Smith urges government to retain remaining water power sites
Washington report by Commissioner Herbert Knox Smith warns that concentration of water power control by ten major groups led by General Electric risks monopoly. Interlocking boards tie water power firms to public utilities and banks, with 60 percent of developed power under few hands. Smith recommends public ownership or long term leases to protect fuel supply and prevent private capture of power resources.
