The statement by Floyd L Carlisle, head of the Niagara Hud son" and Consolidated. Edison com- panies in New York, after a con- ference with President Roosevelt. that his organizations will begin a building programme amounting to more than $100,000,000 can be construed as a confrmation of either points of view or of both. Actually it seems to illustrate that the main ingredient, of " progress is mutual understanding.

The Administration and the utilities have been sparring at arim's length for a long time, each suspecting the other of more e treme and unfriendly designs than were probawly harboured in, fact. Utility executives. including Wen- dell Willkie of the Commonwealth and Southern system, which has been protesting TVA competi tion. are understood to have received assurances In recent days that the Government In- tends no extensive electrical undertakings beyond what it

Mr. Roosevelt bag found that" Mr. Willkie does not defend or insist upon the Mons of dollars of alleged write- ups in utility company valuations which the Federal Trade Commis- sion asserts have been injected fictitiously into the base a whien consumers are paying rates.

Mr. Carlisle believes the fears of Government competition "have been very much lessened" by the recent discussions. One survey indicates that only 81 per cent of the country can be served by Gov- erment plants built or planned. |Like the plans of the Niagara Hud- son Company, which are said to have been under consideration for a long time, many utilities have expansion projects in their files already drawn up and ready to put into construction as soon as they can be sure of their footing. There are growth and advantage all round "in a conciliatory policy. which permits many of these to go

"SCRAP OF PAPER” The Chinn Evening Newasinan editorial published in Shanghai on November 25, declares that "the Nine Power Treaty has become a scrap of paper," and continues: "The failure of the Powers to do anything at the Brussels, Con- ference has taught us 1 good lesson. Though we are disap- pointed, we should not be pessimis- tic. however, and above all we The should not lose confidence. powers will have to take individual and separate action to protect their respective interests in this part of the world in time, and these individual moves may lend eventually to collective action on the part of the Powers.".

"A TRAGEDY" The China Times in its editorial published in Shanghai on the same date states, "the Brussels Conference has turned out a com- plete failure: no. more than that, It has been a tragedy. At this time of military reverses on both the Northern and Eastern fronts. failure to obtain foreign assistance has caused constemation China,"

in

however. "From the Brussels Con ference we have learned a most important lesson. Every Chinese citizen should realise that China the has suffered much from illusion of peace, therefore, the paper advises that China should stand up on her own two feet, in- dependent of outside assistance. She must be ready to shed" blood, as only by sacrifice can. the Japanese troops be driven from Chinese soll. ··

"With the failure of the Nine Power Conference. Japanese en- thusiasm for Invasion "will be fur- ther developed, but her plundering of China will only be tolerated by the Powers for a while." It con cludes.

"TOO MUCH CONFIDENCE” Shanghal's most influential | Chi - nese newspaper, the To King Pea, has this to say:

1

"China thought, that interna- tional agreements would give pro- tection. She placed too much conndence in the promises of turn Powers. and the Powers in placed too much confidence in Japan's promises. The Brussels Conference "has abown that only by foree can China maintäin her Government, and only by force can she preserve world peace.

"Open diplomacy is a thing of the past. We should not place any hope either in Brussels or in Geneva, but continue to negotiate openly with various Powers and hope that the United States and Great Britain will eventually take definite steps to maintain world

peace,

"The Powers will not abandon their interests in the Far East. and it is only a matter of time Continuing the editorial points when they will take action. Dur- out that there should be no causei | Ing that time China must struggle for dismay or discouragement, all the harder for her existence."
