It cannot be denied that for a rea
defen.-e proposition our ports shoul-'
be the point.- touched, because the

ability to bring land and sea together
quickly
We admit it would be very nice t

more importance to the peopte is t>
have a road touching the ports. * he*
would be of ju.-t a* much use to the
tourist and of a far more use to the
Government as a defence propo-:

small thing in holding down freight
rates as it would put the inland pe..

electricity from liydro-electric power
plants at other times than that of the

sell su«-h power at a low rate than
to waste it, and the manufacture of

Another good source of hydrogen, in
the speaker's opinion, ia gases of coke
