CLARKSON MAKES REPORT ON HE 1 FINANCES AND THESE x TENSIONS PROPOSED Half of Provincial Debt Is Repres- | ented By Advances To Commis | sion--The Report. Tabled in the Legislature. (Canadian Press Despatch) Toronto, March 27.--Warning the Ontario Government and the Hydro- | Electric commission that they must proceed with caution and due regard | for financial consideratiofs in future | extensions in the power system is ut- | tered by G, T. Clarkson of the firm | of Clarkson, Gordon and Dilworth, in a special report to the government | upon Hydro affairs, Some time after | taking office, the Government in or- | der to be in a position to deal intel- ligently with hydro-extension propo- sals, instructed Mr. Clarkson to re: | port on undertakings to which the | commission is committed, the financ- | ing required to complete them and the probable cost of other necessary | extensions in the next two years, The | report was tabled in the legislature | yesterday. i Perhaps the most striking featur of the report is the revelation of the | magnitude of the hydro system. Of | $100,000,000 debt of the province, $40,000,00 is represented by ad- vances to the commission while $10,- | 000,000 has been paid for the pur-| chase of the Central Ontario system owned by the government, directly! and operated by the commission, but; $40,000,000 is, only a starter. The report of the accountant informs the government that to complete the Chippewa development, Nipigon works, the Rideau development and other system, abd to make the usual extensions over a period of two years will require from $26,000,000 to| $27,000,000.

New York, March 27.--No such] place as Reno should desecrate our fonal life and there should be a Fora law supplanting all the state divorce laws, said the Rev. Dr. | William .T. Manning, rector of Tri- | nity Church. "In some of our States the grounds for divorce are such that the mar- riage relation is terminable /practi- cally at will. A marriage bond which is dissoluble at will, or practically so, is not a foundation upon which a ci- vilized society can endure. "To say that men and women may live together for a time and then, with legal sanction, separate and form new alliances, as uitan they please, is practically to olish mar- riage and to substitute a system of legalized free love. "On Manhattan I3land alone 1,335 divorces were granted in 1919, as against 889 in 1918, an increase of about 50 per cent over the year pre- vious. In the States of Oregon and Washington a recent investigaion is said to show that during' a &ix- months' period the ratio was one di- vorce to every two marriages.

As this sensational yarn has been cabled to America, it may be inter- | esting to not genesis, as traced | by another rad paper, the Star. The Star's editor believes the origin of the Herald's story is to be found in the fact that J. L.

With regard to Armenia, France! { would have been willing to hand Cil- | icia to the United States if the latter | had accepted the 'mandate. Up to the present we have only | received requests from America to | protect Armenia, without any offer to assume responsibility," Lloyd George said; "we hope France will undertake tli résponsibility, but it is much to ask gonsidering all the burdens France already has.' It was quite 4@ipossible for England to send armies to keep order in Armenia and Asia Minor. England would do her utmost to exert pressure i tan- tinopte to secure good treatment for Christians but was unable to accept 'a wider responaibility. The Armenians are an excetionally intelligent people and must begin to depend on themselves for the pro- tection of their independence, Lloyd George said, adding that he under stood that they could easily raise an army of 40,000 men. Great Britain would be willing to supply equipment and officers for their training. If that were done they could defend themselves against the Turks. Referring to Central Europe, Lloyd George said : *If Germany would perform her part of the treaty by volunteering to state what amount of reparations she is able to{ pay, and if she cam prove the i ssibility of paying un- less she fir¥t secures raw materials, 1 do not believe either Belgium or France will stand in the way of her obtaining the necessary credits. But there must be a definite indication that she intends to discharge her lia- bilities." . * To Get Eighty Pieces. Moose Jaw, Sask., March 27.
