THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1932 LEADER OF LIBERALS IN HOUSE SAYS GOV'T. HOLDS ONTARIO BACK (Continued from page 1) elippings were read to no end. This was all done 1o avoid the matter of the motion, and to discredit Liberals. The plight of the government was shown by the two long speeches. The debate has been up on six days since the mover and seconder. In those five days, including today, the premier has been on the floor three afternoons, and the minister of mines two afternoons, The debate has lasted about twenty-four hours of talking time during which the premier, the 1 nister of mines and the province ial $ creta Jae oc i ) cleven hours. ee a very significant fact, 2 shows that the government 18 igs defensive and that cabinet ministers are forced to defend the situation, . chairman of the hydro commission has not been present to hear the debate or to take part t, The amendment to. the amendmerit belongs to the Fergusonian and is cleverly drawn, is to avoid a vote on th But it does not d motion is to strike out 1 and al who vote { t to the amendn h amend- ment, wi an investiga tion in ase of power.

In other vears, he never spoke upon debate, but this year, under » guise of a defender of hydro, this gun was moved into action, but for the Henry gov- ernment. Each of his arguments was political and it was a well argued political speech. What Is The Issue "What is the i Our demand i the matters amendment, T fuse that demand mines did not deal mentioned in ¢ amendment, but declared that it was another hydro battle. He entered the battle how- ssue in this debate? for an inquiry into mentioned in our Conservatives re- The minister of with matters ever as a champion of the Conser- vative party and not a champion of hydro. e proved conclusively that hydro is an® adjunct of the Conservative party andpfime after time referred to the strong arm of the Conservative party which had made hydro possible. He left no doubt in the minds of us all that hydro was an adjunct of the Con- servative party, and was being run as a part of the activities of the party. Never before in this house has hydro been held up as a part of the Conservative party. It has always been argued that the muni- cipalities were the owners, but they are ignored now, and it is all the strong arm of the Conservative party. Attack on Ross Government "In arguing against the amend- ment, he dealt first with the Ross government, which has been out of office now for nearly thirty years, It was an effort to discredit men now gone, for the purpose of dis- crediting the Liberals, The Ross government has nothing whatever to do with the amendment now moved by the Liberals. He referred to the Gregory commis- sion, but he did not tell us that the report of the commission was not presented wiitil eight months after the Ferguson government was in office, and who knows what would have been reported had there been [no change in government in view of his statements regarding the strong arm of the Conscrvative party. He dealt with the St, Law- rence development but all that this government has done is to send an occasional letter to Ottawa, and ex- tract these letters from the files, and read them to the house from time to time. of the Winnipeg Convention which entirely closed the book as far as the St. Lawrence development was concerned, but blamed the King government for the delay. "He then dealt with the Georgian Bay Canal Charter, which had noth- ing whatever to do with the amend- | ment and dealt at length with Mr. Sifton and his activities before the federal committee, but this had nothing to do with the matter un- der discussion in the house, He then dealt with the resolution pass- ed at the Liberal convention, mak- ing a great ado about this resolu- tion, but not being able to show that this had anything whatever to do with the amendment which was moved by the Libefals in the pres- ent debate. He then dealt with the Sifton speech in 1930 in the Federal Election campaign where there was criticism of Mr, Ferguson but this was all done to divert attention from the issue in the House. Dealt With Beauharnois "He then dealt with the speeches of Messrs. King and Bennett in re- gard to the Deauharnois inquiry, Ie failed to elaborate however, that Mr. Dennett in opposition had | promised a judicial inquiry, but | when in power had given a political | committee, Coming an to John | 'Aird, Jr, which after two hours of his speech was the first matter which was at all relevant, he read the report of the committee. The committee, itself, says that it can- not say on which side the truth lies, but it does say that on the evidence before the committee they find that none of the bonds reached any po- litical party. That is the whole question at issue. That is why a judicial inquiry is wanted. The committee could not say on which side the truth lay. The minister dealt with Aird and the Conser- vative party. He did not deal with Aird and hydro, and the discussion before the house was in relation to hydro. The minister was most anxious to show that the Aird money did not go to the Consers vative party, but he failed entirely . . . for 25¢ is all that you need to deal with it as a matter in re- lation to hydro. E Tes ndurance t "On the second day of his de- bate, it an endurance test. It was an effort to put the opposi- tion over to the night session for their speeches and it succeeded, For nearly three hours, he read speeches, clippings and editorials, but failed to impress the house that he was arguing on behalf of hydro and the people's interest, The whole effort on the second day, was a po- litical effort to discredit . Liberals who have nothing whatever to do with the resolutions now before the house and who are not sitting in the house. As an cflort to put the opposition speakers on in the even ing, it succeeded, but as an cffort to argue the matters before the house, it was a failure. Power Prices "The minister dealt with Sifton, then | He did not tell us| pay for the very best quality blades for double-edged safety razors. PAL Blades set a new standard of cost in shaving « . « a hand-made, keenadged blade for a nickell SHAVE BETTER + LAST LONGER ¢ COST LESS and the power sales and held up | Sifton to ridicule because he asked | $19.00 per h.p. when he had no {power to sell. The minister said [that Gatineau asked much more than $1500 at first, but that they succeeded in reducing the price to $15.00, Possibly Sifton would have taken $15.00 if he had had any power to sell. All the argument shows was that if the government had bought power at $19.00 instead of $15.00, it meant an extra expendi- ture of $3,200,000 a year. But hydro i did not buy it, because Sifton had | none to sell. The argument of the { minister in regard to the price of | $15.00 for power, was that this had | been the price paid on all pur- chases from 1907 to the present date, He made no analysis of the | conditions in each case, and so his statement proves nothing. | Blame For Failure "If all credit for the success of { Hydro is due the Tory party, as the | minister of mines claims, then all blame for failure must lie at their oor. 1f the Conservative party is so close fo hydro as they claim, | then all contracts mentioned in the | amendment become political, It is the strong arm of the Conservative rarty in relation to those contracts which has caused the demand for an inquiry and it is that strong «+m which is refusing that inquiry | The only reason for the refusal | which has been given ir the debate {is the record of the Ross govern. { ment, the weakness of the Drury | governme nt, the Sifton manipula- tions, the resolution at the Liberal Convention, and the Beauharnois |scandal. None of these matter | which were elaborated upon at | length, by the minister, show that the inquiry should nct be held, Neither do they show thar the Lib- eral Party at the present time is unworthy of consideration, hut show the utter lack of reason for the government in refusing the inquir Plants Lying Idle "The minister failed to his argument along sound lines, but preferred to develop it upon the strong arm of the Con- servative party. - Where have we power at cost today? Not at Queenston, where they are running about half capacity, with full over- head costs, not at any of the Ni- agara plants, one of which is com- pletely idle, and the other. partially idle. Not in the case of purchased power, where the profit is paid to the producers when we buy the power, Power users are paying in- | tere st 'on dormant power sites in. | vestments, {on power pur hased, so that power at cost is a thing of the past. "The new provincial secretar spent nearly an hour and a half. He earned his cabinet position by the fiery speech which he made last session, but did not live up to his reputation this year. His speech was largely a review of the speech of the minister of mines, So was not an argument in support of hydro, It bristled with attacks on the Liberals, and a eulogy of the Conservative party, both of which had nothing to do with the motion. He lives upon tha banks of the St, Lawrence, and his riding fronts on the river, and if he is content to see no development of electric power in his own district, that is an affair for himself, and his own i riding. If politics are more import- | ant than the development of agri. culture and industry in the St. Lawrence Valley, that is his affair. The Seaway "The ministers have neglected | entirely an explanation of Ontario's failure in regard to the St. Law- rence. The river by nature is the seaway from Quebec to the sea Canada has deepened the river as far as Montreal where ocean traf- fic comes. The river is all in Que- bec to that point, The federal power has done this for. the prove ince of Quebec, but Quebec having the river deepened to Montreal says 'stop.' It is an advantage to Quebec and Montreal, to have the seaway, There is no mentiog of competition with railways there, but once the boats pass Montreal, they say it affects the railways and they say that the secaway shall not be allowed to benefit Ontario. A sea- way to the head of the lakes would stimulate 'traffic. Rates would be lower on through traffic and the through traffic would develop 'a greater volume of local traffic for the railways. "We are hampered by tariffs, and must develop our trade. The sea- way would do it and industries would thrive and farmers would find markets, The transportation prob- lem is a big onc {or us, and this should solve it. Obstacle in the Way "What stands in our way? The hydro has gone on a buying trip. It has established a market for Quebec power and the profit goes to Quebec. Ontario pays more than cost for its power, Ontario buys power and carries it right past its own power sites. Ontario power sites on the St. "Lawrence would create cheaper power than Quebec can produce, and manufacturers would flock to Eastern Ontario, and so Quebec opposes the St. Lawrence seaway. Hydro would also be in trouble. They have made large contracts for dear power. They have a supply for years. They have an annual power bill to Quebec of $4,000,000. If they developed the St. Lawrence, they would have cheaper power than what they are buying and this would show that Quebec contracts are bad. So hydro are indifferent and are not anxious for a new supply of power on the international section, develon "Ontario is subject to Quebec, We want an Ontario policy for On- tario, We do not want dictation from Quebec. We want the sea- way if we are to survive, and we want cheaper power to attract manufacturers. The Hydro coms mission should be in the forefront of the battle for the scaway apd er, but where is it? It is buy- ing Quebec power. Thé Hydro, by the development of public opinion could have had the development under way long ago but it did not want it, and does not want it. It filed plans and sat down, It is with Quebec and is buying their power, and is advancing Quebec and re- tarding Ontario. Hydro made Beau- harnois possible and Beauharnois has stopped the seaway, Would Bring Industries "The opponents of the seaway are raising international issues and set up the bogey of annexation, The only annexation that would come would be the annexation of Ameri- can factories to Ontario, and they would flock to the St. Lawrence Valley. This legislature should take a strong Ontario stand for hydro, uebec's attitude is purely selfish, oth parties in the Hoge at Que- bec are opposed to the Ontario sea- way and their reasons are not dise guised. They know, and have said that power could be developed cheaper on the St, Lawrence in On- tario, than in Quebec, and they are determined to oppose the develop- ment in' Ontario, "What is the situation now? Are we going to buy power for no one to use and let the manufacturers go hydro | They are paying profits | to Quebec, or are we going to de- velop our own power within our own borders? If we want to as- sure the future of Ontario we must force the seaway for the benefit 1of Ontario, as the solution of our transportation problems and power problems. Premier Taschercau is coming to a parley at Ottawa with | Premier Bennett in March He says that Quebec has already made | known her views They are the | views which I have already indi- | cated. It is the strong arm of the Conservative party that has created this situation | "The bonne entente has worked | with success Premier Ferguson {went to Premier Taschercau with some pilgrimages. Premicr Tasch ereau went to Premier {with some pilgrimages, Each told the other what a fine fellow he was |and the Ferguson government of | Ontario fell and Quebec has suc- ceeded in selling its power to the Province of Ontario and Ontario {has neglected to develop its own | power, Blamed Mr. King "Premier Ferguson wrote letters |to Ottawa. He was hostile to Pre- imier King and did not want to get [the St. Lawrence devcloped. The | letters on file look as if Premier King were at fault but no resolu. | tion of this House has been passed | since Premier Ferguson came into | office, urging the sravy | member for Brant, Mr, Nis one in 1930, and lad to withdraw it, vative party did not want the reso- lution passed. It was tied up with the Winnipeg convention policy. | After that convention, purchases | were fast and furious, It will take { more than three or four hour | speeches to convince the people | that the strong arm of the Conser- | vative party has not ruined On- tario. It will require an awakened public opinion to show that tHe {strong arm of the Conservative | party has worked in hostility to the yest interests of Ontario, "Quebec needs our market for power. Quebec needs manufactur. ers, and we carry power on wires up. the St, Lawrence Valley, leaving the St. Lawrence Valley and East- ern Ontario to the mercy of Que- bee. The provincial secretary, in his speech, said that 'We should ass a resolution thanking Premier aschereau for co-operating with Premier Ferguson to solve the power problems of Ontario. It was one of the most generous moves be- tween provinces since Confedera- tion. | Strange Admission "That is my argument exactly, and 1 did not think the minister would admit it. It is the best proof to my argument and I thank the minister for it. This government admits that Quebec has solved our power problems. The strong arm of the Conservative party has put us in subjugation to Quebec. What a contrast to the province of Quebec, no power for Ontario, except Que- bec power,~and the provincial sec- retary endorses the Quebec policy. The provincial secretary endorses the Quebec domination of Ontario, and as a cabinet minister must speak for the government, and say the strong arm of the Conservative party in the province of Ontario, has sold out to the province of Quebec. This is my Ontario policy, which the minister of mines took pains to distort and misrepresent in speaking the other day." A SCOUT BIRD SANCTUARY With the consent of the Quebec government, the Minister of the In- terior has by proclamation made Mystery Island, the permanent Boy Scout camp near éanctuary., There are several such Scout wild life sanctuaries in vari- ous parts of Canada.

This. should dissolved in a wooden pail amd the bulbs allowed to scak in {t for 24 hours, Iris A light dressing of hydrated Lime may be sprinkled over the Iris in early spring, which sweet- ens the soil and helps to prevent rot, Avoid deep planting of Iris. They should be divided or moved about three weeks after flower- | ing. The Iris Borer may be con- trolled by removal of all dead (oliage and cutting off all green leaves to within two {nches of the rround in late November. This foliage should be burned in order to destroy the eggs of this pest. A little protection in the way of leaves may be given to the plants that have been treated, If there is evidence of rot hav- ing attacked your Iris, it would be advisable to remove all rot with a sharp knife, leaving clean surfaces which ghould then be treated with a wash of potassium permanganate, a teaspoon to a quart of water, and dust well with acid phesphate (super-phos- phate of lime).
