Water power, favorable climatic conditions, a plentiful supply of labor, and aggressive management were the secrets of her continued dominance in the manufacturing field. But since the opening of the century, the South has begun to establish its own mills. Cheap labor, plentiful coal, and proximity to the sources of raw material give it insuperable advantages over the northern area. Under such conditions the frantic speeches of Gov.

Within its 400,000 sq. mi. are one-third of Canada's population; one-half of Canada's industry. Almost every known mineral except coal lies beneath Ontario's geologically ancient hills. And that fact has given rise to the greatest public power enterprise in the capitalist world-the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission. Last week "Hydro" found itself in the thick of a furious politico-economic fight which stirred the whole Dominion...
