FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1935 WE ANSWER MR. NEW DEALER.

We are indebted to "New Dealer" for his contribution today to the letter column on this page. We are glad that he can back up with nothing mofe than his personal opinion, his charge that the editor of this newspaper takes "advantage of his position to mislead and misinform the people" and "betray" his trust in saying the country has progressed out of depression in spite of Mr. Roosevelt. We are glad, too, that he sincerely asks us to show how, to use his own words "the abolition of the merely holding company, which! cent and 604,000 women own 11 percent, all of whom would be wiped out if the bill is passed. These companies could not be broker, up within the time allowed.

equities would be destroyed in the process and by inefficient and isolated management. And these companies are typical in point of stock ownership of 34 public utility holding companies in the country. But what of the operating companies of which "New Dealer" speaks? The holding companies having been destroyed the proposed bill would remove supervision of operating companies from the states and give to the federal power commission the right to destroy or force them into government ownership by arbitrarily fixing rates and exercising complete power of management without any managerial responsibility. Furthermore, it would deprive the companies of all right to appeal to the courts for review and protection. Once the proposed bill is passed, therefore, the government would have in its clutches both holding and operating utility industries.

Congressman John G. Cooper, of Youngstown, writes us as follows: "I am fearful if this is done (holding companies dissolved) a great many of the smaller utilities which have been taken over and are now operated by the larger companies will not be able to stand on their own footing and this will mean a very serious loss to the American people. Furthermore, to my mind, it would probably bring about a state of public ownership throughout the country. I am convinced this is the idea in the minds of many who are very high up in the counsels of the Administration at And what is there to prevent congress from striking out the "power and light" clause from the utility bill and taking over all holding companies in every field? What may happen to utility investors then would nappen to all investors. Government in its fullest flower, applied and utilized by the job-seeking politicians, would be upon us.

Interview With a Trap Drummer: are your hours here? To the Editor of The Independent: Please refer to your editorial, "Clear the Track, Mr. Roosevelt, Let's Go," in the April 24 edition. That' the freedom of the press should be protected, no one can deny.

But that the abuse of this freedom should be tolerated, is another question. Aside, however, from any economic aspect of the question of what may be said under the sheltered wing of the press' freedom, it seems to me that ordinary self-respect would cause you to ceais your continued distorting of recognized truths. In the face of the statements of, as you say, two well-known and responsible agencies, to the effect that business is definitely on the up-and- up, you are forced to admit, somewhat 'grudgingly, that things are better. But instead of acknowledging that it is entirely, mind largely because of the administration's activities that this progress has been made out of the mess into which your "constructive conservatives" got us, you imply that it is in spite 'of these activities that the progress has been made. For shame! That you should take advantage of your position as newspaper editor mislead and misinform the people.

For shame! That in such a fashion you should betray your trust. But, enough of this idle critic: Let me ask a question, raised in what I am pleased to call my mind by your statement that to crushing "a tremendous public utility he," referring to the president, "will destroy the savings and investments of some 65 million life insurance policy holders, of hospitals, of libraries, of colleges, of widows, orphans and other individuals." If the public utility holding company really fills a place in the economic scheme of things, its value must be based on something tangible presumably upon the assets of the operating company it. holds. If this is actually the I'm not telling you, I'm asking you the abolition of merely the holding company, which is the idea, and not of the operating company, as is supposed by some, could not possibly affect the investments of the stockholders, since these investments reality are in the assets of the holding company, namely the operating, company, which is not destroyers. How, then, can your statement true? I readily confess ignorant on the subject of public utility eco nomics, and am sincere in my request that you answer my question, either openly or by letter.

They would take it on the chin and that is why- they are fighting to save their investments.

Nor are these fighting investors the predatory monsters of Wall street. The books of the utility holding companies are open to the. congressional investigators. They show who would 'be left in the wake of destruction if Mr. Roosevelt accomplished his purpose in his utility legislation.

Clyde Reed, former governor of Kansas, estimates that in his state alone 50 to 60 thousand persons have invested 20 to 30 millions in holding company securities that would be wiped out. Mr. Paul Block, publisher of the Toledo Blade, says if the president's bill passes it will help destroy the investments of 10 million citizens. President James F. Fogarty declares the common stockholders of the North American company would lose 133 millions.

President John E. Zimmerman, of the United Gas Improvement company, told the congressional committee that the savings of 121,000 stockholders in his company of whom 48,000 are women; 61, charitable institutions; 42, hospitals; 69, educational institutions; 17, fraternal groups; 37, churches; 57, church societies and 36, neighborhood groups would be wiped out if the bil' were passed. Of the stock of one large utility company, according to the Fremont Daily News, insurance companies own of common and preferred, 216,130 shares; educational anc charitable institutions over 97,000 shares; religious anc' fraternal organizations over 41,000 shares and trustee and guardians of minors nearly 2,400,000 shares, all which would be wiped out if the utility bill is passed. The United Light and Power company, of Chicag has more than 1,759,000 security holders on its' book Passage of the utility bill might precipitate a eras' paling into insignificance the Insull disaster.

Tt is obvious from the continual effort to secure peace through signed agreements that neither the powerful governments nor their peoples desire war. The remaining obstacle to banning war permanently seems to be that no one seeks peace earnestly enough to make sacrifices for it. When they all desire peace more than prestige and power, there will be peace.
