Trans -Canada Pipe (Continued from Page 2) Tories' Sham Battle When Mr. Drew moved a cen- sure motion against Speaker Beau- doin, Prime Minister St. Laurent said he could not help but feel that personal attacks on the Speaker, Deputy Speaker Wm. A. Robinson, and Committee Chairman Edward Applewhaite were all merely part of the overall opposition obstruc- tionist program to defeat the pipe line or at least delay its passage beyond the June 7 parliamentary deadline. The Conservative and C.C.F. op- position members condemned the government, lock, stock and bar- rel over the pipe line bill, claim- ing the government had forfeited the moral right to remain in office a month, a week, even a day longer than it would take for Parliament to be dissolved and an election be held. Yet. on June 11, four days after the pipe line bill was given Royal Assent, Mr. Drew failed to oppose the voting of interim supply for the government. Six closure mo- tions, taking up 12 days, would have been required to get interim supply voted in all stages. Had the Conservatives and C.C.F, op- posed interim pipe line bill, it was inevitable that Parliament would have had to be dissolved. The only conclusion the public could draw from Mr. Drew's fai- ure to oppose interim supply, in attempting to force dissolution of Parliament. was that the Conserv- ative and C.C.F. inembers. all along, had just been fighting a sham political battle; that they themselves did not believe all the nasty things they had been saying about the government during the preceding month. Certainly, that was the demon- strated reaction of many press cor- respondents a sn d newspapers across Canada who. during the pipe line. had been cheering on the opposition in belaboring the government. Mr. Howe, perforce. was a cen- tral figure throughout the pipe line controversy. As he stated, it like- ly will be his last big project on Canada's behalf. His public re- cord, since 1935. in peace and in war. speaks for itself as a mas- sive one. One of Canada's most effective Conservative editorial writers found it necessary to ad- monish. sharply and promptly. Donald M. Fleming (P.C.. Toronto - Eglinton) for his gratuitously in- sulting references to Mr. Howe's birth in the United States. No Gift.

Conservative Premier Frost of Ontario, Social Credit Premier Manning of Alberta, and Liberal Premier Campbell of Manitoba, all publicly urged commencement of pipe line construction with a mini- mum of delay as being essential to their respective provincial inter- ests and in the interests of the national economy as a whole. Urgent Need of Alberta Gas Under Canada's constitution, na- tural resources are controlled by the provinces. The Alberta gov- ernment has set a ceiling, for the time being, of 600 million cubic feet of gas daily for sale outside that province and has decided, on its own prerogative, upon private enterprise for such sale. The fed- eral government only comes into the picture when natural resourc- es from one province are to be us- ed by crossing provincial boundar- ies or through export outside Can- ada. Premier Frost should be ade- quate and reliable enough author- ity for the public statement that Ontario, in the midst of perhaps the greatest industrial boom being enjoyed by any area anywhere in the world today. urgently needs Alberta gas by 1960 at the latest. Why did the St. Laurent govern- ment make the deal it did with Trans Canada Pipe Lines Ltd.? Briefly, it was the only company having the necessary license from the Alberta government to sell Alberta gas outside that province. The company had secured prac- tically all the right-of-way requir- ed for the pipe line to Winnipeg and to Emerson, as the outlet for gas export to the United States. It was the only company with an option on the required 34 -inch pipe to build the western section. It had spent much time and effort and expense on arranging con- tracts for gas purchase and for later sale. Important Angles on Pipe Line Some important subsidiary an- gles of the government's gas pipe line policy may be cited as fol- lows: 1. Forty-five per cent of all company profits will revert to the federal treasury in corporation taxes. 2 The federal treasury will gain large tax revenues from Alberta industrial expansion in the manu- facture of numerous by-products of "wet" gas before residuary fuel and power 'gas is transported east- ward. 3. Much additional federal tax revenue will come from continued Ontario industrial expansion using Alberta gas in the future. 4. The current imbalance of Canadian -American trade will ben- efit in two ways—Central Canada, by increased use of natural gas for fuel and power purposes, will have to import much less Ameri- can coal each' year and Canadian exports will increase to the extent of whatever Alberta gas is export- ed south ,of the border. 5. Conceivably, new Ontario in- dustries will manufacture goods now imported from the United States. Why did the St. Laurent govern- ment not decide upon a public ownership policy for the gas pipe line? For one thing, a gas pipe line is hardly a monopolistic field gener- ally considered to be appropriate for public ownership operation. The Ontario Hydro Electric Com- mission, is to be noted, controls all phasesof its operations The "coo • iso. n its pduoes ail t paw., aIYix irt a d�,� hen & its, r� a ,,. distribution and sale to domestic and industrial consumers. Good Control Over Price of Gas For the gas pipe line, under pub- lic ownership, the federal govern- ment would have had to buy its gas from Alberta producers want- ing the maximum price, pipe it to Central Canada, spend as much as $1,000,000,000 over the next five or ten years on necessary municipal and domestic servicing facilities, and then sell gas to consumers wishing to buy at the lowest pos- sible rates. It was agreed that, if the fed- eral government decided to oper- ate the gas pipe line as a common carrier, some private company set up would have had to be establish- ed to buy gas and later distribute and sell it. Otherwise, gas purchase prices and gas sale prices would have become "a political football" in both federal and provincial elec- tions. When Trans Canada Pipe Lines Ltd. begins gas operations, the Board of Transport Commission- ers for Canada and various pro- vincial government agencies will have control over the rates at which Alberta gas will be sold to domestic and industrial consum- ers in Central Canada. Further- more, it is provided that gas can- not be exported to the United States at lower rates than appli- cable in Canada. From all appearances to date, it would seem that the St. Laurent government gas pipe line policy has already been amply justified in the national interest.
