hope will be an exciting and receptive
world.
It will, for a certainty, be a world which is vastly different
from that their forebears knew. It is troubled, complex, and restive.
Its demands are enormous and implacable. Change takes
place at dizzying pace. The challenges are all but endless.
Yet, at the same time, it is a world of marvelous opportunity.
New frontiers are constantly being opened . in industry . busi-ens- s.
government medicine the physical sciences. In the
space of a few years, more material progress has been made
than in preceding centuries. And the future will bring more and
greater wonders . all the way from homes of virtually incredible
comfort and convenience to the landing of human 'beings on
the moon.
The world will welcome the young people who will soon
leave the schools and colleges. In return, it will ask much of
them. It will, often, require skills that didn't even exist a comparatively
short time ago. Above all, it will demand a willingness
to keep on learning. For formal education is a beginning,
and not an end in itself.
One more thing may be said. Surrounded as we are by material
abundance and achievement. It is easy to lose sight of the
old spiritual virtues. But, without them, the world is essentially
meaningly and empty. This is a truth that never changes. ..and
a truth that, one profoundly hopes, our young people will not
