policy Mr Bennett said at a press conference on his return from a visit to the United Kingdom He said protocol notes to be submitted by Canada to the US on modifications in the treaty are almost ready The modifications largely con concern � cern sale of Columbia down downstream � stream benefits to the U S in instead � stead of returning them to B C Mr Bennett said the latest U S price offer for the benefits of 375 mills in US funds is not satisfactory He reiterated his demand for enough money to finance about 400 million worth of construc construction � tion on three Columbia Tieaty dams lo be built in B C He saul the price in U S funds would be more than 375 nulls but how much more would de depend � pend on interest rates avail available � able tor the money Mr Bennett said B C also wants the I S to establish a single agency to handle its side of the treaty instead of several existing agencies which would now be involved The premier also announced that the Hritish Columbia Toll

keeping Ontario and Quebec Im for social and economic justice The premier said lie would favor reduction of Canadian tantfs by negotiation Quebec is in the centre ot the country and the tariffs are
