Speed Building 0f llyiiro Plants In Soviet ilnion

By TOM WHITNEY

MOSCOW. April 1'1 — <AP> - The last month has seen intport- ant developments in thc field oi hydro-electric power in tho Sov- i t Union.

It was recently announced ihal. the immense Fhrkhsd power sta- tion and dam in central Asia was completed and had begun w l-ilve current. This immense devcloil- merit begun during the war viii be little less than the iuruhl hydro-electric power installation now operating in the Soviet Un- ion, 1t will, in addition, irrigate an immense area of 500.000 hed- eres (more than 1.000.000 ducal of some of the richest cotton land in the world in the so-calicd hun-

grli: “'25 also announced that construction of a tremendous new power station and dam on the Volga River at the large city of Gorki had begun. The dam will be 1i kilometres (about seven miles) long, and will pNdl-KB him‘ dreds of millions of kilowatt hours of electricity for the cen- tral industrial region of Russia upon its completion, The cxcuv- ation work for this clam alone will be several limes as 2N0!- 85 5116i for the Dnieper dam in the Ult- raine. the biggest iiydro-elcciric installation in Europe.

Another trunendous new dam and poorer plant are under con- struction in the Altai region 0i eastern Kazakhstan. A Soviet magazine has reported that “the day is not fay of!" when the first hydro-turbine of the plant using the water-power resources of the lrtysh river will give current. Lit- tle information is available on this dam but it is clear that it is a. development of first. importance for one of the newer indust- rial areas of tihe USSR.

Power For Moscow

A fourth power turbine - with a. capacity of 55.000 kilowatts has been installed at the Shcher- bakov (Ryblnsk) pcrweir station near Moscow. This is a further stop in the realization of the elec- tric power of the V0188 liihlch 8i» Ryblnsk a dammed back into one of the biggest amlficls-l lakes l.n the world. The current will flow to the industries of Moscow.

It has been announced from the Caucasus that construction work is progressing rapidly on a great project for harnessing the power of Lake Sevan in Armenia in a series of cascades and hYClIO-PIPC- trlc plants.

r. r. lslsntl Disadvantages

(Continued from Page L!)

men in the lower wage brackets should human increase at an early date because some o! them. from their low wage earnings. had not really sufficient money ivith ivhich to live in a proper way. However we are also looking for better transportation service from the railways: we are looking fur let-tier passenger service as well as better freight service. when we make those demands on the rail- wny. no know that good trans- porution service requires gooj facilities: and those in turn can be maintained only by ecouomieai operating methods and by proper charges’ for services rendered to the different provinces.

Government Responsibility

l give it as my opinion that i.f the railwsrs cannot continue w operate and give us an improved service, then it is definitely u-p to goverimeni: to decide how to take care 0t this service and how it is to be paid for by the people of Canada.

After all. the railways were built for the purpose of developing Cac- ndn and having trade move from east to west and west to east, un- der certain conditions with respect to freight rates. If there is to no this great loss of some $33,000,000 according to the last report o! the railways, it" is a matter for the Government to look into and see how this amount can be made up. On the basis of this 1i per cent horizontal increase right across tile board. it is an iniustice to certain provinces and means discrimination against certain products.

Last evening the hon. member for Royal (Mr. Brooks) carefully reviewed the whole situation in the Maritime Provinces. so that it is not necessary for me to go into the same details. I agree 100 per cent with his remark: con. cernlng New Brunswick. Nova Sco. tia and Prince Edward Island, but I should like to add a few wore: with particular reference to my own province of Prince Edward ls- land. where l believe we are ths most victimized of all under this increase.

Underproper conditions. and if w_e can be shown the need. we are prepared to pay our average shirt 0f the cost. having in mind the service we get and the freight we are producing for the long hauL

lKEJ. Potato Crop

Just here I should like to men tlon one particular item. In the case of Western Canada the great cash crop is wheat, followed by coarse grains. I was pleased w note that under the order grant- ing the increase the rate on wheat was not changed, that it remains‘ as it has been in the past. [o Prince Edward Island our cash crop is seed and table stock poi-a- toes. followed lg’ turnips. Our cash crop is not given the consideration that is given the cash crop o! the west.

This outstanding industry in Prince Edward Island should not have to pay this increase while the rate on the cash crop of the West remains the same. As l said be- fore. I do not object. to the Wes‘ having this advantage, but the cash crop of Prince Edward Island should be placed in the same posi- tion.

with respect to potatoes, we let it both coming and going. We shall have to pay a much higher freight rate on our potato mach- inery. and it has been stated that fertilizer brought in for use in connection with the production m potatoes will cost $1.40 or $150 a ton more because of the increased freight rates. Then. when we ship our potatoes to the Central Pro- vinces. to Montreal and Toronto. where we have to meet the com petition of home grown potatoes, we shall pay an additional 01.60 a ton. ’l‘hese increases on both in- coming and outgoing freight make a considerable difference.

After Recon

When the House tool: recess at six o'clock I was talking about the discrimination against our cash crop of potatoes. As hon, members are aware. this is a perishable crop as compared with wheat and it needs a. great deal of care in storage and handling prior to shipment. l submit that the we'd should have given special consid- c-ation to our cash crop as hal been given to the cash crop of wheat in the West.

When the Minister of ‘Transport was making his aiblo speech with reference to this subject a few nights ago he seemed-to fear that if this measure did not carry as suggested by him there would be amalgamation oi the two great railroads. I would remind him of the slogan that. we used tn hear at one time: "Amalgamation nev- er. competition ever." We have no fear of amalgamation in Prince Edward Island because there is no competition as far as the railroad! are ooncemed.

This is a serious question for our producers. For instance. our ship- pers werre handicapped for a time last winter because of a shorten of reefer cars. If there is a short age oi cars in New Brunswick the people there can appeal to the Canadian Pacific and obtain the some number of cars that they would procure from the Canadian

petition. we are entirely in the hands of the government-owned Canadian National. l was glad to be able to put on the record that- tho Minister of Transport had beer. able to meet the need for reefer ears. However. as I said. if time were competition we oould appeal to the Canadian Pacific when sucl- a shortage arose.

Maw Telegrams

The other night the hon. mem- ber for Royal stated that he had received a great many telegrams. letters and telephone calls from people in the Marltimes. 1 think molt hon. members from the Mvi- time Provinces have received scores of telegrams, letters and telephone meaealea demanding that the mem- bers from the Maritime: stick to- gether on this issue and fight to have it left as it was before. es- peelally as far as the Maritime Provinces are concerned.

when the hon. member for wat- erioo IOIIi-h (MI. ﬂomuth) was epseldll on this question t-hl other night he said that in his opinion the great Province o! Ontario would be Willing to" pay its share of the cost- of any "Vision of

Apart from repeating what the hon. member for Royal has said. I have covered the ground pretty well. Prince Edward Island is dir- ferently situated from NW Bill!" twink and Nova Bcotla.
