is a step in the right direction because in the years that I have in the House of Commons, I heard from all partics szme vory severe criticism of the use, if not abuse, of Ordersâ€"inâ€" Council and in this instance it placed a very important matter into the hand of the whole deputation to deal with it and no one cou‘d find fault with such a crocedur> from the Governâ€" ment. Of course, the bill No. 21 as presented by Mr. King is a government till and before any electrizcal power can be allowsed to be cxported, another bill, presented by a private memjer whm,mu hava to have the sanction of the Provincial Government in which This action howrver did not preâ€" cludé the fact that the Government. in Council had the right to give a permit for the exportation of power which has existed for a number of years, such licenses kring granted by Ordersâ€"inâ€" Council for offâ€"peak of our surplus power which was cancellable by the same Government body. In thes2 inâ€" stances, it was the desire of the Govâ€" ernment to avoid any charges of poliâ€" tical motives dealing with application for Hydro Power export, and that is the reason why on the 15th of this month Premier King moved the n»reâ€" sentation of Bill No. 21, which will reâ€" store to Parkiament the control of that question instead of leaving it to the Cabinet. Personally, I believe that this panies had made an application of that kind last spring before the proâ€" rozation of Parliament. These appliâ€" cations were turned down and the reascn given then was to the effect that as quite a number of the cabinet intended to go to the Coronation, it was found impossible to give to that request the study and the consideraâ€" tion it deserved. After the Coronation those applications were reviewed again but they were refused by the Federal Government, so that it was only naâ€" tural that when Mr. Hepburn made his application in the name of the Proâ€" vince of Ontario, it was bound to ‘be dealt with in the same manner as the two provious ones just mentioned. \_ tA M Aive i CCE h. iB 28. â€"Acatind provincs®thot= application â€" emanates, will have to be presented in the Dear Sir:â€" the application made by the Prime of Ontario last fall there has lt of disâ€" cussion in and outs the House of Commons dealing with the matter of power export to the United States. Everyone remembers the mode of apâ€" ;. . o _ â€" , will have to be_ presented in the House of Commons and then, thr first reading, will have to goâ€" beâ€" fore the standing Committse of the ebout the attitude taken by Mr.,. King. In this matier it must also be rememâ€" House of/Commons and the Commitâ€" of private bills so as to be fully discussed with ail the necessaty wit; necses, technicians and experts of both the Provincial and the Federal Governments before it will be sancâ€" tioned thers, ard then it will be brought to the House of Commons in order to be sanctionsd by Parliament. As a Northern Ontarian, I am very openâ€"minded on this subject. I know that durinz the presert discussion a big case will be built up for benefits accrurd to the Province of Ontario over the functions of the Ontario Hyâ€" aro. Conunisdon which I know has teen a great factor for industrial and agricultural developments in the souâ€" thern section of our province. I am very much in favour indeed of the functioning of that commission, but at the same time one must realize that in cur section, and practically every secâ€" tion of Northern Ontaric, the Ontario Hydro does not function although it must be borne in mind that at the present time it is one of the greatest wealthâ€"producing sections of the whole of. Ganada and will have reached the present state of our development by private enterprises and capital, and the Ontario Hydro even at this stagze is not yet ready to come into North>rn Onâ€" tario. I believe that I stated previousâ€" ly that I have no prejudice whatsoever ezainst the Ontario Hydro Commission and that, in fazt, I am greatly in faâ€" vour of it, but at the same time one must also realize that we, of the newer sections of Ontario, pay for the mainâ€" terance of that Commission and ie distributicn of electrical power through cur contributions to the Provincial Treasury, contributions paid for all inâ€" d@dentals pertaining to the establishâ€" ment of that Commission and even, at the p: essnt time, for the extrnsion of Hydro lincs in the rural section of Ontario. So some members may talk until they get blue in the face ¢f the benefit of that Commission which naturally will leave us rather lukewarm although I beliive that we have farsd fairly well in the enterprise of our own section. I am very much at ease to maks this statement, beâ€" at ease to maks this statement, beâ€" cause I can recall very vividly to my mind the reading of the editorial enâ€" titled "Serving the Public," an article which appeared in The Porcupine Adâ€" vance on the 14th of last February, in which it was told that the Canada as Interesting to North as to South, as North | to Depend on Private Enterprise for Power. forhzedyll House Also Touches on the Eurc. s a 4 s * | In this discussion, we must always fcresee any action that may be interâ€" preisd as an unfriendly act. This should te preventible in the wording of the contract so as to make contingent with a yearly rmnewal. This is certainly possi‘yle, and I feel that, within reaâ€" son, even if at times the U.S.A. will apply some of their public policies which may prove of some hardship to us, basing my statement on past exâ€" perience, it would not be conducive to l enmities I have in mind when, for instance, the US. Congress placed the Hawleyâ€"Smoot tariff, which no doubt was prejudicial to our exports to that country, we realizsed that it was a matter of internal policy with that | nation, and w» accepied it as such. Dsep regrets have been expressed at lthe demise of S‘r James McBrien, Chi*f Commissioner ¢f the R.CM.P., |fcrmer Chief of Staff in the National C:fence Department. He was a brilâ€" Hant soldisr in the Boer and Great War. He has boeen replared by S. T. Wood, a quiet efficient officer who has risen from the ranks of the worldâ€"famous ! police force. He is fully qualified to ptodwed is naturally was‘ed and, on the other hand, the only market that we may have for any surplus is the United States, because science is not yet far enough advanced, although it has made some wonderful studies in that direction in the last few years, to be able to export it to any great disâ€" tance, so that the only market that we have for it is the Republic to the South of us. Of course, there will alâ€" ways be somebody who will be talking in torms in which they will depict the stuation whereas the exportation of that power that we will be ‘building great industries in thr United States, which ctherwise would have come into this country. This argument, to my viewpoint, is rather farâ€"fetched beâ€" cause if one considers for one moment tr» wonderful developments made in the U.S.A. by the use of coal for the generation of electrizal power, in a gcod many instances that source of energy is cheapser than the one supâ€" by the Hydro development and the request of the Ontario Government is for the exportation of £nly 90,000 horsepower which repreâ€" sents a fairly small fraction indeed, of ttr power used in each country at the present time. Conservative Leader Mr. Bennett termed it incredible that a mat‘er of such vital importance as power export should ko left to the caprice of the unguided leaderless opinion of the Ccommons attonded by all the evils of Icbbyinz, and he did not see the reason why Parliament should usurp the role of th» Government in assuming full responsibility and even staking its life in the granting of export licsnses through the private bill. I found those arguments very farâ€"fetched indecd. Erst of a‘l, although the bill would be cranted them, a private bill also must primarily have, as stated awbove, the sanction of the Provincial Government which would be a great safeguard for the Central Government. As far as fcar of lotbying, I do not sse the rcascn why he grabs 2very opportunity possible to bring in sinister mstives. I have bezsn several years in this House and I know that I will be beâ€" #fered when I sta‘» that I have never been lobbied yet in any question or piacblem. It is true that I have been apmvoached by several persons in that prridd of time, but I believe that they had the right to see me on those matâ€" ters so as to give mz their viewpoints which I think is the best way for any member to acquainted with the prcjlems with whicth at times he is not very familiar. I also want to make this declaration that, although I reâ€" present one of the wealthisst constiâ€" tucnzgins in natural resources, I still have to see anry single person or body of persors with any insinvations that they wanted my assistant>, unless it was something that was logical and Italian rule?

Who would have thought cnly a few weeks ago that Austria by Honourable W. Earl Rowe, still Onâ€" tario Conservative leader, thought that the government was trying to hide beâ€" hind its 179 supporters and he stated that apparently Mr. King was afraid of Mr. Hepburn. When he stated that both the Li®eral and Conservative parâ€" tirs have had the same recognized poâ€" licins for years against power export, he was not stating actual facts because there have been many such licenses granted and ther> is presently some power export to the United States for quite a number of horse power. How Will War Affect the Mining Camps Rveryone who wants to look at the present situation with an impartial mind must admire the great courage of Great Britain who is trying with all her might to keep cool in this great crisis, and to prevent a cataclysm. (From Va!\ d‘Or News) The war drums are rumbling in Euâ€" rope, and the drums of the ball mills at Lamaque, Sigma, Siscos, Canadian, Perron, Sullivan, Shawkey and Sladen ecntinue to rumble just as effectively as they did last month. But the quesâ€" tion that seems to upset certain people in this section is, how long will our gold mines rumble, and what will be our future in this grim harsh hinterâ€" It‘s rather a large subject to cover, in spits of the fact that the history of the Canadian gold mining centres during a period of world unrest has been one of the most constant ‘bits of history of modern progress. True it is, Kirkland Lake, which had hardly gotten its Lake Shore and its Teck unâ€" derway, did not experience the same constancy of growth and improvement that was the feature of Timmins durâ€" ing the World War, but it is a signifiâ€" cant fact that dividends from producâ€" Val d‘Or Wonders on Result of War on That Camp "For three years." writes this City man, "I suffered with pains across the lower part of my back.

Will this area duplicate the Timmins and Porcupine areas or will it follow the Kirkland Lake activity, which was rcally postâ€"war? That question can cnly be answered as we review the sitâ€" uation within the same period of time that was so successfully reviewed a few years ago by The Northern News. The cne definite activity in the minâ€" ing district that is hampred by disâ€" turbed international conditions is prosâ€" pectng.
