NATURAL GAS SELLOUT
Pearson talks ‘Canada First’

but gives away vast resources

By MAURICE RUSH

While making speeches in Van-
couver about “retaining Canadian
control over our resources and
political independence,” Prime
Minister Pearson announced last
week one of the biggest sellouts
of B.C, natural resources inhis-
tory.

He told a press conference
that the federal cabinet had given
the Westcoast Transmission Co,,
permission to boost its natural
gas exports to the U.S, by 200
million cubic feet per day by
November 1.

This action of the federal cab-

-inet, which followed a recom-—

mendation of the National Energy
Board, gives the company per-
mission to boost its exports from
303 million cubic feet to 505
million cubic feet per day in the
next seven months,

The decision by the Liberal
government must have been made
some time ago but only announced
during the Prime Minister’s
visit. The giant steel pipes
needed to build the linetoSumas,
at the U.S, border, have already
arrived in Vancouver and have
been shipped to the Interior,

The placing of the orders and
the manufacture of the one-yard-
in-diameter pipes in Japan must
have taken many months, Two
weeks ago the PT carried a front
page picture of these pipes being
loaded at Vancouver’s Centen-
nial Pier,

Under terms of the new con-
tract between El] Paso Natural
Gas Co,, and Westcoast Trans-
mission Co,, the price paid will
be 28.85 cents per 1,000 cubic
feet. While this is a slight

increase over the previously ne-
gotiated price, it still heavily
favors the U.S,, many of whose
industries have heavily bene-
fitted.

An example of howthe previous
export permit favored U.S, indus-
try is illustrated by the fact
that while  Phillips-Pacific
Chemical Co, in Idaho paid 38,7

-cents per thousand cubic feet

of B.C. gas, Cominco at Trail
was paying 40.5 cents per thou-
sand cubic feet for the same
gas which originated in the B,C,
Interior. :

Under the old export permit
B.C, gas consumers were paying
more for domestic use than did
consumers in the U.S, northwest.
It is not clear at this moment
whether the new arrangement
would alter this situation.

Forest takeover _
in Newfoundland?

Newfoundland’s legislature
was told last week that the gov-
ernment intends to set up a royal
commission to examine the forest
industry and that “thought” was
being given toa government take-
over of all Woodlands in the prov-
ince,

Premier Joey Smallwood said
the government might purchase
for cash all the forests now held
by private firms and sell to the
paper companies all the wood
they require, He said that this
might make it possible for the
government to recover the pur-
chase price in 60 yearsand would
enable the government to exer-
cise complete control of forest
management,

In any case, the new permit
hands over to the private mon- __

of B.C,’s most fabulous and ver-
satile resources.
