Battlefield in the struggle against socialism. On the Niagara River, five local electric companies are ready to build a big new plant to develop additional electric power. Put the job is being held up by those who want government to build the plant — even though that would take longer and cost Americans $350 million in taxes. Similar delays hold up new power at Hell’s Canyon, Idaho, Roanoke Rapids, N. C., and Kings River, Calif. America's electric companies can provide this power — without tax money and without the threat of socialism.
These facts are heartening proof that the experience and sound business management of the country's hur * ' fV-rAr companies are ready and able to meet the nation’s biggest power needs.
