QUEBEC iCPi — Questions are he ng raised in political circles here about the physical and economic feasibility of New- foundland's plans to bypass Que- ec and route power from Lab- rador to New England via a

and overland wu-es.

The Quebec government has indicated it doesn‘t want blow the Hamilton Falls power issue into a full-scale contro- versy through a continued ex- change of public statements with Premier Joseph Smallwood of Newfoundland.

However. comments heard in legislature circles make it clear

at the government does not think highly of Mr. Small- Wood's plans. .

The Montreal Gazette in a re-

t from its Quebec corres. ndent quoted unnamed

lremain convinced Mr. Smalu wood's whole idea was a gigan- tic bluff designed to stampede Quebec into coming to terms on a power agreement.

The newspaper said reaction in Quebec was Mr. Smaliwood'; alternative route plan was won- derfully imaginative and wildly impractical.

SALE WAS PROPOSED Originally it was proposed the power from Hamilton Falls be sold. to Hydro - Quebec at the Labrador border and then ansmitted overland to New

gotiations last July on grounds that it had not been possible to reach an agreement on deliver- ing the power to Hydro-Quebec at an economic price.

.micr Jean Lesage has said repeatedly the door is still open to a resumption of negotia- tions. '

But Mr. Smallwood announced last Thursday he had “escaped Quebec's clutches" and his gov- ernment planned to adopt an engineering report which said that power could be transmitted

from Labrador to Newfound- land and the Maritimes via un- derwater cables and then over- land to New England.

The feeling in Quebec gov- ernment circles is this route would be longer and costlier than an overland line through Quebec. Quebec has had one ex- perience with underwater cables and it proved a costly failure. The cables were designed to carry power from the Bersimis development on the north shore of the St. Lawrence to the Gaspc Peninsula on the south shore. 3! miles. The cables never worked properly and eventually were abandoned.

A question Quebec officials are also asking is why Premier

veloped under public rather than private control. The Que- bec officials say experience here and elsewhere indicates public rather than private development is the most economic procedure in this area. They say even in the United States public devel- opment of power sites is con- sidered or x. WOULD CUT COST

At Hamilton Falls. for In- stance, Quebec feels public ownership would cut financing costs by half and wipe out the federal taxes a private develop- ment would have 0 y.

“How do you explain Premier Smallwood's attitude?" a re- porter asked Premier Lesage

st week.

"I don’t explain it." Mr. 1e- sage replied. “I leave it to your imagination.”

British Newfoundland Devel- opment Corporation lBrincol controls about 80 per cent of Hamilton Falls Power Com- pany. which holds a renewable 99-year lease on development rights on the Hamilton River.

Quebec-Hydro owns about 15 per cent of the company and Newfoundland about five per cent. according to unconfirmed

No Russian Retreat Seen In Quarrel With Red China

the Soviet Union is not going to change its stand on any point.

The sources said the timeta- ble of the world conference has been changed.

A preparatory meeting will be held beginning Dec. 15 as originally planned. But posi- ponement leaves unchanged So- viet long-range thinking about China.

The conference Is expected by be non - Communist observers

ANGERS KREMLI‘N

The sources high in the So- lviet Communist party leader- ship said the new Kremlin lead- ers had been angered by a re- cent Chinese attack on former

policies.

The policies criticized have been endorsed by Khrushchev's successors in the top Soviet jobs. party first secretary leo- nid rezhnev and Premier Alexei Kosygin.

The Chinese attack was made In Peking's theoretical journal Red Flag on Nov. 21.

Soviet leaders were particu— larly angered by Chinese criti- cism of de - Stallnization. The sources indicated that SoViet foreign policy might be debated with foreign Communists but Russian internal policy was not a proper subject for Chinese comment.

The possibility of a Soviet- Chinese meeting early next year in Peking was greatly re- duced by the Red Flag attack and the general Chinese atti- tude behind it. Soviet sources said Sunday.

Roth realized that West. a good player. had never bid -- even though he had shown up during the play with the A- . K of clubs. ace of hearts, and king of spades Roth therefore con- cluded that West could not have the king of dishonda or he would have entered the bidding.
