CANADA USING
UTILE OF HER
WATER POWER
OTTAWA, On;., Feb. 22.—Can
ada's waterfalls developed 3,000,000
horsepower of electrical energy dur
ing 1922. The revenue to manu
facturers from this power amounted
to $81,600,000, according to a re
the Federal Water
of the Dominion
port issued by
Powers Branch
government.
Ontario, with
chief source of
duction among
Niagara Falls as its
power, led in pro
the provinces with
1.330.000 horsepower. the report
shows. Quebec foflowed closely with
1.100.000 horsepower, and British
Columbia was third, with 310,000.
The remainder was distributed!
among Manitoba, Alberta, Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince!
Edward Island.
Despite the high cost of construe- j
tion, hydro-power development in
stalled last year totaled 529,000,
horsepower, ^fotal capital invested;
in water power is estimated at
$620,658,731. Horsepower develop
ment amounts to 337 per l.Ottt of'
' Canada’s population.
’’Demand upon industrial centers
for greater production is increasing!
with the cultivation of new stretches'
of farm land in the West,” the re
port states. "Industrial experts are
urging rapid installation of hydro
power plans with a view to provid
ing machinery and other farm sup
plies at a lower cost, and .thus stim
ulate the greater settlment of
lands.”
Water power now in use repre
sents a little over 6 per cent of
Canada's total water power re
: outers, which are estimated by the
report at -41,700,000 horsepower.

STEEL INDUSTRY E
TO BE UNIFIED
j I
—
Scheme Is Now Being Worked 1
Out—Resolution Given
to Government.
! ’
TOKIO. Feb. 2-’ The unification of i >
the iron and steel industrv iing has 1
been a subject of discussion and
many people Interested in the enter- !
prise have been steadily we.rking fir
the realization of the scheme. Their
councillors of the Iron and Steel'd
Association recently passed a resolu
lion advocating a thorough unifica
tion of the industry and presented |
the resolution to the government.
After dwelling on the iimportant na
ture of the industry for the purpose
of national defense the resolution j ,
goes on to say that the demand for' |
'iron and steel in the country Is year-!'
ly increasing, bringing about a pro-',
portionate increase in the import of i
these goods anti that if their import ;
is not confined' to proper limits the ,
future of the domestic industry will
lie seriously compromised.
As things stand at present, the.
ressolution states, private concerns ,
are engaged in one. branch or other
of the Industry and lack a thorough
cooperation in the manufacture of pig
;;!iron and of steel and steel materials.
| The government steel works, it is
I rioln'ted out. aro conducted on a gi
i ganttc scale with the inevitable ten- ;
i dency that the official enterprise is ]
always bringing pressure to bear upon i
I private efforts. \
So long as this state of affairs ob- |
tains no real development of the in- i
i dustin’ can he expected. The anlalg- (
' amation of private iron and steel
' making concerns will be meaningless
, If the government steel works at
fakata is left out of account. For'
his reason the resolution urges the!
overnment to take this phase of the
uestion into careful consideration
ml to map out a fundamental plan!
f unification cf the iron and steel
ndustry in the country, so that the
overnment enterprise and private I ■
oncerns may be merged into a com-! .
rehensive whole. \
