BRITAIN AND WATER POWER.
♦ ! THE MOST BACKWARD NATION. (Br CaMe—Press Association—Coprrjrkt) (Australian cr.d X.Z. Cablo Association) LONDON, December 31. Mr Lloyd George visited tlio watorpower works in tho Conway \ alley. In the course cf a speech, ho regretted that Great Britain was the most backward nation in tho utdisation of j water-nower. Germany had long used water-power for agricultural and other purposes. Tho secret of tho future lay in tho adequate exploitation of our great natural resnur?es. Cheaper power would revolutionise industry. Labour was demanding shorter hours, therefore something must bo dene to in- ! .-reaso production. Willing hands were j •dirouded in the clouds —which did not ; demand an eicbt-hours day. It was j ;rue that tho clouds soinetirr.es struck, I Hit dams were prepared in these cast's ; ls strike-breakers. _ Gre;it reservoirs | held stored water while the clouds wero j striking.
