ascendancy and i am delighted that you are keeping the banner afloat in north york col mulock expressed his pleasure that there were so many ladies present recalling that it was a liberal government which had given women the franchise hydro and trade were the prin cipal subjects discussed at the picnic mitchell f hepburn provincial liberal leader replied to the recent statement issued by the hy dro electric power commission charging him with absurd refer ences to the management of the hydro industry hon j c elliott former minister of trade and com merce spoke on canadas business at homo and abroad replying to the statement issued by the hydro chairman hon j r cooke on tuesday mr hepburn said he was represented as having mado a number of obviously absurd statements with reference to the commissions overpurchase of power and its surplus of unneeded electric supplies f for oxamplo i am reported to have stated that wo will have a sur plus sometime of 15000000 hp when of course it is well known that there is not that much electri cal horsepower dovoloped in all canada truth wanted mr hepburn claimed that the hydro commissioners could easily have informed themselves of his real statements tho public however was not so much concerned with the commissioners opinion of him per sonally what the electors desired to know he said was the truth re garding conditions as they exist quoting from the last report ot tho commission mr hepburn sum marized the power purchased by it from gatineau chats falls mclar en boauharnols and abitibi there was approximately 800000 hp undor contract which with the com missions own generating stations would make almost 2000000 hp these figures did not include the madawaska purchase since tho figures given above were published mr heburn went on the commission had takon over tho wholo abitibi development of 275- 000 hp adding 176000 hp to tho 2000000 mentioned i have not posed as a prophet as to business conditions of 1937 said mr hepburn were liberal govern ments in office at ottawa and tor onto recovery might be rapid and progress great but what i have said on many occasions is that tho com mission has purchased by capital expenditure and privato contract supplies of to double the amount ot its recent market or 1000000 hp excess which at 15 per hp is 15000000 per year and i havo added that this will be a dead loss to tho hydro municipalities or the ontario taxpayers unless some way bo found in the tour years interven ing for an amount ot power equal to twice our present consumption or a new market for such power as we aro now selling free hot water if there is no present surplus of power why has the commission ex tended thousands of dollars in hot water heaters which are being sup plied free of charge to anyone who will use them and thus absorb elec tric energy why is the commission selling power at 6 per horsepower to the thorold plant and elsewhere and why has it expended further thou sands of dallars in capital invest ment to make possible sale at such prices ot power costing 515 per horsepower hon mr elliott said the last bud get was tho most disappointing since confederation for the last year in canada trade per capita had dropped from 260 in 1930 to 590 nd tor a family of five as against 51500 in 1930 thero was only 5150 last year as an example to the extent to which the government had been driven in taxation the impost of two cents a pound on sugara necessity in every household was equal to nearly half tho total price of sugar under liberal rule wants reciprocity we havo in power in tho united states said mr elliott a demo cratic government pledged to obtain reciprocity with canada the cana dian prime minister stated that all we could do was to be ready and willing to avail ourselves of any pro posals that are fair and reasonable how much longer do you think that the people of this country can stand to do without a market for our surplus goods while the govern ment is relying on conferences which are getting us nowhere whatever pressure can be brought to bear up on the prime minister to get a re ciprocity agreement should be brought to hear upon him at the earllost possible moment cream grading in addition to taking care of your cream it is most important that it be graded in the shortest possible time after leaving your place it would not only be a
