Its record of service during the past ten years is proof of how it has carried out this assigned task which has contributed so much to the higher living standards in this province. In the past decade, this self-supporting utility has grown to an $80,000,000 Crown Corporation serving more than 56,000 customers ..+ many of whom are enjoying the benefits of electricity for the first time. POWER MEANS PROGRESS Owned by those it serves, the Power Commission is one of the soundest investments the people of British Columbia have made in the future of their province. This Week In Ottawa By E. D. Fulton, M.P. March 26th, 1955. RESTRICTION Proposals under consideration in the United States Congress and Gov- ernment drew from Canada one of the sharpest diplomatic protests this country has ever delivered. The proposal is to restrict imports of erude -oil into the U.S. either by a yoluntary but Government-approved quota system, or to introduce legis- lation making such a quota statu- tory. As the Canadian note pointed out, either method would be equally objectionable. PROTEST The note bristles with such terms as the “great concern” felt here over the “unfortunate and damaging et- fects” such action would have; the Candian Government’s “inability to understand” -how .the U.S. could justify such a move; and their desire to ‘emphasize the importance of avoiding restrictive measures in the United States’ which would “‘frus- trate” economic co-operation in this yeld. They are gentlemanly terms it is true— perhaps even too gentle- manly—but for the language of dip- lomacy, this is pretty strong stuff. INEFFECTIVE Unfortunately, the indications are that the effects are not very great. There are some who think that Can- ada has more or less invitéd continu- ation of restrictive actions by the United States against products we export, as a result of our failure on any previous occasions’ to do any- thing effective by way of counter: acting harmful American economic policies of the past. Thus progress- ively since the war import quotas haye been applied in the U.S. against Canadian oats, barley and other grains, butter and other dairy pro- ducts, while Canda has been used as a ready market for the disposal of surplus American fruit and vege- table products, and lately, textiles, to the great detriment of Canadian producers TOO LATE Those who are concerned feel that the lack of effective counteraction by Canada on these occasions has led the United States to conclude that they can continue to violate the free trading principlesto which all cotsi= tries are now supposed to subscribe, without effective counteraction by those thus injured. The feeling, therefore, is that our note has been sent too late: that had we protested in this way four or five years ago, and been prepared to back our pro- tests with action, we would not now be ignored. RESULT If the import restrictions are ap- plied in the United States it will very probably have a damaging effect on a new enterprise which cuts close to home. Trans-Mountain Oil Pipe Line is not yet operating at anything like full capacity; but even so, a substan- tial percentage of its through-put goes to an American refinery at Ferndale, in the State of Washing- ton. First indications were that this refinery, owned by Socony-Vacuum, would lye almost immediately dis- continuing its importation of Cana- dian crude from this line. More re- cently however, according to a tele- gram from its President to our-Min- ister of Trade and Commerce, it-has been made apparent that-the com- pany was discussing what it would do under a proposed voluntary im- port. quota, and have said that- the restrictions on their imports would apply only to their operations east of the Rockies, and that no change was planned with respect to their oil supply at Ferndale. 2 UNCERTAIN When, however, I asked Mr. Howe in the House whether, if the Am can policy were to ‘be implemented by legislation imposing a statutory quota, this would then force the cur- tailment of importations from (the Trans-Mountain line, Mr. Howe saii that he did not know. Then for some reason he added, “Not being a shareholder, I am not very much concerned”. It is difficult to under- stand why he should take the posi- tion that, unless he is a shareholder, he should have no concern, as the responsible Minister of our Govern- ment, for the effects ofa potentially damaging American economic. policy on a Canadian industry. Canada has 115,000, troops on act- ive service but here is the harsh note for the taxpayer: It takes 30,000 ivil servants to administer these troops. 2. through: EDUCATION RESEARCH WELFARE TREATMENT FACILITIES Make your dohartonipeyableio CONQUER CANCER CAMPAIGN c/o Chairman Rev.
