OVITAWA. March 10—(CP)—A pica for a broad and complete pic- ture of the government's plans for converting industry to peace with a. view to informing business of what it can expect and giving members of parliament an oppor- trinity to deal intelligently with various proposed measures was made today in the Commons by John Dieferibaker (PC-Lake Cen-

tro).

Th‘; Saskatchewan member was one of several opposition speakers who expressed conditional approv- al of the industrial development bank bill. Howard Green (PC- Vcncouver South) and Rodney Adamson (PC-York West) the supported the bill. but com- pla ed that its full implications could not be assessed without in- formation on other aspects obthe government program.

The New Democracy group, with Victor Queich as spolremian, spon- sored s motion to delay further consideration until after the bill to revise the Bank Act was brought

own.

Mr. Quelch said the House should so; to what extent gaps in the banking system were to be cor- rected in revising the chartered bank system before improving the creation of a now govemment-own- ed hank to make medium and

li. long-term loans to industry.

CCJ‘. members supponed the motion for adjournment. but Pro- gressive-Conservatives voted with the Liberals against it and it was defeated by 104 to 32

ZSenators Urge Study 6f“ undy Power Prospects

senator Robinson a kc on a mot- ion asking that the minlon Gov- ernment launch an investigation by electrical engineers. He said he would ask at a subsequent sitting that the motion be referred to a wmmittoe.

Preliminary estimates indicated the development would have 5, cap- acity of 400.000 horse power and would cost something between $20,- 000,000 and $40,000,000 New Bruns- wick was seriously hamlcapped by limitation of available power and use of the Fundy tidal waters would make a ncw source of power avail- ubic to the province as well as to Prince Edward Island and s. large part of Nova. Scotla-

The tidal power possibilities at this point, where the maximum tide reaches 45 feet were probably great- er than anywhere in the world, Senator Robinson said. ‘Tile prov-

l waters a Petitcodlac

offered to pay a share of the inves- tisnticrrs costs.

Senator Black said the develop- ment held great possibilities for the Maritime; as a source of cheap power. Large natural salt deposits were located nearby and with pow- er available importrnr chemical in- dilstrles might. hc developed.
