In,contrast to this you find that

this would be the legitimate field

for lack of thef,hurnan .;elements
that the, problem has been de-

Possibly 'the biggest single fac-
tor which • contributed to the ten-

Would the , development of , the
Lawrence help or.hincier, the
position of the Maritirner?. Tha
is a very debateable subject since
on the one hand coal and steel
the two greatest products they
would have to' offer, could come
up to centralized industry, while
at the same ' time the, develop -
'tient of the St.' Lawrence would
produce more electrical energy
which would beused in • prefer =

At present the entire . area is

fade with the closing of the war.
Th,e opportunity is ripe to start
something which will give the
Maritimers some semblance of an
attempt, to better their position.
