The chairman of the Canad- fan section of the International Joint Commission made it plain that he favors diversion of the Kootenai river into the Colum- bia in Canada by the Dorr-Bull River-Luxor dam system, He said the Dorr diversion “would produce 670,000 kilowatts at a capital cost of $145,000,000 and an annual cost of $13,700,- 000. On the other hand, Libby his| would produce 287,000 kilowatts for capital expenditures of $324,- and an annual cost of $13°700,000. “If you jam in Libby for sentimental or friendly reasons, you will cause better Canadian storage to be eliminated from the system for ali’ time,” Gen. McNaughton said. From an economic point of view, Libby was “way down the those which will provide ‘the most benefit at the least cost and that they are on the Canadian portion of the Columbia, In reply to questions the general said the U.S. never has held out for Libby as a condition for any agreement with Canada, but he added that there is anxi- ety and alarm in both Canada and the U.S. that Libby will be biult first willy-nilly. Though there was no official ‘General Favors East Ki the ¢ ot the. said Coriaye that if the United States insists, on builditig a dam at Libby, Mont., Canada should develop its -section of the’ Col- umbia river basin on its own without U.S. co-operation.

The company would gain initially but the Canadian public would lose, The Columbia development would ring the Trail area with power plants producing , 4,000,- 000 kilowatts.
