madam pOwer for Canadian industries
has been the motto of Sir Adam BeclS
chairman of the commission. and wal
conditions have brought Il specdier ap.
plication of the policy than had been
expected
Treaty Limits Water Diversion.
To replace the Canadian current
thus lost, steam generating plant has
been built here with an ultimate capa
city of 10000 horse power. Steam
plants and water power plants fpI
down the state have been drawn upon
to keep Buffalo factories going. Part
of the current from the new hydro
plant will he available for American
industries, but only those engaged in
war work, Sir Adam has announced.
Under the treaty between Canada
Great Britain and the United States
the diversion of water on the Canadian
side is limited to 10000 cubic feet o
second. The limit on the American
side is 10000 feet.
Canada already has authorized the
diversion of all but 6.000 cubic feet of
her allotment. Under special war per.
mits the American companies are also
within few hundred feet Of their
limit.
The new channel will carry off about
10000 cubic feet of water second.
This will necessitate some readjust-
ment of the allowances to the other
Canadian companies unless the treaty
is modified. This has lead to sugges'
tons of consolidation of all the Cana.
dian companies and the 100000 horse
power development.

TOUGH ON FRENCH GIRLS
They May Not Wear insignia OF
America Army.

Mimi, Claire, Marie and the rest of
the girls In France will have to get
along without those bronze buttons of
a strangeness with U. s. on them (for
why, when every one knows the name
of the country is Les Etats-Unis), and
without such other souvenirs as they
used to acquire through their dough-
boy and jack tar friends. Here 1t is
in official language:
Concerning French citizens consent
ing to purchase from soldiers of the
allied nations or to receive from them
articles of clothing or equipment:
"Any such act is absolutely inter-
dicted and exposes violators TO judicial
prosecutions under Articles 400, 461 Of
the penal code and PAT Of the code of
military Justice"
N. B.-That applies to sailors hat
bands too.

One of the greatest water develop
ment projects of the many centerng
about Niagara Falls has been launched
on the Canadian side of the river. II
contemplates an immediate production
of 100000 electrical horse power, or
equal to approximately one-half the
present total development on both
sides of the river, and it may expand
to 100000 horse power.
Actual work on the new channel was
begun recently by the Ontario hydro
commission. There were no ceremo-
MES and the launching of the work
was virtually unknown to the general
public. The channel will encircle the
city of Niagara Falls. Ont, one running
from the Welland river, tributary OF
the Niagara above the cataract, to the
escarpment below Queenston heights.
The power house will be located on
the river level almost at the foot of
Brooks monument.
100000 Horse Power Planned.
The channel Is the first one planned
to get the full benefit Of the difference
In level between Lakes Erie and On
tario, approximately 300 feet. The old
companies, with penstocks located
close to the foot of the cataract get
head of about 200 feet. The additional
100 feet head. 1t Is estimated. will
make II possible to develop the 100000
horse power with the same flow of wa.
ter required to develop 100000 horse
power at the falls.
While the units under construction
for the power house are planned to
produce only 100000 horse power, the
canal itself will be built to allow a
future flow of water capable of treb.
ling this volume.
The Ontario hydro-commission is q
provincial body, appointed by the On
tario government. 1t distributes power
to Ontario municipalities within a ra'
dius of 200 miles of the falls at low
cost. A large part Of the current gen
Grated on the Canadian side, formerly
exported and distributed by an Ameri.
can corporation, has been cut on. Ca

No one will dispute the assertion
that conservation of money and
credit is urgently required or that, if
properly managed, the curtailment
of loans to none essentials would be
an effective way of putting the ma
tion in a position to devote its maxi
mum effort to war. But that this
can be done by the method under
consideration by the Capital Issues
Committee-that is, the assumption
Of the power to pass on all bank
loans of 100000 or more, without
causing a disastrous unsettlement of
business-is highly improbable. If
the power of veto were assumed only
III relation to loans for capital pur-
poses not much harm, and perhaps
some good, might be done, since
few days more or less would make
no difference in the majority Of such
loans. There would be some difficulty
in making classifcations, although
this obstacle probably would not be
;nsurmountable.
But the assumption of control
over all bank loans in excess of the
amount named would be very diff
flcult matter, for time is Of the es-
sence in most cases, and to hold up
decisions on loans even for a day
would, to say the least, surely work
great hardship in innumerable cases.
A tardy decision would often be as
bad as fiat refusal to make loan.
The plan might revolutionize bank
ing, with doubtful results. No such
power over the banks has ever been
vested in any bureau, and it is a
poor time to make an experiment so
farreaching, especially when the re-
ouirements of the situation can be
met in other ways. Let the Capital
Issues Committee or the Federal Re-
serve Board lay down a set of gen.
eral rules for the guidance of the
banks, and bankers may be trusted
to see that they are scrupulously OBJ
served. The rules could be made
broad enough in their scope to cover
the great majority Of applications.
And if any bank should violate the
letter or spirit of the regulations the
Reserve Board has the power to
bring it into line. We do not be-
lieve that it would ever have to ex-
ercise that power.
