FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1959 THE SALT LAKE TIMES m -- L 1 "" Cal Rawlings Outlines Aims Of Western Demo Conference hope that our party will provide the leadership that the millions of citizens in the West are seek-ing and which this nation and our available resources. The time has come to initiate a program for the West which will benefit not only our nation but the world. In so doing, we must consider, among others, the following problem swhich may be. the subject of study and ac-tion without delay: 1. Revision of our federal tax policy to encourage small busi-ness. 2. A program for freight rate revision. 3. An overall program for the expansion of hydroelectric en-ergy. 4. A regional plan for the de-velopment of our natural re-sources and in particular recla-mation projects providing for the conservation of water in this area. 5. Programs for the conserva-tion of our forests, grazing lands and national parks. 6. Integration of the tremen-dous potential of Hawaii and Alaska into the Western area. . . 7. Development of a western approach to Pacific relations in order to promote international trade among the nations of the Pacific basin. 8. Diversification. - 9. Elimination of the present multiplicity of agencies through which all western problems are carried piecemeal to the east for solution. This nine point program ought to be just the beginning. We (Continued from Page 1) proximity to the great potential markets of the Pacific and Asia, the West is destined to mercan-tile leadership. The great future market for American industrial and agricultural products more than one half of the world's population, lies across the Paci-fic and across Alaska from our air and sea terminals. In the air age, the Old World lies not across the Atlantic but across the Pole. In many ways just as the Age - - of Grand Coulee. This is but one area in which we are challenged and the challenge remains un-met. There are others. The Soviet, working with the speed and thoroughness of any totalitarian state, has carefully catalogued its resources. In the Kremlin is the most thorough study or inventory of natural resources the world has known. These merchants of dictatorship know what they have to sell and use while we, as a democracy, have not bothered to even assess of the Mediterranean is passed, the Age of the Atlantic is now passing. The great new period in the history of civilization is the Age of the Pacific. I The Western States should and J will lead this nation into thisl New Age, but in order to do so I they must develop a regional! consciousness to match their I fortunate position and potential. They must learn that that which I divides them is less important! than that which joins them. I They need to rely upon one of our great political parties to assist them in taking appropriate political action as citizens of the j homogenous area. J The Democratic Party by tra-dition and experience is best equipped to develop an effective program for new New West. In-deed, from time to time we be-gan studies along this line. But the time has come when we must act by setting up without further delay an organization to develop a comprehensive and constructive program of eco-nomic and political action by I whatever means might be most! effective. I We must convince the Westl that regional consciousness isl. neither new nor improper in the history of our country. The South has been and is articu-lately and powerfully represent-ed as a region, and is the indus-trial Northeast and the Middle West. - The New West is what Frank-lin Roosevelt called "Promised Land." It is a region blessed by plentiful resources, a region free from crippling class and caste system, a spacious and hospit-able region where people canl live and grow and enjoy life. The achievement of our poten-tio- n has been seriously impaired by the "do-nothin- g" Eisenhower administration's record in re-source development. (Perhaps it should be called the of the people ad-ministration.) Fortunately, the term of this tired administration will expire soon. It is our obli-gation to begin now the hard thinking needed to give direc-tion to the resumption of ade-quate resource development in the United States. It is the re-sponsibility of those of us who have seen the benefits of com-prehensive development to com-plete the building of the New West and the New America that Adlai Stevenson described. America needs to resume in full stride its economic progress. No potential can remain unde-veloped in our march forward. Piecemeal, inadequate, penny-pinchin-g efforts are not proper response of a great nation to the challenge of a ruthless competi-tor. The Soviet Union has five big dams completed or under con-struction, any one of which is larger than Grand Coulee, the greatest of all our dams. These Soviet dams will produce a total of 18.2 million kilowatts over nine times the total production News Preview j Castro's anti Americanism jwill definitely lead Congress! !to study revision of Cuban!
