‘*SALESMEN. OF CANADA’ Liberal Davis would sell Columbia to By BRUCE YORKE Dr. Jack Davis, former re- search director for the public- gouging B.C.E., is the Liberal Party spokesman on power questions, notably the Colum- bia River. In the early fifties Davis was special assistant to C. D. Howe, the Liberal cabinet minister best known for the turning over of Canada’s re- sources to the United States. In 1958 the Canadian peo- ple handed the Liberals, “the American Party”, a crushing electoral defeat. In the recent el@@tion, however, far too iny of these same Liberals returned as M.P.’s. One m was Davis, elected in Coast Capilano. lavis is a Rhodes Scholar. “talks very learnedly. He to be informed. But it come to patriotism, he and the Liberal Party are bankrupt. They are literally e _ Salesmen of Canada’. Peto break down the resis- mee of the Canadian people te isto from the Unit- tes. Their chief ability ig to talk out of both sides of thei mouth at the same time. has shown this most arly with his position on 7c. Columbia River ‘) General McNaughton, for- te eral minister of Na- tid Defense, commander ~ the Canadian Army in the eck World War, and for Hes past twelve years head fhe Canadian section of a Columbia International Joint Commission, has de- nounced the “draft” bia River Treaty. He has stated flatly that the Treaty amounts to “servitude in perpetuity of Canada’s vital interests’. Davis has made it quite clear that McNaughton does not speak for the Liberal Party. In the course of an ex- change with a delegation of his constituents, Davis not only refused to support Mc- Naughton, but actually advo- cated the worst, possible form of the sell-out, the outright sale of all downstream bene- fits to the United States with no power generation at all in Canada. Davis admitted that Mc- Naughton’s Plan would mean more power for Canada. But he refused to advocate Fed- eral Government action to PRIOR GARAGE & SEKy iCE 219 Prior St. MU 3-2926 COMPLETE AUTO SERVICE & REPAIRS Auto Body Work LEE, Proprietor ROOFING & SHEET METAL REPAIRS Reasonable Gutters and Downpipes Duroid, Tar and Gravel NICK BITZ BR 7-6722 ‘ eans of glib talk they Colum-’ implement McNaughton’s al- ternative. Instead he took re- fuge inthe province’s rights under the B.N.A. Act. When confronted with the fact that the federal government could constitutionally intervene in the national interest Davis re- fused to fight for such a pol- icy. Davis admitted that the U.S. Libby Dam project, giv- en the green light in the “draft” Treaty, should be scrapped. But he would not support McNaughton’s_ di- version of the Kootenay into the Columbia, the Canadian alternative. This is all the more a matter of double-talk because in Davis’ own words it would be ‘“‘a very easy di- version”’. r Davis admitted that. the High Arrow storage- project should net go ahead, that a low Arrow project be com- menced instead. In his words, he was in favour of this ac- tion at this time in order to protect the ultimate develop- ment of Mica Creek, the power producing site in Can- ada. But, he would not sup- port the immediate construc- tion of the very same Mica Creek Dam, as General Mc- Naughton advocates. Davis objected to the Gen- eral’s views because wants to use every last drop of Canadian water possible in Canada’’. Davis feels that this is too rigid a position and too costly. He obviously has no faith in the development of Canada, and the need for us to conserve all our resources. Besides, it is simply not true. Even Davis could not contra- dict the fact that McNaugh- ton’s plan would produce Col- umbia power at 2.79 mills compared to 4.15 under the ‘he’ terms of the “draft” Treaty.

Nothing could be further from the © truth. The Americans haven’t and won’t go ahead with their so- called alternative on _ the Snake River (a tributary of the Columbia), because it is far too expensive a proposi- tion and would produce very little extra power. The Snake joins the Columbia at a point below where the main gen- erators are installed. Hence, for instance, under the “draft” Treaty sell-out, the Americans could double the capacity of Grand Coulee, but under the so-called Snake River alternative no added capacity could be installed. Seeing that he was caught on his bluff Davis had to con- cede the point. He’ was ex- posed, but he still gave no support to General McNaugh- ton, only acceptance of the sell-out draft treaty as if it had actually been ratified. Only talk about minor revis- ions designed to cover up the betrayal. Any illusions about the Liberals and their policy of “renegotiating” the Treaty are simply that. The Liberals, as well as the Tories and the Socreds, stand for the essence of the Treaty—the subordina- tion of Canada’s interests to those of the United States. The Liberals are attempt- ing to carry out the original . ; —Za “Before we operate, where do you stand on Medicare? integration plan put forth’ by their Finance Minister in 1949, the so-called Abbott Plan. Under this plan Canada concentrated on the produc- tion of raw materials for the benefit of United States in- dustry. This policy, continued by the Conservatives feder- ally and by Social Credit pro- vincially, has landed our country in the dollar crisis of to - day, austerity, cht mass unemployment an : national bankruptcy. aes The Liberals, Rh.
