2. The cost of money, To be
of greatest value to the Canadian
economy, Upper Columbia power
must be developed for sale at
the lowest sossible cost. One of
the largest factors,in the cost of
a major hydro development such
as thls is the rate of interest;
even a fractional difference in in-
terest rates can reflect an im-
portant difference in the cost of
the forthcoming power, and it is
commonly known that govern-
ment borrowings carry a lower
interest rate than. private issues.

WHEN WILL DEVELOPMENT
COME?

development of the Upper Colum-
bia must await international agre-
ement on downstream benefits.
Since the Columbia will ser-
ve an important portion of the
needs of this province in the
years to come, the decision on
what the downstream benefits
will be and where they will be
allocated is vital in planning to
meet the future power needs of
the province.
It should be made clear, how-
ever that the Columbia will meet

only a part of our future needs.
