Abstract
MR. JOHN R. READ, president of the Canadian Westinghouse Co., Ltd., gave an interesting broadcast in Canada on the vital part being played by the Canadian electrical industries in the war effort (Bull. Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario). He stated that the Canadian worker has more electrical energy to call upon than anyone else in the world except the Norwegian. More than 80 per cent of the power used for all purposes in Canada is electric power, and to-day the electrical plants of the Dominion can produce some nine million h.p., more than five times the amount of electric power which was available for the service of Canadian industry during the War of 1914–18.
