evitably leads to political meddling,
and, henceforth, Japan will see to it,
by force if necessary, that there is
no meddlingin China.

Why Hydro Buys Power
Hydro has always obtained its power supplies from whatever source has, from
time to time, been determined to be most economical.
In the earlier years of Sir Adam Beck's administration, 98 % of the power dis-
tributed to Hydro municipalities was purchased from private sources. Then it
became 'economical to build or acquire generating stations. At the present time
Hydro owns forty power -producing plants.
Power demands must be provided for—years in advance. The Commission was
prevented, by international and other circumstances, from further development
of Ontario's large power resources on the Niagara, St. Lawrence and Ottawa
rivers. The only economical course left was to purchase—as the Commission
did—low-cost power from available sources.
The following table sets forth the growth of your great Hydro undertaking
through the years:

It is the considered opinion of this Association that Hydro has pursued a cautious, business-
like, and far-sighted policy in the purchase of supplementary power and that present
power reserves are not excessive.
The general policy of the' Commission respecting purchased power has been initiated with
the approval of the muziciiali.ties and endorsed by the Hydro associations. These Hydro
municipalities know the power requirements, and are obligated to supply the ever-growing
demand for low-cost Hydro service in their respective districts.
