If
ttcnttelt

how
to

These

on

of

negotiation
with
fonnei

to
anivo
at
a
fui
mutually

Ilete
in

there
was

in

of
Canada
West

b

Powet
Commission
I
he
foimuia
woiked
out
by
Mr
Justice
Wilson
was
leadih
aun
i
to
by
both
paitics
It
has
in
fact
become
a
classic
all
over
iNoith
America
But
no
our
anogant
piemier
couldn
t
do
things
the
right
way
lie
had
to
show
his
contempt
foi
lustnu
precedents
for
the
Legislature
for
the
people
ot
B
i
and
for
the
law
He
had
to
have
vengeance
against
the
B
C
I
lectin
because
its
former
management
would
not
load
Us
system
with
expensive
Peace
Rivei
powei
He
had
to
commit
an
act
of
puacv
instead
of
a
legal

Pci
haps
people
will
now
lemombei
that
the
whole
senes
of
Bennett
schemes
foi
empne
building
in
B
have
all
turned
out
to
be
pipe
dreams
which
one
bv

exploded
in

He

give

Columbia

to
the
US
Kaisei

1

This
was
a
fantastic
bit
of

These
same
icsouices
aie
now
calculated
to
be
woith
27
million
a
yeat
by
Bennett
s
own
cngineeis
But
the
ptemiei
clung
to
this
scheme
for
thiee
veais
after
all
its
faults
had
been
made
abundantlv
clcai
Next
