objection\u2014the House of Commona today delved into the Bt Lawrence deep waterway scheme.There were spLeches both for and against the project.Opposition to the, scheme cams from Quebes members who, criticized it mainly on the question of cost.Bupporters of the scheme, in addition to the advantage which, they claimed, would .accrue to transportat on stressed tho necessity of power development on the St.Luwrence.Premier King assured the House that every aspect of the situation would be examined before anything final was done.The Government wotld select outstanding men for the national committee and final decision as to Canadian \u2018action would lie with the Canadian Parlament.Ottawa, March 24\u2014(By Canadian Press)\u2014Opposition to the Bt.la'v- rence waterways project was expressed in the House of Commons today by J.Archambault, Liberal, Chambly and Vercheres.He critl- cized the removal of Judge Mignault form the International Water» ways Commission on the ground that Quebec was left without .re- presentat.on, Any Inquiry that might be made into the cost of the project, would in itself be too ex- pemsive.Mr.Archambault made three points against the scheme : (1) Economy; (2) That it\" would be of no value to the Province of Quebec and, finally (3) That it was a bad precedent to set by entering into a joint project with the United States of that nature, If any canal were to be \u2018built, it should be the Georgian Bay Canal.Me Archambault referred to a that the entire cost of the project would be $1,450,000,000 and suid that during the winter months the canal could only be seventy per cent efficient.\u2018The deepening of the St.Lawrence, he mid, would involve great custs in the matter of dredging harbors.Mr, Archambault appealed to the f nancial results of the Panama Canal and the New York barge canal as evidence that the operation of the proposed Ht.Lawrence waterway would result In a large deficit, He chiculated that allowing for cost of operation and for annual charges on the cost of con- atryction there would be a yearly charge against the Dominion if Canada for the canal of $17,000, 000.: \u2018Proposal of Semator of Utah.He cited the propueal of Senator King of Utah, that the south shore of the ft.Lawrence should be cedéé to the United Siatem and remarked that hy might just as wel) have proposed that New Bruns w.ck, Nova Bcotla and Prince Edward Island should be handed over, It would be dangerous, he declared, for Canada to enter into a Joint agreement with the United States on this subject.If Canada footed the whole bil, it would be too heavy a load to carry; if the United States paid 78 per cent of the cost, the United States would have control.He cited as an example of the kind of treatment Canada would get in the working of such an agéeement the d sregard ot Canadian Interests which Had been shown by the United States Me eonnection with the Chicago drainage canal.The Georgian Bay canal project appealed to Mr.Archembault ns n much more satisfactory means of moving western Canad an produce te the ssa from Canada's point of view.Hon.R, J.Manion, Conservative, Fort Wil'am, contested the figurce given by.Mr.Archainbault for the entire cost of the project.The engineers of the International Joint Commission liad estimated the cost of the waterway in the international section of the river, Incleding water power development, at $383,000,000.Sp \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 1 Ther report had stated that the returns from electrical powsr might eveh pay the interest charges on the cost of the international section.Dr.Manion said that he had no objection to the Georgian Bay Canal, but he .thought the 8t.Lawrence scheme would be more satisfactory because it would cost less.One half the cost of the project would be paid by the United tates and Canada's share would be much tess than the cost of the Georglan Bay Canal.The St.Lawrence scheme also seemed more feasible, He did not th'nk that many ocean steamers would run up the Great Lakes sven if the St.Lawrence waterway went through, but lake bonts would go down to Montreal and Quebec.Montreal stood to gain a certain amount of American traffic.Dr.Munion thought, and much of the Canadian wheat which now went by Buffalo, would go to Montreal.John Millar, Progressive, Qu'Appelle, made a comparison of grain rates and traffic via all'rall and water routes and showed that the Erie Canal route had not been able to attract more than an average of twenty per cent of export grain travell'ng to Uniteé States Atlantic seaboard.The chief difficulty une he saw It, with the Georgian Bay Canal project was that boats could travel only about four or five knots through the canal zone and time lost thereby would detract \u2018much from its usefulness.Mr.Millar sald that he was not aposed to the St.Lawrence scheme aut he was opposed to putting it ito effect just now.He was pleased, he mid, with the course he Government was taking In the matter.Opposed to The Scheme, was opposed to the Bt.Lawrence scheme, he said, as a business undertaking.It was an American project, he said.Mr.Bt.Pers \u2018told the House that he felt he was ex- nfæasing the opinion of all public bodies and the working people of Montreal In associating himself w th those who opposed the undertaking.\" Premier King sald that the debate illustrated the importance of taking everything into consideration before Canada was committed to any course of action in connection with the St.Lawrence waterways.The Government was aware that th's was one of the greatest undertakings which Canada had ever been asked to participate in and he assured the House thut every aspect of the question would be lodked into before anything final was done.For this reason ithe Government proposed to select outstanding men for the national rommiltee to whom it could look for careful advice.The practical and technical sde of the work would be thoroughly gone into by the Canadian members of the joint engineering board and the question of the levels of the river at Montreal would be one of the points taken up.The Government would not devote the millions of the Canadian people to this project without aobmitting It to Parlament, The svening sitting of the House hrought further debate on the St.Lawrence waterway scheme.From Quebec members, there came opposition to the project.A.J.Lewis, Progressive, of Swift Current, felt that the Government was right in esking for further cons deration.T.IL.Church, Conservative, North Toronto, however, hoped the work of the Commissioners would not be delayed as the scheme was most Important to Canada.Pointed Out Advantages.Mr, Church read from a report made two years ago ot: the St, Lawrence waterways that pointed out the benefits in water power and transportation that would be derived from the despened #t, Lawrence.It was one of the most Impertant economic problems ot North America today.The resolution of

Interesting Tak By Me._A.0.Bourbonnais On Elec- * trioity in Province Ths members of the local branch of the Engineering Institute of Cadada atiended a meeting at the City Hall yesterday evening st \u2018which two very interesting addressss were heard.Mr.A.O.Bourbonnais, of the Quebec Bireams Commission save an interesting talk on the activities of that body and Mr.A.F.Hanly entertained his audience by enlightening them on the recent in- venitona in alr compressed machines and thelr uses.After explaining that the Streams Commission had been created to study and improve river conditions in the province, Mr.Bourbonnais sald that one hundred rivers had re- celved the active attention of the \u2018omission, after which he proceeded to give them details on the work which would prove interesting from an engineer's point of view.As examples of the work accomplished he gave the building of four important dams.The Gouin dam, on the Bt.Maurice River.was finished in 917, forming a .reservoir which can hold 180 billion cubic feet of water.The Allard dam, on the St, Francois River had been built at five miles from Disraell In the same year whose reservoir contained 13 blillon cubic feet, while two other lêrge dams had been built on Lac Brule and the Bavane River.He considered that the government had acted wisely in the appointment ot the commission.Mr.Bourbonnais summed up the present situation as follows: The government constructed dams and the companies benefitting by the water power thus made avallable to be converted into electricity, paid a certain sum each year which represented the cost of control, repairs, sinking fund and the interest on the capital invested in the enterprise.Thus the work turned out to be an Investment instead of an expense, or it was the creation of extra wealth for the province.Calculations had been made with the greatest prudence with the result that the amount of pewer being had from the improvements made on the different rivers had in many cases exceeded the firat estimate formed by the commission on the meager information it had at its disposal for some time after fits creation.The speaker went on to give the names of places and figures which proved that a great deal more power had been realised than had At first been expected.\u2019 In the drawing up of plans for the building of a reservoir, the exaot nature of the surrounding territory had to be well considered, and fit was also necessary to learn the quantity of snow and rain which fell annually in theregion, as all thess details had an important bear- Ing on the force of waterfalls.In 1910, the.province had 22 meteorological stations.These have been (improved and the number increased \"| until today there are eighty such stations which prove a great help to the commision in its work.Several methods have been tried in recent yeats for the measuring of power according to the volume of water going over the head of the fall, but the commission has established a scale at ail the falls on which it has worked, these enabling observations to be taken every day.Since two years à report of these observations have been aent to the Dominion Water Power Board of the Federal Interior Department, and i3 published in their annual report.is system keeps the commission informed as to the exact amount of power produced.In the last nine years the power produced at the Gouin dam varied from 38 to 69 percent, with an average for the nine years of 52 percent.The Allard dam has produced varied percentage of from 53 to 67, with an average of 63.At the latter dam the power produced has been greater than was at first estl- mated, the quantity of water reaching 700 and even 900 cuble feet instead of the estimated 600.The speaker afterwards gave.his hearers some Interesting facts about the North Shore, which he had actively investigated during three years.In this territory there are 32 rivers which have been Investigated by the commission as to their hydraule value.Eagulmaux Point was reached In this work which ie 300 miles trom Quebec.With the aid of ail- des, Mr.Bourbonnais very clearly explained the nature of this region, showing the many

hand theeo are plenty of papers and plenty of people who believe that if we are to protect Canadian Industries we should employ the same methods our nelghbors take to protect agriculture.That is a far different thing to the petty meanness attributed to the East by the Manitoba Free Press.The position of those supporting a moderate tariff policy is perfectly cicar.They may\u2014and truly uay-\u2014\u2014that a reduction of tariffs would shipwreck Canadian industries.In Canada industry is in ita infancy, the markets are still small and as à result the manufacturers cannot compete in

FOREST.Development of some of the natural resources of Cauada has within the two decades of the present centary established records which are almost phemo- wenal, says the Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Department of the Interior.The fertile lands of the prairies, owing to their outstanding tm- portance as the source of the enormous grain crope whigh they have produced, have overshadowed all other development.The prairies, however, are not the only natural resources in Canada that has come into its own on un imposing scale within very vecent yeurs.The older provinces of the Kast have witnessed the vise of an {adustrial prodigy thet rivals even the record of Western progress.The spread of commercial value over millions of acres of Western farm lands la almost matshed by the commercial romance of the pulpwood forests of Eastern Canada snd British Columbia.For sheer rapidity of development there is nothing In Canadian cxperience\u2014excepting only the advance of the farming frontier of the prairies\u2014to equal the speed and abruptness with which the Dominion\u2019s fm- mense pulpwood areas have been converted from idle ato active assets that today rank among the very fore- west producing properties of the comnery.From earliest times the forests of Eastern Canadà have played a leading role in buliding up commercial enterprise.The sawmill has founded move Canadian Spmmrunities and fortunes than almost any other form of industry.More than fifty years ago, when the sev.etal provinces were united by Confederation, the new Dominion was known to other countries and continnod Shr years to be known mainly as a source of lumber.And sawmill products have remained down to the pre- Put day as one of the chief classes of goods carying Canadian trade Into all quarters of the globe, But after the long record of Gecades and even epnturies of broadening development.it has besn left % the last ten or fifteen years to witness sm utterly See ait growths of forest industries.The pulp and per mili has usurped the prestige of the sawmill.Saumbering al stands as one of the major pillag of (hneding indestries, bus fn an samslugly shert peried ag soon the ried of s FiENtle Wipert which ia some re Apia, oy} Con .The sudden, almost magic diffesion of compertia) (bles and activity over Canada\u2019s miltions of meses of foresie fe à striking example of how the of ous country develop the resvaress of anctlige, paper, perticulariy for nowapeint.The mahufactere of newépriet is the big end of tbe Canadian paper ine dustry and over 80 per cent of tho newsprimt produced is exported to the United States.Only ton years ago American mills wero able to mect all bat à mali percentage of the dumestic requirements, but in the meantime the output has boom steadily falling behind consumption.The use of nows- print has increased tremendously.Oa the other hand the depletion of the pulpwood supplies of the Fastorm and Lake States has permitted oculy a moderate fm crease of American outpdt.Faced with this situation American newsjrint comsamers are now compcelibé to tmpors almost half of their requirements Canada has stepped imto the breach.Her exports of newsprint alose have risen from less than four million dollars in 1913 to over eighty million dollars in 1088.Thus the Dominion's puipwood resources, alter suffering a long period of commercial indiffore ence and costly exposure to every form of inroad ex cept that of industrial weed, have suddenly brea drawn ato wee on a scale and with a degrees of avidity eavely equalled in the annais of worid commerce.Seldom indeed has the magic wand of international trade reached out and as swiftly lifted any industry trom half a century of infuncy to the stature of an industrial giant.It tu not necessary to retail a long succession of wmatistica-m order to establish the importance of this newcomer to the ranks of outstanding Canadian Industries.But some idea of ite relative power in enhancing the commerc'al strength of the Dominion may be gleancd from the fact that its main producte= paper\u2014stands second to wheat only among the com.moditics entering into Canada's mies abroad.Ten yours ago the Dominion\u2019s exports of paper amounted te less than $7,000,000\u2014or about one-third of the cx- ports of cheese alone.This year all of the cheose and butter, exports from Canada\u2019s three thousand diary factories, plus all of the apples and other fruits from J » the famons orchards of British Columbia, Ontario and the Annapolis Valley, plus all of the cattle from the ranches of tho West and the stock farms of the East, | all of the salmon, lobstcrs, cod, halibut and other; species shipped from Canada\u2019s varied fishing groands | to every quarter of the globe, all of the furs from the uorthern territories that havo fed the fur markets of the for centurics\u2014all of these exports lumped together are scurcely equivalent to the value represented by the Dominion's shipments of paper in 1933.This industry\u2014the manufacture of pulp and paper \u2014which has been reared to such dimensions in one decade as to overshadow enterprises long catablished as major pillars of the Dominion\u2019s trade abroad, manda out as one of the truly impressive features on the skyline of the newer commercial Canada.MCGILL UNIVERSITY, The annual
