PRAISES QUEBEC'S STAND IN REGARD T0 POWER EXPORT Hon. Walter Mitchell Be- lieves Province's Attitude Right ST. LAWRENCE PLAN Should Be Considered Only from Canadian View- point Quebec, Jan, 13.--The St. Lawr- ence development should only be considered from the Canadian viewpoint, according to Hon. Wal- ter Mitchell, former Provincial Treasurer, who spoke on this sub- ject before the Quebec Rotary Club, Mr. Mitchell praised the attitude of the Province of Quebec in refusing to export power, de- claring that other provinces which wished to export power could do g0, but that history would tell which was the wisest course. In 'connection with the plan for the international development of the St. Lawrence, Mr. Mitchell ex- pressed the hope that the interests of the Dominion and of each prov- ince would be fully considered. He referred to the infringing of the international agreement by the ex- nessive withdrawal of water through the Chicago drainage can- 'al and pointed to this as an ex- ample of how international agree- ments were carried out, adding that if the St. Lawrence work was to go through, it should be a na- | tonal and not an international un- dertaking. "Experts have calculated that a Worse power of electricity can do the work of 45 men, and the 11,- 640,052 horse power in Quebec when developed would represent the labor of 523,802,340 men," de- clared Mr. Mitchell, "What we need most in this country is population, If we got poprlation, business will hum. A market will be created for our farmers, frelzht for our raflways ! and steamships. We ecennot eet fnereased monnlotion unless we | oreate work for them. Therefore, | lot us harness our hydro-electric | rower, makinz for cheaper power, | more industries and manufactur- nz, more emnlovment, ereatine a ttuation where the fob will be 1noking for the man and not the nan for the job, Will Draw Industry "Reasonably priced power will la. the marnet that will draw in- instry and the industry will ereate 'o™. The fob will give you the ponu- lation," The ponulation will give | vou the home market," declared | the speaker, who quoted figures showine the relation of this prov- inr~é with the remainder of the Do- minfon as revards water powers, Nuebee, he stated, had 11,640 052 i horse power ava'lable, as against 6,808.190 in Ontario, less than | that in Manitoba and 5,103,460 in Tritish Columbia. In the develonment of water nower Ouebec leads the way with 1,915,443 horse power or 20 per cent development, according to Mr. Mitchell, He reviewed the rapid growth in population of Grand 'Mere, Three Rivers, Sorel, Shawinigan Falls and Cap de la Madeliene as being due to the development of water powers and stressed the faet that in Eastern Townships alone 28 new industries had sprung in- to being through the availability of plenty of power. The Lake St. John district was also touched up- on by the ex-Provinecial Treasurer, who stated that the development there, which had cost $100,000, 000, had meant business for loco- motive, steel, electric, brick and cement plants, fons prevailing as the manner of power devciopment the speaker stressed the difference between the ell in Quebec and Ontario, stating that in the latter province the people favored public owner- ship, as compared with private ownership, which 1s favored in tablishment of industries in the Contrasting the Steering opin- |' -- province and so that the province would mot be placed at a disad- vantage with other provinces and states and allowing for . healthy competition of the power owners in their efforts to promote the growth of industry," Mr. Mitchell declared. Must Use Caution On the subject of the St. Law- rence waterways, the ex-Treasurer declared: *""At the present moment there is before the country a ques- lic men will not only approach it .| with caution, but will see that the interests of Canada are adnly protected from the national point of view and the interests of the provinces safeguarded from the viewpoints of provincial rights and autonomy. The treaty governing the rela- tions between the - United States and Canada is the Treaty of Wash- ington . 1871 and a treaty relating to boundary waterways, Jan. 11, 1909, as amended in 1914. (4-5 George V. chapter 5), Let us not forget that the relationship under the present treaty had worked generally satisfactorily with our neighbors to the south of us, and any modification should not en- danger their friendly relationship. Canada's national control and sovereignity -must be maintained not one jot or one iota abandoned. It is in the maintenance of our re- | spective rights and sovereignity of | and control to the fullest extémt that will depend the continuation of the existence of the friendship now existing between ourselves and the United States. "We have had only one serious difficulty, and that is the matter of the Chicago drainage canal. The United States either can rectify this position and has not done it, or it cannot do it. It is their duty to rectify it, and if they have not the power to do so they should secure such power, If an infringe- ment of this kind can continue for years, what will happen if we ex- ported a million horse power to New York and the New England States? If we wanted to get the power back it might be argued that we did not want it for im- mediate purposes. What could happen when we did need it? The answer has been given by the New York State Commission, which I have quoted to you, that is, we would not be able to. get it back, and the matter would become a dangerous international one. So I say, if this development is to take place in the national interest, let us develop it nationally and not internationally, That does not mean that the United States are not entitled to the water power that belongs to them in the inter- national section of the St. Lawrence That does not mean that any in- ternational difficulties will be created by making a 27-foot water- way instead of a 22-foot water- way in the St. Lawrence, but does mean that the development must be on mational grounds only," con- cluded Mr, Mitchell. 13 MONTHS IS METED OUT TO PICTON PASTOR Rev. J. J. Mellor Sentenced, Jury Bringing in Ve:d'ct Quickly WEEPS IN COURT Looks Pale and Worried as Sentence is Passed by Judge McLean -- ing. He used his handkerchief of- ten during the trial. Just before he was taken from his cell he had a commupication from his wife who had returned to Picton to hear the result of the case. It is this which is supposed to have upset his hitherto impreg- nable composure, F. L. Ward, for the aceused, arose to say' that the defense would base its case on three points. These were: The common law finding in re- gard to a previous conviction as in section 16 of the code; lack of cor- Kobaration and, finding of a lack ev! ce Of ecent assault. "The second prosecution having been started I must administer the REDR TEA: s good | ted The Orange Pekoe, at a little uy extra cost, is extra good his second point, lack of corro- boration, "] am suvmitting that the case, Rex vs, Farrell, governs the case at the bar," sald Mr. Ward.

Picton, Jan, 14.--Thirtecn months at a central prison, proo- ably Guelph Reformatory, was the sentence imposed on Rev. J. J. Mellor after he had been found guilty of a serious charge against a young girl, who was formerly a > member of his churep choir, A verdict of guilty was brought |} in almost immediately by the jury |% and sentence was imposed at once by Judge McLean. Looking pale and worried, Mel- lor was asked to stand. He was so unsteady on his feet that he had to support himself by leaning on the railing of the prisoner's box. When sentence was pronounced, hiss pallor became even more pronounced, Perspiration stood out in beads on his forehead and his lips trembled as if moved ei- ther by emotion or prayer, Before delivering sentence Judge McLean explained that he was tak- ing into consideration the fact that Mellor had already spent con- siderable time in jail. F. W. Ward, defense counsel, made an eloquent appeal for len- iency. "Consider the class of society to which he belongs," he pleaded. "Don't send him to prison from which he will come out worse than he went in." Mellor himself, said nothing, either before or after sentence was delivered. The court room was again crowded but no demonstration of any sort followed the court's pro- nouncement, Mellor's sentence of 13 woaflie may be served at either Guelph or Burwash but it is expected that he will be taken to Gue Iph. oH Sheriff's officers will probably conver him to the scene of his imprisonment. The trial was resumed at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, When the prisoner was put in- to the box before court opened he showed signs of emotion for the first time during his many appear- ances in court.
