There is nol doubt that the gov ernment is largely sympathetic to the: proposal to develop power ' at Morrisburg, proyiding that all in- terests may be harmonized and pro- viding further that proper contro: of the situation may be maintained. In the latter connection it is sug- gested that a joint control board re- presenting Canada and the United States, 'as interested, in navigation. and New York, state and the On- tario Hydro, as interested in power, be appointed so that complete sup- ervision may be ensured and com- plications such as have been all too frequent in the past may be obviat- ed, The Chicago drainage canal situa tion was also brought up at ¢he re- cent_conference in Ottawa and there are Indications that there may be a correlation in the negotiations with respect to both this and the St. Lawrence projects.

Mr. Baldwin thus faced the site uation squarely in what is regarded as his "swansong" as the political experts see nothing but defeat for « him in the forthcoming vote of con- fidence. ; The speech furnished one of the most extensive lists of proposed measures favorable to Labor that was. ever placed in the king's mes. sage. In fact, the Labor party itself could hardly have issued a more striking pronouncement. The plang cited included proposals for the betterment of the Industrial situa- tion, provisions for much needed houses for workers, amelioration of unemployment, and readjustment of age pensions.
