Congress Will Consider Huge
Western Land, Water Program
E BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —A seven-year, $4,-
000,000,000-t O-$7,000,000,000 plan to transform
huge undeveloped western U, S: land and water
resources into permatient, national economic as
sets has just been unveiled by Secretary of In
terior J. A. Krug and Reclamation Commissioner
Michael W. Straus.
It is intended to increase crop and livestock pro
duction in the 17 western states and to enlarge
electric power generating facilities now critically
needed there. Other benefits would be flood con
trol, increase of municipal water supplies and
greatly expanded recreational facililies,
The program outlined is not a New Deal plan
dreamed ub in a hurry to earry out any of Pres
ident Truman’s lavish campaign Ppromises to the
West, though it meets such specifications. The
plan was drawn up by Bureau of Reclamation ac
the request of Republican Repreesntative Richard
J. Welch of San Francisco, Calii., chairman of the
House Commitlee on Public Lands.
WEST WANTS WESTERNERS
TO HEAD COMMITTEES
Due to the election upset, Welch won't be chair
man of the Puklic Lands Committee which will
act on this program. There will be a battle over
who succeeds him. Ranking Democrats on the
emomittee are Andrew L. Somers of New York, J.
Hardin Peterson of Florida and Jasper Bell of
Migsouri. But the West wants reai far-westerners
—someone efftirely familiar with their needs—to
head up congressional committees dealing with
their prohlems. ’J‘o'get such a chairman it would
be necessary to give the position to the fourth
ranking Democrat, Jchn R. Murdock of Arizona.
. In the Senate titere is no such complication.
Ranking Democrat on the upper house Interior and
Insula: Affairs Committee will be Joseph C.
O’'Mahoney of Wyommg, who wants the job.
" The seven-year program outhned for these
coramittess to consiaer includes some 250 projects,
says Commissioner Straus. Abcut 65 would have
irrigation facilities only. The otner 185 would be
multi-purpose projects icr flood-control, irriga
tion, power and water supply.
“It would inveive expenditures beginning with
$312,000,000 in 1949, rising to a peak of $782,000,-
000 in 1953, dropping to $720,000,000 in 1954, Exact
total for the seven years would be $3,891,900,000.
fiut to complete the projects started under . this
éeven—year program would Irecuire an estimated
$3,373,000,000 more. So the total investmen: re
guired would be over $7,000,000,000. ;
~ The Stiraus report explains that only three out
of every 100 acres of land in the West—3B,ooo,oo6
out of 1,168,000,000 acres — can be irrigated by
present rain and snowfall water supplies. Now
under irrigaticn are 21,000,000 acres. Two million
acres would be irrigated under the new seven
yera plan, creating 24,000 new farms. In addition,
supplemental water would be given to 3,600,000
acres or 65,000 farms now inadequately irrigated.

Best Time so Punish Aggressor
Is Before World War Begins
At times it is easy to think of the last
war as something that “just happened”—
a horrible catastrophe whose effects
must be dealt with for a long time to
come, but a catastrophe more like an act
of nature than of men.
It is close to us and yet far away, Its
consequences are all about us, but they
are not yet in perspective. The burning
hatred of the enemy war lords has sub
sided. In its place the fear of a new war
and the need to prevent it occupy our
thoughts and blur the old outline.
Then the long trial of former Premier
Tojo and his companions in Japanese
treachery comes to an end. And suddenly
the memory of World War II becomes
sharp. We recall that it was the deliber
ate creation of cold-hearted, cold-minded,
cruel, bigoted men. These Japanese, like
their Nazi partners, were the architects
of a war unmatched for savagery and de
struction. And now, like the Nazis, they
must pay for their crimes. :
This is something new. Mankind, after
suffering and glorifying wars throughout
its history, at last decided that the mur
derer of thousands must face the same
justice as the murderer of one. Yet there
were some who objected to this decision
after the Nuernberg trial of the Nazis.
They claimed there was no precedent
for such a trial, nor even any laws to
cover the defendants’ crimes. The court
was prosecutor as well as judge. The
Nazis were condemned and convicted be
fore they were tried. The whole idea was
unsound because the very military who
prosecuted Goering and his clique might
meet a similar fate in another war.
The public generally was not much im
pressed by these objections. And there is
even less room ftor fault-finding in the
Tokyo trials. Tojo and tne rest were given
the longest trial in history. Their cases
were heard by civilian judges.
The evidence was weighed -carefully,
and punishment was fixed in proportion
to the weight of their crimes—within the
limits of what jusitce can exact. Naturally,
the lives of Tojo and the other six cannot
vay for their offenses.
At any rate, the precedent is set. But,
while it is just, it cannov cover the whoie
possible field of war crimes. The Nazi and
German war lords were not punished for
Josing a war, as some of them claimed.
But they could not have been punished if
they had not lost it.
A victorious aggressor in a world war
could not legally be punshied by his vie
tims. It is more likely that he might adopt
the precedent of Nuernberg and Tokyo to
punish the leaders who resisted him.
The only selution, of course, is the pun
ishment of aggression at its start by the
combined for¢e of international action.
That is the United Nations’ job. So far the
United Nations has given little cause for
hope that it could forestall any serious
threat to world peace. The will and the
means to realize that hope must be found.
Punishment of aggression after a war is
morally right, but it is far from the per
fect answer.
