HOW SCARCITY OF POWER AF. FECTS EASTERN ONTARIO BUSINESS. People who are not conversant with the facts have Ifttle idea bow serfously the shortage of power in Eastern Ontario affects business in this section. v : | A traveler for large electric baking ovens was In Kingston last week, and was discusping the power situation with The British Whig. He told The Wiig that he was completely shut out of the market between Oshawa 28d Ottawa because of the shortage of power.

The same OVeR operated detwesn Oshawa and Ottawa, he sald, would cost from $100 to $150 per month. He instanced a case in one Bastern Ontarfo town where he was en- deavoring to install an electric oven. The Hydro Commission did not re- fuss the application but they made the rate prohibitive. They set a rate of $12 per K.W.H. which would equal about $200 per month. This Same oven costs to operate in Hamil- ton and Torento $50 per month.

"Who? Who?" repeatedly asked the Duke. The story spread, and that Ministry be- cams known all over the kingdom as the Who Who Cabinet. When the personne! of the Mei- ghen Cabinet was announced even Conservatives who have a close ac- quaintante with their own party re- peated the query of the Duke of Wellington. "Who is Black," "Who is Jones?' "Who is MacDonald?" "Who is Chaplin?" "Who is Mor- and?" "Who is Ryckman?" And so fon. An iaterrogation point over- hangs tle combination. It is a Cabinet for local election purposes, not for national business. | | Quebec Viewpoint La Patrie seeks to analyze the rea- sons which have prompted the Prime Minister to leave Quebec represen- tation in his mew Cabinet incom- plete. "Why has the choice of other ministers from Quebec been defer- red? We are convinced that fit is not because the Prime Minister in- tends to give to our province less than its normal representation. We beliéve Mr. Meighen purposes to treat Quebec generously--such a purpose will best accord with the in- terests of his party. Naturally, the Prime Minister wants to be main- tained in power as the outcome of the general elections, and conse- quently he will need to accomplish a new and powerful effort in order to gain adherents in this province, That is why we take it for granted that Mr. Meighen is serious and sicers in his expressed intention to give Quebec more, Ministers 'than those already mamed.
