First Automobile For Moose Factory ChevrCIet Sedan Turns In Good Per- formance Farthur North in On- tario Than a. Car has Been Before.. Fuel and Lubri- cants Tested. It may seem odd that an old-estab- lished community in Ontario should have airships before a railway and a railway before its first automobile, but such seems to be the case in regard to Moose Factory. There have been many airships at Moose Factory in recent years, and last year the railway was built to Moose Factory. This week word comes to The Advance from the General Motors, Limited, Oshawa, in regard to the first autombile at Moose Factory. A despatch from Cochrane to The Advance this week says:â€" “Away up at Moose Factory, 16 de- grees from the Arctic Circle. and far- ther North in Ontario than any car has ever gone before. a Chevrolet Sedan has just made automotive history. Specially equipped with tractor treads and ski runners, the Chevrolet was taken to James Bay by engineers of the Standard Oil Company. of New York. who went to the far North to test fuel andlubricants. For this purpose the Chevrolet was fitted with special in- struments for measuring temperatures and starting time.

The principle Premier’s Fighting Speech at Toronu Backed by thunderous support from government benches. Premier George 8.

Attacks Critics of dero. Bill to Moratorium on Mortgages In- trcdnccd Into Ontario Legh- lature Last Week. Premier Henry challenged the Oppo- sion to bring forward one fact that would prove anything in the nature of political interference with Hydro while he had been head of the Government or during the days of Hon. G. Howard Ferguson. Further he challenged D. Paul Munro. Liberal, South Wellington, through H. C. Nixon, Progressive Lead- er, who sought an election in the near future, to return to his riding and run again. Premier Henry even agreed to pay Mr. Munro‘s personal election expenses. Defending the commissioners. Pre~ mier Henry declared there had been 2 decided effort by Opposition member to "get" Sir Adam Beck during: 11: Hydro regime, and he went so far :13 t say that the then Premier, Mr. Drur; would have dismissed Sir Adam 1: 11 had dared. The same methods to “get” Sir Adam, declared Premier Hen- ry, were being proceeded with to-day in an effort to “get" the present com- missioners, whom, he declared, are men of unquestioned integrity and reliability bility “If we cannot have confidence in the men we appoint to our commissions without all their affairs having to be investigated , no man of any stand- ing would take a position from us,” said Premier Henry. As to Hydro being policital, Premier Henry asked Mr. Nixon to go back to the days of the Drury government when Col. Carmichael, a. member of that government, was placed on the commission as well as Controller Geo. Ramsden, of Toronto. who, he added, was not a. Conservative. In connection with we request of! Mr. Sinclair to have the 8125.000 pay-l ment made by R. O. Sweezey to John Aird, Jr., in the Beauharnois contract, Premier Henry replied there had been no evidence that one dollar of it ever reached‘ the Conservative party either in Ontario or any province in the Do- minion. Premier Henry declared this money went into the hands of the men who gave evidence before the Beauharnois inquiry. "Aird’s evidence is accepted because he has proved the contribution is in his own hands," said Premier Henry. Upon the policy of his government on the development of the St. Law- rence, Premier Henry read correspon- dence between former Premier Ferguson‘ and then Premier King in 1928 in which the province demanded imme- diate action in the development. The; \King Government had then replied they were not prepared to do any- thing for Ontario at that time. "We pressed for a solution time and time again," said Premier Henry. “and yet Mr. Sinclair says we have no policy with regard to the St. Lawrence. That is the reason we bought power from Quebec. It was because we had in Ottawa a government antagonistic to us and we were forced to buy else- where. I shall show that we are able - to now make real progress through the present government we have at Ott- 8W Premier Henry declared in appoint- ing the Middleton Commission to probe two specific questions of Hydro, it was intended to proceed on a “fishing ex- pedition,” but Mr. Sinclair’s motion to investigate seven Hydro power-pur- chase contracts was nothing else but a "fishing expedition." The Gregory commission appointed under the Drury government had been nothing but a “fishing eXpedition," costing over $500,- 000 and said at the end that Hydro was all right. In opposing Mr. Sinclair's motion, Premier Henry added: “for the simple reason that public ownership cannot survive. cannot thrive or live. but will die a natural death if the public of this province is to be continually roused with suspicions fostered by those who are opposed to Hydro. Further evidence was given in thel House that all is not harmony between1 W. E. N. Sinclair. Liberal House Leader and M. F. Hepburn, M.P.. provincial Liberal Leader. The question arose when Mr. Nixon questioned the govern- ment for reason why the Opposition should not have counsel appointed by Justice Middleton in order to have status before the cornissioner‘s Hydro brobe. Mr. Nixon received no support from Mr. Sinclair in the request, it later developing that Mr. Nixon with Mr. Hepburn had visited Justice Mid- dleton with the request without having asked Mr. Sinclair to accompany them. Mr. Sinclair had previously planned to make the same request with Dr. G. A. McQuibban, Liberaa.
