Electric Power Export —

Conditions have changed in Canada
during recent years to an extent that the
export of power may now be justified in
certain cases, Liberal leader Lester B.
Pearson said‘ recently in Victoria.

‘ Mr. Pearson made. the statement at
a press conference after’being told that
provincial Liberal leader Ray Perrault
had told the Legislature that there was a
leaning toward a change of the long-time
Liberal policy forbidding export of elec-
tric power.

This courageous stand of Liberal
leaders Pearson and Perrault is to be ap-
plauded. It might well be one of the ma-
jor demarkation points between the swift
leftward march of the Liberal party and’

* the position of the CCF-New Party. Ran-
dolph Harding (CCF, Kaslo-Slocan) re-
cently told the B.C. Legislature that his
party’s stand on the export of power is
the same as before, and that is that power
should not be expected.

In his ‘speech Mr. Harding asked gov-
erment members to declare their stand
on the export of power, and then read
excerpts of a 1955 statement by Attorney-
General Robert Bonner in which the min-
ister said the government was opposed
‘to the export of power except in unusual

. or emergency circumstances.

. Mr. Harding said he interpreted this
statement. as meaning the government
still opposes power export and’ Premier
Bennett quickly interjected “Against it
on any permanent basis.”

The attention of Premier Bennett in
this important matter should be directed
to further statements of Lberal leader.
Pearson who noted that “Conditions now
are different than they were many years
ago when export of power was in practice
prohibited, We are exporting various
forms of energy today — natural gas,
uranium, There is an undouted surplus

eas ea li °
‘No Politics
Everybody in British:Columbia knew
that new restrictive ‘labor legislation was

going to be introduced at the current ses-
. Sion of the legislature, foll ig the wide-

of electric power, any government should
consider whether it is desirable, with ade-
quate provision for recapture to export
power. But each case should be consider-
-ed on its own merits.”

Liberals: Pearson’ and Perrault, of
course, have the added advantage in mak-
ing statements of not being the govern-
ment while Premier Bennett.is very much
aware of the fact that the CCF could pro-:
bably effectively sell the idea. to the
electroate that the export of electric pow-
er also means the export of jobs (when
the opposite is,’in truth, the case).

However, with the tremendous ben-.
efits to be gained for B.C. from the
export of power (such as lower electric
light bills and’ the construction of many
hydro-electric developments that might
not otherwise be built unless power ex-
port is: allowed), Premier Bennett ‘should .
adopt the ‘ pésition of favoring such ex-"
port and. should impress on the Ottawa
government the desirability for feeling the
same way.

* Minister Peterson’s “bill banning the de-

voting of union dues to political purposes

The bill obviously is designed to pro-*

the heels of provincial government refusal
to check off government employees dues
after the civil servants insisted on union
political action.

This is a most-unfortunate circum-
stance for those unions — and there are
lots of them — which have traditionally
