McManus Detente is the term Belmont, Massachusetts that has come to signify a relaxation of opposition to Communism. In the view of many of America's leaders, it means more than not opposing the Communists; it even includes rendering assistance to them and recognizing Communism as a worthwhile, productive force. But because Communism always means the rights and freedoms, suppression of and because it has spawned a bloodbath unparalleled in history, detente with Communism really amounts to a dishonorable compromise d with monstrous evil. Honorable men are to oppose such evil. Yet in America today, we find our leaders shamelessly promoting policies of detente. Such moves leave our nation open to the charge that we are weak and unprincipled and actually begging for peace. God-give- n duty-boun- Bogus Reasons For Detente The most common reason offered in favor of detente is the fear of nuclear war. The argument in its most succinct form is: The only alternative to cooperating with Communism is the total destruction of the world. Logically, that notion must be based on a belief that the U.S.S.R. has nuclear weapons and the ability to deliver them at will. One who subscribes to such a view holds that the Soviets possess nuclear technology, orbiting satellites, intercontinental missiles, and the most highly techwar machine. nical, Invariably, however, the detente promoters jump right from this first argument for appeasing Communism to another that is less terrifying, but supposedly more compelling. We hear: The energy crisis can be solved through policies of detente, because the Soviet Union has oil and gas deposits, but it needs U.S. technology to develop them. To which we offer a resounding, Hold on a minute!" d A Series Of Contradictions In one breath, we are told that the U.S.S R. has equalled or exceeded the technology of the West in the production of atomic bombs, deliv ery systems, and other sophisticated space-ag- e weaponry. And in the next, we are told that this same nation is unable to sink an oil well without our help. At least one of these excuses for detente has to be false. If we accept the premise that the Soviet Union does have nuclear and space capabilities, we must sadly admit that the American government has succeeded in creating this enemy. The most important item in modern technology is the computer. Yet U.S. firms, with the approval of our government, have supplied computers to the Communists. They have also supplied hardware, complex tooling, entire factories, equipment of every conceivable kind, and even money to the U.S.S.R. and other Communist nations for years. Instead of cringing in fear at what is really a Communist war machine, we should stop our massive contributions to it. If, on the other hand, we believe that the U.S.S.R. really does need significant help to develop its untapped oil and gas reserves, then it certainly is not illogical to wonder about its alleged military might. Another View Of Detente There is another way to look at detente, a way which is never discussed by however the foreign policy experts in government and the press. It is that detente is a tactical maneuver in the plans of a powerful few to merge Communist and free nations into a socialist system. The same individuals who work to build up the Communists with trade while tearing down America controls are the with bureaucratic Soviet-likgreatest promoters of detente. Their goal would appear to be the wiping out of all distinctions between our way of life and the Communist system, preparatory to a merger of all nations under their rule. Only from this view does detente make any sense. Therefore, it must be rejected by all Americans who wish to preserve their life, liberty, and happiness.

It is during these summer and fall months that Utahs g water. crops need And, it is during these summer and fall months when Utahs municipal and industrial needs are the greatest, exactly the same time when the natural water supply is the lowest. The Central Utah Project is a n dollar water development project affecting 12 counties of Utah. The CUP is an interconnected series of dams, reservoirs, aqueducts designed to store Utah water that now runs away downstream during the spring until it is needed in the summer and fall. Through the construction of new water storage and development facilities on the streams flowing south out of the Uinta Mountains, Utah water that now is lost to Arizona and California can be stored, making it possible not only to transfer water to the Bonneville Basin, but making even more water available for the pressing needs of the energy rich Uintah multi-millio- Basin.

The Uintah Unit of the Central Utah Project will play an important role in filling those present and future needs. Total cost of the Central Utah Project now is estimated by experts to be more than $500 million with the cost having increased more than 15 percent a year for the past three to four years. Cost of the Uintah Unit alone was estimated in 1975 at $78.3 million. Seventy-si- x percent of this money will be repaid to the United States Treasury through revenues derived from water sales, local taxes and the sale of power generated from parts of the project. Money not to be repaid to the government are those expenditures considered to be for the benefit of all such as the recreational facilities. Fish and wildlife habitats created by the project and flood control are other elements of the project considered to be for the general good and the costs related to them need not be repaid. If we are to provide a continually improving standard of living for all Utahns which means a continually expanding economic base allowing us to provide new jobs for our children, the officials of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, the authorizing sponsor of the CUP, believe that we must develop our natural resources in a manner that will enhance the quality of life in Utah. They believe the Uintah Unit of the CUP will achieve that goal.

The basic idea of the entire Central Utah Project is to catch the spring runoff in new dams and reservoirs like the Uinta and the Whiterocks Reservoirs and to store that water until it is needed in the summer and fall. Flood control, then, is an important secondary benefit of the Uintah Unit of the CUP as it is throughout the entire project. Irrigation water to be developed by the Uintah Unit of the CUP will provide supplemental water to more than 34,000 acres of Indian water right land and will provide all the water needed for an additional 7,800 acres of such land. The of remaining 13,600 acre-fee- t irrigation water will be used on approximately 11,000 acres of land.

Major agricultural suppliers and marketing organizations base their decisions on census statistics. Thus, they can affect the availability of goods and services in many farming communities. Any future allocation programs for such critical production inputs as fuel and fertilizer will bear a direct relationship to the crop acreages and animal units reported in the census. Water, water all around, but not a drop to drink. Without the needed development of Utahs water resources, the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner would be all too applicable to our state. Water is plentiful throughout Utah during the winter months when the snow stacks deep in our mountains. And it is plentiful in the spring when the runoff of melting snow joins with April and May showers. Then, torrents of this precious resource cascade down our creeks anu streams and into the Green and Colorado Rivers to be carried away to Arizona, California and Mexico. The task of public officials charged with the responsibility of providing adequate water for all sectors of Utahs growing economy is not to plan for those seasons of the year when water is plentiful, but, to plan and build so that we have the water during those dry, hot days in July and August and into IRRIGATION SERVICE AREA (acres) Mr. and Mrs. Fayben Larsen were in Tooele a week ago Bureau officials say this is the last in the planned series of follow-u- p letters, as collection of census data is scheduled to be closed out June 30. In addition, telephone calls are being made to selected farmers who have not yet returned the forms in order to obtain information about their 1974 agricultural operations. Everyone who received a form should return it, even those not actively engaged in farming, such as landlords or those no longer farming. That information can be noted on the form which should be mailed back in the envelope provided. Response to the census is mandatory by law. By the same law, all information about individual farms is confidential and can be used only for statistical purposes. Farmers can refer to farm business records for many of the figures called for in the form. When records are not available, reasonable estimates are fully acceptable, Bureau officials say.
