Hogg came up again in Ontario election campaign speech- | es Friday night with Premier Drew asserting that the for- | mer Ontario Hydro-BElectric Power Commission chairman | gave ill health as the reason for quitting. Farquhar Oliver, Ontario Liberal leader, has said that | if his party wins June 7, he will replace Hydro Chairman | Robert H. Saunders with Dr. Hogg. { The Premier said at London there®-- iT was no reason why Dr. Hogg should | be any more able to handle the | job now than when he resigned due { to ill health several months ago. "I hope I will not be forced to] ! reconsider his explanation of why | he was unabie to carry out his du- | ties." Premier Drew also -spoke at , Ridgetown. Mr. Oliver addressed | meetings in Kirkland Lake and | New Liskeard while E. B. Jolliffe, Ontario C.CF. leader, spoke at | Welland and Niagara Falls. In his Ridgetown speech Premier | Drew discussed Canada's dollar po- sition. He said that if the Canadian { dollar continues to be maintained at par with the United States dol- lar, it's external value will be re- duced to a level where there may be | "serious consequences." "If it was sound to have the dol- lar at 90 cents (in U.S. (funds) | from 1939 to 1946, then it is times more imporiant now. by more than $500,000,000 a year, Then as exports expanded our dol- lar would move back to par on the basis of external credits." The Premier said statements by Colin Campkeil, a Liberal party speaker, that former Lands Minister W. G. Thompson was "dismissed" from his post were untrue. Mr. Thompsen had to resign due to pressure of private duties, he said. Cites Redistribution Mr. Oliver told a New Liskeard PRES VINDPAEURIE SCI } gathering that-=a- redistribution bil} should have been introguced in the 90-seat. Ontario Legislature before the election was called. He claimed Premier Drew, was aware a redis« tribution would give Northern On-= tario more representation with a resultant loss of Progressive Con- servative strength. Ordinarily distribution of seats was adjusted every 10 years and , areas which had grown in popula= tion were given additional repré« sentation. This had not been done since 1933. At North Bay he predicted tbe Liberals would win seats in Wel« land, Niagara Falls, Halton Coun=« ty and two in Essex County. He said the industrial areas of South- eri Ontario would go to the Libe , erals--"not to the C.C.F." and that his party which held 12 seats in the | last House, also would win the farm 10} We! ; would increase our annual income block in Western Ontario. Mr, Jolliffe charged at Port Col~ borne and Niagara Falls, that most Ontario strikes are caused by re actionary employers who are not prepared to bargain "straight-fore wardly" with union of their ems< ployees. He said his party proposed labor legislation intended to brnig about legislation intended to bring about ployers.
