SKOALS OFFERS
Not Likely To Decide Issue
Delieved That Senate Will Accept
The Amendment
Washington.—Conclusions reached
after more than a month's investiga
tion of privato proposals, for develop
xnent of the nitrate and power projects
initiated by the government, at Muscle
Shoals, Ala., have beeri announced by
'Chairman Norris or the senate agri
culture committee in a statement tc
[the Associated Press,
' After asserting his firm conviction
that the government should retain title
to the properties within itself for all
time, the Benator said congress, lr
his judgment, would not act at this
iseseslon upon any of the private pro
posals for Muscle Shoals and all that
jcould be expected before adjournment
.would be the authorization to continue
'work on the Wilson dam under an ap
Ipropriatlon of $7',500,000.
! It Is his intention, Senator Norrif
says, to offer an amendment to the
army appropriation bill when It is tlj
•for passage by the senate which will
.’provide funds for continuing construe
:tion work on the Wilson dam by army
[engineers during the fiscal year be
'ginning July 1.
Belief is expressed that the senate
will accept the amendment, but will
decline, because of its congested leg
islative calendar and the anxiety oJ
members to return homo for the fall
pampalgn to take up for acceptance any
of the offers pending In the agricul
ture committee.
“I am firmly convinced,” the senatoi
said in the statement, “that the gov
ernment ought to retain title to all the
property at Muscle Shoals in itself In
order to permit the people to got the
full benefit of Improvements science
may develop In the fixation of ni
trates from the air. It ought not tc
bind unborn generations by accepting
a contract made under existing condi
tions of rapid change in the art, pan
ticulnrly one’ which would extend a
lease over the properties for a hun
dred years,”
Future generations should have
"something to Bay about the control
of the natural resources of the coun
try,” the statement continued, adding
[that "it seems, therefore, that the bill
proposing a government corporation
for operation and development of the
[Muscle Shoals plants, or Borne simllai
legislation ought to bo enacted; some
thing along that lino Is the solution."
' "I am Impressed with the fact thai
,we are asked to make a contract bind
ing upon future generations when we
do not kno\v the conditions that will
surround the people during Its life,' 1
Bays Senator Norris, "and that applies
particularly to Henry Ford’s proposal
because It continued for 100 years.
"Improvements undoubtedly will be
made in the art of extracting nitrates
from the nir,", continued the senator,
"and it Is not unreasonable to assume
that, within a few years, when these
new processes are developed, that the
-methods used at Muscle Shoals now
will be entirely obsolete.”

Washington.—Civil war in Chino
