This project gives the Province of Ontario 1.000.000 horsepower on condi- ¢tions infinitely superior to those of other {provinces, seeing that this enormous quantity of power would go to the Ontario hydro whereas our electric ¢ power companies are heavily taxed and #the Dominion authorities have refuse to put them on the same footing as th Ontario power system. “If this waterway ever became useful for navigation by sea-going vessels, ' severe competition would have to be | faced by the railways, and the railways | are now at the end of their tether.” ‘ Plans Legal Fight. MONTREAL, July 15 (#)—A dispatch to the Montreal Gazette from Quebec tcday said the Quebec attorney general's department is preparing for a loga! fight to block the St. Lawrence waterways project “the minute the work starts or a further move is made.” “Premier Taschereau,” the dispatch said, “has stated plainly that he will not allow the work to be started without utilizing all legal means to stop it. i “The Legisiature has unanimously edopted a Tesolution opposing the plan. The policy of the Province of Quebec | has been to attract Americans to estab- | ish industries here by prohibiting the export of power across the border. This would become futile if the waterway | scheme is carried out. This is one of &he main objections of the government.” | STANDARD TIRE & BATTERY CO. 10 MORE THIS SENSATIONAL TIRE SALE ENDS EIRALz In addition to our spe- cial heavy duty tires, we offer Federal Traffik TIRES 16,000-Mile Guarantee 440x21.....each $3.45 4.50x20. 3.75 21, 3.80 4.75x19. 4.50 5.00x19. 4.65 00x20. 4.75 5.35 5.65 5.75 5.90 6.00 6.90 7.00 1.25 5.50x19. 6.00x18. 6.00x19. 6.00x20. 6.00x21 Lowest Prices in City Permit No. 151 5-Gallon Can $2.25 No. 151 2-Gallon Can STANDARD 935 PENNA, AVE.

Pre: nt Hoover was charged yester- day with a desire to halt the Federal Trade Commission’s investigation of the power industry, by Senator Norris, the Independent Republican from Nebraska. After a lengthy address in the Senate, Norris reached a climax with the asser- tion that the investigation, though far from complete, already had discovered $520,000,000 of “financial water and air on which the poor people must pay for t | all time” in the capitalization of electric utilities. “And yet,” shouted Norris, “if Presi- dent Hoover had his way all this would stop, all this work in behalf of the | public.” Norris sometime ago announced he support Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic nominee for the presidency, | just as in 1928 he supported Alfred E. | Smith_against Mr. Hoover. Norris linked Joseph R. Nutt, treas- urer of the Republican National Com- | mittee, with power company operations, | saying he was a member of a syndicate | which bought companies in Utah, Idaho, | Wyoming and Colorado in 1912. Norris swung then to the Power Com- mission and charged that J. L.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15—Dele- gates to the National Northern Baptists convention here today blocked on the floor a threatened break with the Fed- eral Council of Churches of Christ in America. The revolt movement, led by Rev. W B. Riley of Minneapolis, fundamentalist leader, centered on the question of eppropriating funds for the federal council. Mr. Riley and his followers opposed any appropriation. A compromise resclution finally was adopted which authorized the $7,500 proposed for the federal council b2 divided equally between that body and the Home Mission Society. ‘The convention also received for con- sideration a forum recommendation for instruction of children in sex life. No announcement was made on the prog- ress of the Resolutions Committee on a proposed resolution dealing with the attitudes of the major political parties on the prohibition question. ‘The report of the Convention Finance Committee submitted an _estimate of $7.196,567 for the 1932-33 operating budget.
