Powell River
deal exposed

Powell River Company direct-
ors finalized their $20,000,000 ex-
pansion program while guests
aboard Lieut-Governor Clarence
Wallace’s ship, Fifer, according
to Vancouver Sun columnist Jack
Wasserman.

In his annual report to the B.C.
Power Corporation a few weeks
ago, BCE president Dal Grauer an-
nounced that Lieut-Governor Clar-
ence Wallace had been made a
director of the BCE.

To carry out its expansion pro-
gram, the Powell River Company
needs an enormous quantity of
power.

- Last week the B.C. Power Com-
mission, in a reversal of policy
obviously dictated by the prov-
incial cabinet, announced that it
had reached agreement with the
B.C. Electric to withdraw from the
Sechelt peninsula and: Powell
River, selling its plant’ and instal-
lations to the private power mono-
poly. :

for fight

to defeat power plot

A sharp warning against the effects of capitulation to the
B.C. Electric and U.S. monopolies by the Social Credit govern-
ment was combined this week with action by the B.C. prov-
incial committee of the Labor-Progressive party to mobilize
public opinion against the plot te scuttle the province’s public

In a letter sent to all MLAs and
a number of unions and other or-
ganizations, LPP provincial leader
Nigel Morgan appealed for action
to compel rejection of the Powell
River “give-away.”

Following up earlier demands
for cabinet intervention in the
Public Utilities Commission Pow-
ell River hearing to protect the
Power Commission and hydro con-
sumers against B.C. Electric pro-
fiteering, Morgan charged that a
conspiracy is afoot to destroy the
B.C. Power Commission and leave
the whole of B.C. at the mercy of
the BCE.

‘Developments at the recent
Powell. River hearing prove the
charges that have been circulating
for some time that the private
power monopoly, powerful U.S. in-
terests and the Socred cabinet are
ganging up to ditch the B.C. Power
Commission,” said Morgon.

The LPP letter appealed to
MLAs to demand that the cabinet
reject any proposal to turn the
Powell River and up-coast district
over to the BCE, and make clear
now their intention of defeating
enabling legislation at the next
session of the legislature.

The letter called for action to
restore the authority of the Pow-
er Commission, provide the
necessary capital to take care of
the Powell River and up-coast
domestic and industrial needs,
and extend its operations by tak-
ing over all operations of the

Contradictory statements

OTTAWA
by External Affairs Minister

Lester B. Pearson in Ottawa that Canada is not committed t
a defense of Formosa and by Trade Minister C. D, Howe #®
Canberra that Canada is prepared to go full out in protectiNé
Formosa were attacked by Alistair Stewart (CCF, Winnipeé

North) in the House of Commons
last week.

Stewart charged that Pearson,
to some extent, had given the
U.S. the green light to go ahead
with its policy of defending For-
mosa. But not even the Pentagon
had gone quite as far as one of
Pearson’s own colleagues.

Apparently, he continued, Trade
Minister C. D. Howe was “not of
the same mind” as Pearson in feel-
ing that Canada was not commit-
ted to a defense of Formosa. He
quoted a press report from Can-
bera attributing to Howe a. state-
ment that Canada was prepared
to go full out in protecting For-
mosa.

Pearson was stung into a de-
fense of government policy by the
attacks made by Stewart and

Stanley Knowles (CCF, Winnipee:
North Centre), who charged that
U.S. State Secretary Dulles’ policy
was to keep war away from the
continental US. without regard
for Canada and other countries
which might be involved as a CO?
sequence of that policy. .
Pearson complained that “the —
CCF takes a jaundiced and morbid:
ly suspicious view of everyU
that goes on in WS. official
circles,” and said it was unfair "

done, that Canada made’ decisiol®

“Anything I have said does not
