C. Manning of Alberta and Premier Leslie Frost of Ontario, the St. Laurent government is about to sell the long-promised all-Canadian natural gas pipeline and Alberta’s vast storehouse of cheap power down the river to the United States. The new plan now being put forward by Trade Minister C. D. Howe and sup ported by both the Manning and Frost governments, will send Al- pberta gas to the US. via Emer- son, Manitoba, where it will be picked up by Tennessee Gas Transmission to feed Milwaukee and Chicago and be stored in giant wells in New York and Pennsylvania. Eastern Canada will have to buy back Canadian gas from the US. company at Niagara at a higher price—but northern and northwest Ontario, desperately d Oftawa make a completely fresh start by a publicly-owned trans-Canada pipeline. This would guarantee control and use of this great national asset by Canada. “| urge your cabinet at once propose to parliament adoption of the necessary legislation to this effect and so prevent control of Canada’s natural gas from pass- ing into the hands of foreign in- terests.”” in need of new sources of cheap power for industrial expansion, will be cut off completely unless an allCanadian line is built along the northern route. Thus, as in the case of the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Can- adian Arctic, the Liberal govern- ment—behind a screen of prom- ises of all-Canadian development ' — has betrayed another great nation-building project to US. control. It promised an allCanadian Seaway up to the point of enact- ing legislation—then yielded con- trol of the key sector to Washing- ton. It set up»a Northern Affairs Department ostensibly to pre- serve Canadian sovereignty over the vast and rich Arctic area— thén turned over control to USS. military authorities for war bases. It promised the people an all- Canadian natural gas pipeline, declaring Canadian needs must be served before Alberta gas was exported to the US. Ais Ontario LPP leader Stewart Smith told a London election rally this week, instead of a nation-building project the na- tural gas pipeline has become a “nation-bleeding préject.” Smith recalled that Sir John A. Macdonald has declared that no Yankee money would be al- lowed to control the building of Canada’s railway and had built the trans-continental line (oppos- ing the U.S. “proposed north- south plan) to establish Canadian nationhood against the threat of U.S. annexation. How ‘sweeping the sell-out to the U.S. has been is seen in these facts: @ Practically all Alberta’s na- tural gas resources are now owned or controlled by U-S. in- terests, thanks to Premier Man- ning’s ready cooperation. Nathan Tanner, former Socred minister of resources, following a personal visit to his office by Clint Mur- chison, Texas millionaire and ~ owner of Trans-Canada Pipelines Ltd., quit his post to become president of Murchison’s com- pany. @® The federal government gave an exclusive contract to Mur- chison to build the pipeline.
