By product Coke holds Promise As Best solution of Canada s fuel problem that the use of by product Coke is possibly the most promising solution of the fuel problem for Central can Ada is the statement made in on. Interesting exhaustive article on the Coal resources by m. J. Fatten a Canadian economist writing in economic geography. Bituminous Coal the raw material from which Coo is made is. Unlike Anthracite. In immense Supply the article Points out. The United states mines have a bituminous production 300 million tons a year in excess of their present Market and bituminous Coal from Nova Coua. Is also available. It is stated however that there is some doubt whether Nova Scotia Coal can compete successfully in. Ontario with Coal from the United Spates until the St. Lawrence Way has been improved to permit the passage of larger boats. Some authorities it is pointed out also raise the question whether Nova Scotia has a productive capacity sufficient to meet the situation should an extensive demand arise in Central Canada. Some maritime province coals it appears Are some what High in Sulphur Content for coking purposes but it is thought most of them would be utilized especially if blended with imported Coal. Alberta s great wealth the immense wealth of Alberta in. Coal is emphasized that province possessing seven eighths of All the Coal in Canada. In adverting to the efforts made to introduce Alberta Coal into Central Canada the article save it must be recognized that when All is said the haul 3 a serious Handicap in competing for the Ontario Market. While it is flattering to our National Pride to cherish the idea that Canada May absolutely Independent of foreign fuel the opinion is expressed that is not a foregone conclusion that such a consummation is economically desirable. Canada the author states has one sixth of All the Coal in. The world and in respect of reserves is second Only to the United states. Her fuel problem is not one of Ade quate Coal but of distribution. The great distance the Coal Fields from the industrialized Cen trial provinces which latter Are thrust southward almost into the United states Coal areas problem in geography hard to overcome. Looking to the future sir. Patton says the Acme of can Ada s development will Como when through increase of population the areas adjacent to the Coal Fields themselves will have become industrialized. War debts to Britain.
