In taking stock of Canada‘s position during the present period of worldâ€" wide economic difficulty, one of the most inspiring features is the fact that Whe Dominion‘s Waterâ€"power resources furnish a seemingly irrepressible ‘Impetus to national progress. In the face of all the bfiffets of business eycles, waterâ€"power development continues to forge rapid‘y ahead. Since 1910 Canada‘s waterâ€"power installation has risen from less than ene million to nearly six million horseâ€"power. The record of growth has been a marvel of persistency. During the past twenty years, waterâ€"power Gevelopment has maintained a sureness of advance through all obstaclesâ€" Yhrough the preâ€"war slump, through the disruption of the war itself, and. through the drastic ups and downs of the last decade. â€" And toâ€"day, in the midst of worldâ€"wide depression, there is being carried forward ‘the greatest program of hydroâ€"electric installation in the history of the Dominrion, . ~__ _ This ability of waterâ€"power development to hold its forward course in "Wh@â€"face of recession in almost every other major field is one of the most Tortunate and favorable factors ‘affecting â€"Canada‘s _e'conopli:. m’smo-' and progress.
