The HydrmElectric, though run by the Ontario Government, has hitherto posed as a business concern, but it is throwing of! that cloak.

Investors .‘aving oxperiencad government inter- ference in one case could no more in- rest in public utilities. The business of public exploitation, once assumed by the government, is left to the gov- ernment, and men of energy and en- terprise drop their projects. Such men are not doing to devote them- selves to devising new enterprises in communities where the people do not know whether they want such on- terprise, or may think it their duty to crush it out. Mr. Batochc Terry leaves on Thursâ€" day for Saskatoon. a political power-generating: and vote-catching plant is a horse 'of another colorâ€"Perhaps a horse of Troy. This! means much to many towns that have some peculiar natural ad- vantage. A government department, or a semi-government commission cannot very well go about looking up places to start industries, think- ing up industries that will prove pro- fitable to particular neighborhoods. or supplying the capital for such in- dustries as others may plan. All these three things can and must be done by a business concern that de- velops 9 large water power. Every dollar that it puts into such a. plant is a guarantee of local industries that will either be incited in the community l-y the company's encour- agement and loans, or that will be brought there from the outside. There is one. aspect of this public owner- ship movement that may not have occurred to those who wish to see it universal. Will they be. pleased when every socand or third man they meet is a government official with his pull? We have already sacrificed to the common government liberties that many of us would like to recall, as, for instance. the right to trade, freely with whom we. will.
